Electrical testing validates the process and proves to the students that they made working (or not working) devices.

The core learning experience in ece444 is semiconductor fabrication, so testing should be as simple as possible for the student. With this in mind, a collection of test setups has been created.

Since the overwhelming majority of ECE 444 students are ECE majors, testing will not be laid out in as much detail as the chemistry type procedures which are used to create the devices. We have prepared some basic, safe models and setups for you to use, but in almost every case, there are modifications which can, and therefore should, be made to the setups in order to exhibit as much useful information about your particular device as possible. The object will be to apply your knowledge of the devices to make these adjustments. For example, don't settle for plots in which all the "action" happens along one edge.
