Transient Measurement Unit (TMU)

IV, TPV, TPC, CE, (Photo-)CELIV - Semiconductor characterization for thin film solar cells

Applications

  • Semiconductor characterization
  • Measurement of every relevant solar cell parameter
  • Know your device limitations – Improve your devices
  • Study ageing behavior

Measurement Modes
