4 Point Stage Station inside Faraday Cage:

• A cupper mesh faraday cage (Freestanding Faraday)
• Enclosure, W×D×H 128 x 35 x 110 cm, Thorlabs) is placed on a vibration free (air cushion) table. The Faraday cage is shielding from Electromagnetic/Electrostatic Interference (Shielding: 55 dB at 10 MHz)
• 4x micropositioner (Micropositioner, Linear Motion, 80 TPI travel 12mm-12mm-12mm
• Magnet (On/Off Base) with Triaxial cables are used to contact the Device Under Test (DUT)

The setup is used to assess material sheet resistance or potential fluctuations and to measure intrinsic noise levels of novel materials

Equipment for electrical characterization

2x custom made transistor characterisation setups. This setup is able to measure 16 transistors in parallel applying a common gate voltage. The setup is made of a current-to-voltage converter and two different filters, a Low pass filter (LPF, ≈ 0–0.16 Hz) for the DC component of the signal and  a band-pass filtered band (BPF, 0.16 Hz10 kHz)  for the AC-component of the signal (each filters with its respective gain, to avoid saturation)

A custom built characterization setup is available to characterize the stationary and AC (Bode and noise spectrum) response of up to 8×8 GFET arrays. An 8 channel multiplexer is used to switch among the 8 rows of the array at the desired speed. Effective switching frequencies of up to at least 9.6kHz can be achieved, allowing to simultaneously characterize the dynamic response of the GFETs at up to 600Hz. This setup has also been used for the operation of actively multiplexed graphene solution-gated FET arrays in-vivo, for the recording of neural activity in the rat cortex (Schäfer et. al. 2D Materials 2020).

The Open Ephys acquisition board provides an interface between a computer and up to 512 channels of neural data
