At nanoscale dimensions, materials can exhibit entirely new properties associated with quantum physical phenomena. These properties can be exploited for applications in electronics, materials, biotechnology, alternative energy sources, and many other disciplines. Nanotechnology research often requires measuring very small currents and voltages— measurements that are typically far from trivial. This presentation offers an overview of the challenges associated with measurements of nanoscale devices and how measurements can be made successfully by controlling a variety of sources of error.

This presentation offers a variety of technical insights:

• Typical electrical measurements and connections made in nanotechnology research.
• Measurement techniques required for measuring low currents, low resistances, and high resistances on nanoscale materials and electronics.
• Sources of error that affect measurements of nanomaterials and electronics.
• Measurement solutions that can be used in nanoscale applications.
