Safety precautions
The following safety precautions should be observed before using this product and any associated instrumentation. Although some instruments and accessories would normally be used with nonhazardous voltages, there are situations where hazardous conditions may be present.
This product is intended for use by personnel who recognize shock hazards and are familiar with the safety precautions required to avoid possible injury. Read and follow all installation, operation, and maintenance information carefully before using the product. Refer to the user documentation for complete product specifications.
If the product is used in a manner not specified, the protection provided by the product warranty may be impaired.
The types of product users are:
Responsible body is the individual or group responsible for the use and maintenance of equipment, for ensuring that the equipment is operated within its specifications and operating limits, and for ensuring that operators are adequately trained.
Operators use the product for its intended function. They must be trained in electrical safety procedures and proper use of the instrument. They must be protected from electric shock and contact with hazardous live circuits.
Maintenance personnel perform routine procedures on the product to keep it operating properly, for example, setting the line voltage or replacing consumable materials. Maintenance procedures are described in the user documentation. The procedures explicitly state if the operator may perform them. Otherwise, they should be performed only by service personnel.
Service personnel are trained to work on live circuits, perform safe installations, and repair products. Only properly trained service personnel may perform installation and service procedures.
Keithley Instruments products are designed for use with electrical signals that are measurement, control, and data I/O connections, with low transient overvoltages, and must not be directly connected to mains voltage or to voltage sources with high transient overvoltages. Measurement Category II (as referenced in IEC 60664) connections require protection for high transient overvoltages often associated with local AC mains connections. Certain Keithley Instruments measuring instruments may be connected to mains. These instruments will be marked as category II or higher.
Unless explicitly allowed in the specifications, operating manual, and instrument labels, do not connect any instrument to mains.
Exercise extreme caution when a shock hazard is present. Lethal voltage may be present on cable connector jacks or test fixtures. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) states that a shock hazard exists when voltage levels greater than
30 V RMS, 42.4 V peak, or 60 VDC are present. A good safety practice is to expect that hazardous voltage is present in any unknown circuit before measuring.
Operators of this product must be protected from electric shock at all times. The responsible body must ensure that operators are prevented access and/or insulated from every connection point. In some cases, connections must be exposed to potential human contact. Product operators in these circumstances must be trained to protect themselves from the risk of electric shock. If the circuit is capable of operating at or above 1000 V, no conductive part of the circuit may be exposed.
Do not connect switching cards directly to unlimited power circuits. They are intended to be used with impedance-limited sources. NEVER connect switching cards directly to AC mains. When connecting sources to switching cards, install protective devices to limit fault current and voltage to the card.
Before operating an instrument, ensure that the line cord is connected to a properly-grounded power receptacle. Inspect the connecting cables, test leads, and jumpers for possible wear, cracks, or breaks before each use.
When installing equipment where access to the main power cord is restricted, such as rack mounting, a separate main input power disconnect device must be provided in close proximity to the equipment and within easy reach of the operator.
For maximum safety, do not touch the product, test cables, or any other instruments while power is applied to the circuit under test. ALWAYS remove power from the entire test system and discharge any capacitors before: connecting or disconnecting cables or jumpers, installing or removing switching cards, or making internal changes, such as installing or removing jumpers.
Do not touch any object that could provide a current path to the common side of the circuit under test or power line (earth) ground. Always make measurements with dry hands while standing on a dry, insulated surface capable of withstanding the voltage being measured.
For safety, instruments and accessories must be used in accordance with the operating instructions. If the instruments or accessories are used in a manner not specified in the operating instructions, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not exceed the maximum signal levels of the instruments and accessories. Maximum signal levels are defined in the specifications and operating information and shown on the instrument panels, test fixture panels, and switching cards.
When fuses are used in a product, replace with the same type and rating for continued protection against fire hazard.
Chassis connections must only be used as shield connections for measuring circuits, NOT as protective earth (safety ground) connections.
If you are using a test fixture, keep the lid closed while power is applied to the device under test. Safe operation requires the use of a lid interlock.
The symbol on an instrument means caution, risk of hazard. The user must refer to the operating instructions located in the user documentation in all cases where the symbol is marked on the instrument.
The symbol on an instrument means warning, risk of electric shock. Use standard safety precautions to avoid personal contact with these voltages.
The symbol on an instrument shows that the surface may be hot. Avoid personal contact to prevent burns.
The symbol indicates a connection terminal to the equipment frame.
If this symbol is on a product, it indicates that mercury is present in the display lamp. Please note that the lamp must be properly disposed of according to federal, state, and local laws.
The WARNING heading in the user documentation explains dangers that might result in personal injury or death. Always read the associated information very carefully before performing the indicated procedure.
The CAUTION heading in the user documentation explains hazards that could damage the instrument. Such damage may invalidate the warranty.
The CAUTION heading with the symbol in the user documentation explains hazards that could result in moderate or minor injury or damage the instrument. Always read the associated information very carefully before performing the indicated procedure. Damage to the instrument may invalidate the warranty.
Instrumentation and accessories shall not be connected to humans.
Before performing any maintenance, disconnect the line cord and all test cables.
To maintain protection from electric shock and fire, replacement components in mains circuits — including the power transformer, test leads, and input jacks
— must be purchased from Keithley Instruments. Standard fuses with applicable national safety approvals may be used if the rating and type are the same. The detachable mains power cord provided with the instrument may only be replaced with a similarly rated power cord. Other components that are not safety-related may be purchased from other suppliers as long as they are equivalent to the original component (note that selected parts should be purchased only through Keithley Instruments to maintain accuracy and functionality of the product). If you are unsure about the applicability of a replacement component, call a Keithley Instruments office for information.
Unless otherwise noted in product-specific literature, Keithley Instruments instruments are designed to operate indoors only, in the following environment: Altitude at or below 2,000 m (6,562 ft); temperature 0 °C to 50 °C (32 °F to 122 °F); and pollution degree 1 or 2.
To clean an instrument, use a cloth dampened with deionized water or mild, water-based cleaner. Clean the exterior of the instrument only. Do not apply cleaner directly to the instrument or allow liquids to enter or spill on the instrument. Products that consist of a circuit board with no case or chassis (e.g., a data acquisition board for installation into a computer) should never require cleaning if handled according to instructions. If the board becomes contaminated and operation is affected, the board should be returned to the factory for proper cleaning/servicing.

3
Description
20 A, 125 V American
15 A, 125 V American
16 A, 250 V Eurostyle cord
If cables with different cable ends are needed, you must provide those cables.
Line power requirements
Nominal line power : 100 V AC, 115 V AC, 220 V AC, 240 V AC (50 Hz, 60 Hz)
Short-circuit current rating : 5 kA
Power consumption : Rated at 2.4 kVA for the 2 kW power distribution unit
Heat generation : Quiescent heat of 1720 BTU (1815 kJ) to maximum heat of 8191 BTU (8642 kJ).
Severe personal injury or death due to electric shock or electrocution or equipment damage may occur if you do not have the correct circuit amperage.

Section 2: S530 site preparation and installation S530 Parametric Test System Administrative Guide
System power dissipation
The total power dissipated by the S530 depends on the type and number of instruments in the test system. The power distribution unit (PDU) limits the incoming power to these instruments. Though the
PDU ensures electrical safety and compliance to the required standards, it does not prevent the system from overheating.
When a Series 2600B instrument detects an excessive heat condition, the instrument turns the output off to minimize power dissipation. This safeguard prevents damage to individual Series 2600B instruments, but may result in test instability. For instance, if you continuously source more than 1 A from all the source-measure units (SMUs) for more than 100 seconds, it may trigger a temperature error in one or more of the Series 2600B instruments. However, an average output of less than 1 A for an indefinite period will not cause a temperature error.
For additional information about the Keithley Instruments Series 2600B SourceMeter ® instruments, refer to the documentation on the CD-ROM that was shipped with your purchase.
Operating environment conditions
The S530 will not perform within specifications if operated outside of the following environmental conditions.
Temperature : 23 °C ±5 °C (73.4 °F ±9 °F).
Operating humidity : 30% to 60% relative humidity, noncondensing, after a two-hour warm up time.
Vibration : High ambient vibration levels may require isolation pads or the repositioning of equipment.
Air quality : The S530 system is compatible for use in a Class 10 clean room.
Audible system noise : Decibel level is 65 dBA in optimal environmental conditions.
Airflow : The S530 system is configured for top to bottom airflow.
Altitude : Less than 2000 m (6,561 feet) above sea level.
Noise interference : To prevent electrical noise from interfering with measurements, the ambient AC magnetic field must not exceed 2 × 10 -3 G (2 × 10 -7 T).
Avoid locating the S530 next to plasma etchers, large motors, magnets, RF transmitters, equipment with flash lamps, and other potential sources of interference.
Position equipment to avoid routing signal and power cables near sources of electrical noise.
Triaxial connector handling and avoiding contamination
Keep source-measure triaxial cable connectors (if applicable) clean and free of any foreign contaminants. Do not touch the connector pins of the triaxial connectors. Contamination can cause current leakage in the source-measure signal paths to the device under test (DUT), which can significantly degrade the test results.
Do not touch any connector pins or the areas adjacent to the electrical contacts of the triaxial connectors; contamination will degrade the performance of the test system.
Cleaning : Using lint-free swabs, clean contaminated connectors with methanol or isopropyl alcohol, and then blow-dry them with nitrogen gas. After blowing dry, wait several minutes before using.

Lockout and tagout
For maximum safety while power is applied, always perform a lockout and tagout procedure. Remove power from the entire test system and discharge capacitors before connecting or disconnecting cables or any instrument, including the device under test. When you perform lockout and tagout procedures, make sure that you note all warning labels on the cabinet and instruments (see the following figure).
Figure 26: Hazardous warning label
Severe personal injury or death due to electric shock or electrocution may result if power is not removed before working inside the cabinet. Always perform the lockout and tagout procedure before opening the system cabinet. Also, never turn on the system until all connections and safety grounds are installed.
To remove system power:
1.
You must shut down the software and remove all power from the computer and the system (see
Shut down using ACS (on page 3-4) or
Shut down using KTE (on page 3-5)).
Before proceeding, you must make sure the power indicator on the front door is not illuminated. See the following figure for an example of what the indicator looks like when illuminated.
Figure 27: Verifying system power is off
2.
Place the breaker for the power distribution unit (PDU) in the OFF position. The location of the
PDU is at the back of the cabinet below the rear door.
3.
If you are working in the system cabinet, disconnect the system cabinet line cord from the AC line power receptacles.
S530-924-01 Rev. D / September 2017
2-19
Section 2: S530 site preparation and installation S530 Parametric Test System Administrative Guide
4.
Verify that all power has been removed and discharged from the system cabinet by switching the main power switch (on the front door of the cabinet) to the ON position and verify that the green light does not illuminate. If the light does not come on, the power is off. Turn the main power switch back to the OFF position.
5.
With the PDU breaker in the OFF position, lockout and tagout the system source power connection by locking a padlock through the hasp that surrounds the PDU breaker.
Installation and connections
The following installation and connection procedures should be performed by trained site installers who are familiar with the associated physical and electrical hazards. Also, you should never turn on the system until all connections and safety grounds are installed.
Position the system cabinet
The system cabinet contains the controller and instrumentation for the test system. The cabinet is on casters, which allows you to easily roll it on a hard floor surface. The two steering casters in the rear are swivel type, and the two casters at the front are in fixed positions.
To position the system cabinet:
1.
Carefully roll the system cabinet to its location next to the prober, allowing a minimum distance of
15 cm (6 in.) up to a maximum distance of 122 cm (48 in.). Allow approximately 60 cm (23.5 in.)
(nominal) of clearance between the cabinet and other instrumentation.
2.
Lock the casters by pushing down on the caster-locking mechanisms near the front-bottom of the cabinet.
3.
Adjust the height of the four legs so that the weight of the cabinet is on the legs and not on the
casters. Adjust the legs so that the cabinet is level and does not move (see System securement
Seismic securement is required for safety of the S530 system and for personnel. You must
bolt the legs adjacent to the four casters to the floor. See System securement (on page 2-23)
for details.
Floor plan
The following floor plan information is for the system cabinet only. Refer to the documentation for the prober or other test-fixture equipment to determine its floor space requirements.
The system cabinet requires a floor space of approximately 1.2 m × 2.1 m (4 ft × 7 ft). The following figures show a top view of the floor plan and the typical S530 system cabinet weight distribution and
center of gravity. System cabinet size and weight (on page 2-16) lists the dimensions and weight of
the system cabinet.

Safety interlocks
Failure to make sure that the safety interlock and safety shields and guards are properly installed and arranged as indicated will put personnel in severe danger. Severe personal injury or death due to electric shock or electrocution may result.
For the safety interlock to function properly, the DUT interlock sensor must be installed near the DUT connections and the interlock magnet must be installed on the safety shield. It must be set up so that when the magnet is near the switch (interlock closed) the operator cannot touch voltage-carrying conductors. If not properly installed, it will render the interlock inoperative and place personnel at severe risk.
For operator safety, the S530 has interlocks on both the front and back cabinet doors and at the device under test (DUT). Also, the optional probe card adapter (PCA) has an interlock that provides protection for connections to a prober.
If you open a cabinet door or open the DUT interlock while instruments are sourcing, the interlock activates and disconnects the hazardous voltage from the source-measure instruments, stopping any tests in progress.
An indicator on the front door of the S530 cabinet illuminates, and the ACS or KTE software immediately notifies you of the interlock activation.
Figure 41: Interlock indicator
Once the interlock has been activated, you must clear the cause of the interlock activation.
To clear the interlock activation:
1.
Follow the instructions on the computer.
2.
Make sure the front and rear doors are closed.
3.
Make sure the DUT interlock is properly set for safe operation.
4.
Close the DUT safety shield.
5.
The software will then need to recover before you can continue normal operation (you may need to rerun your tests).
S530-924-01 Rev. D / September 2017
3-7
Section 3: Equipment startup S530 Parametric Test System Administrative Guide
Prober safety
Hazardous voltages may be present on the probe card adapter, even after you disengage the interlock. Cables can retain charges after the interlock is disengaged, exposing you to live voltages that, if contacted, may cause personal injury or death. Reset the test equipment to put the probe card adapter in a safe state before touching the prober cables or any connected cables.
Never attempt to touch or change a probe card when tests are running. You must be absolutely certain that all tests have stopped before making contact with anything in the vicinity of the probe card adapter. Also, never run tests without a probe card installed.
Network information
System controller network interface: Ethernet port (10, 100, or 1000 Base-T capable using
RJ-45).
Supplied cables: One ethernet crossover cable (connects the computer to the tester).
One 10Base-T patch cable (connects to your network).
IP address is determined by you (the customer).
When setting up the computer for the S530 system, do not change the computer name. Software licenses are tied to the computer name. If you change the computer name, the Keithley Interactive
Test Tool (KITT), Keithley Test Execution Engine (KTXE), and other Keithley Test Environment
(KTE) tools will not work.

Hardware replacement
The information in this section is intended only for qualified service personnel. Because some of these procedures may cause exposure to hazardous voltages that could result in personal injury or death, service personnel must wear personal protective equipment (PPE) suitable for voltages greater than 40 V AC. Do not attempt to perform these procedures unless you are qualified to do so.
This section contains information about removal and installation of system cabinet components, and instructions for replacing components determined to be faulty.
Handling and cleaning precautions
Always grasp cards by the side edges and shields to avoid contamination, which will degrade the performance of the components. Do not touch the connectors, the board surfaces, or components.
On plugs and receptacles, do not touch areas adjacent to the electrical contacts.
Take care when handling or servicing to prevent possible contamination in high-impedance areas, which could degrade performance. Take the following precautions when servicing any system component:
Do not store or operate the system in an environment where dust could settle on the components.
Use dry nitrogen gas to clean dust off the components, if necessary.
Handle cards only by the side edges and shields.
Do not touch any board surfaces, components, or connectors.
Do not touch areas adjacent to electrical contacts.
Wear clean cotton gloves when servicing any component.
Section 4: Maintenance S530 Parametric Test System Administrative Guide
If necessary, make solder repairs on a circuit board using lead-free solder. Remove the solder from the work areas when the repair is complete. Use pure water and clean cotton swabs or a clean, soft brush to remove the solder. Take care not to spread the solder to other areas of the components. Once the solder is removed, swab only the repaired area with methanol or isopropyl alcohol, then blow-dry the board with dry nitrogen gas.
After cleaning, place the components in a 50 °C low-humidity environment for several minutes before use.
Special handling of static-sensitive devices
System components can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Wear a ground strap and attach the clip lead to the grounding bar in the test head or the system cabinet frame before working on the system. Assume all parts are static sensitive.
High-impedance devices are subject to possible static discharge damage because of the high-impedance levels involved. When handling such devices, assume all parts are static sensitive:
Static-sensitive components should be transported and handled only in containers designed to prevent or dissipate static buildup. Typically, these components are received in anti-static containers made of plastic or foam. Keep these parts in their original containers until ready for installation or use.
Remove the components from their protective containers only at a properly grounded workstation.
Also, ground yourself with an appropriate wrist strap while working with these components.
Handle the connectors only by their bodies. Do not touch the boards, pins, or terminals.
Any printed circuit board into which the device is to be inserted must first be grounded to the bench or table.
Use only anti-static type desoldering tools and grounded-tip soldering irons.
Electrical hazard tasks
Definitions of electrical hazard tasks (as defined in the SEMI S2-0715a standard) are listed in this section. For S530 systems, Type 3 electrical hazard tasks are typically performed.
For additional information about diagnostics, troubleshooting, or maintenance of specific Keithley instruments, refer to the documentation for that instrument for details before attempting to repair it.
Also, refer to the documentation on the CD-ROM that was shipped with your purchase.

LO patch panel
The S530 must have a single, direct connection between instrument lows and protective earth (safety ground). Keithley recommends that a high-quality, low-impedance connection between low and protective earth (safety ground) be made at the prober used with the S530. Because this is not always possible, the LO patch panel provides alternative connections. The LO patch panel provides:
A common reference point for all the instrument low-side connections
In 4-wire systems, a common connection for the sense low terminals of the source-measure units
(SMUs)
Connections from low to sense low using a 100 kΩ resistor to enable autosensing
Different ways to tie low to protective earth (safety ground)
The LO patch panel is configured by the Keithley Field Service Engineer (FSE).

Section 4: Maintenance S530 Parametric Test System Administrative Guide
Decommissioning an S530 test system
The S530 Parametric Test System does not contain any intentionally released substances, but may contain substances that are potentially hazardous to the environment if not properly recycled.
For example, systems produced before July 22, 2017 and shipped into the European Union may contain lead (Pb) as a part of the solder to connect electronic components and system interconnects.
A list of possible hazardous substances is in European Union Directive “Restricting the use of hazardous substances in electri cal and electronic equipment” (RoHS) Directive 2011/65/EU or later.
This list includes:
Lead (Pb)
Mercury (Hg)
Cadmium (Cd)
Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+)
Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)
Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)
Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP)
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP)
Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)
For more detailed information, see the European Union Directive.
To minimize environmental impact at system end of life, treat the system, cables and connections, and all subassemblies as waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) category 9. Reference the European Union Directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE Directive
2012/19/EU or later).
Follow these directives to minimize environmental impact at any location in the world. Always follow all local, state, and country environmental laws; these take priority over other directives.
Take all product and subassemblies to a reputable electronics recycle company for proper recycling.
Several approved recyclers are identified on the Tektronix website at www.tek.com
( www.tek.com
).
Any cleaning solutions used during the life of the system (such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA)) should be disposed of separately and properly.
The S530 system may be used with other equipment such as automatic probers and third-party probe card adapters. Tektronix is not in control of these products and the original equipment manufacturer should always be contacted for proper recycling procedures.

Switching
The following components provide the switching capabilities of the S530.
Model 707B Switch Matrix Mainframe
The 707B Semiconductor Switch Matrix Mainframe is a programmable switch for connecting signal paths in a matrix structure. The six-slot mainframe accepts any combination of compatible plug-in matrix cards. Model 7530, Model 7072-HV, and Model 707-HVD matrix cards are used in the 707B in
S530 systems.
Figure 46: 707B Semiconductor Switch Matrix Mainframe

Model 7530 High-Speed Low-Current 8 × 12 Matrix Card
Low-current systems use the 7530 8 × 12 matrix card to support up to 60-pin connections to the probe card adaptor (PCA).
Model 7072-HV High-Voltage Semiconductor Matrix Card
High-voltage systems use the 7072-HV matrix card to support up to 24-pin connections to the probe card adaptor (PCA).
This card is not available for high-voltage systems with two 707B Semiconductor Switch Matrix
Mainframes. This system configuration uses two 7072-HVD matrix cards.
Model 7072-HVD High-Voltage Semiconductor Matrix Card
High-voltage systems may also use 7072-HVD high-voltage matrix cards to support up to 60 pin connections to the probe card adaptor (PCA). The 7072-HVD is identical to the 7072-HV card, except for additional circuitry designed to automatically discharge energy that may be accumulated in the system cables and PCA under certain test conditions.

Sourcing and measuring
The following instruments provide S530 source-measure capabilities
Model 2636B System SourceMeter Instrument
The 2636B Dual-Channel System SourceMeter ® Instrument is a 6-1/2 digit, two-channel source-measure unit (SMU) that simultaneously sources and measures voltage and current. You can have up to six 2636B SMUs in the S530 system.
Figure 47: 2636B System SourceMeter Instrument
Features include:
Maximum current source-measure range: 10 A (pulsed)
Maximum voltage source-measure range: 200 V
Measurement resolution: 0.1 fA current, 100 nV voltage
Power: 200 W
Optional instrumentation
Keithley Test Environment (KTE) version 5.7.0 supports several optional instruments:
DMM7510 7½ Digit Graphical Sampling Multimeter
4220-PGU pulse card
4200-SCP2HR card (used for ring oscillator measurement)
The following diagrams show examples of how these instruments can be connected to the matrix.
The cards and columns of each instrument connection shown in the following diagrams may differ from your actual system. The flexibility of the S530 configuration allows for various numbers and combinations of instruments. Attempting to show examples of every possible scenario would be prohibitive.
For high-voltage systems with two 707B switch matrices, the high-voltage connections for the second matrix (not shown) are identical to the ones in the diagrams in this manual.
You will see graphics of the following examples:
