The Tektronix 370 is a 300 series oscilloscope sold under the Sony-Tektronix name. The Tektronix 370 was marketed as lightweight and totally portable. The 300 series, to which the Tektronix 370 belongs, replaced the model 321/321A oscilloscopes.[1]

What it is

The Tektronix 370 is a programmable curve tracer.[2][3]

The Tektronix 370 manual has a first edition date of June 1986 and a last revised date of August 1987.[3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A curve tracer applies controlled electrical stimuli to a device under test and displays the resulting current-voltage behavior so that device characteristics can be evaluated.

A programmable curve tracer adds automatic control of the test sequence and measurement conditions, which supports repeatable evaluation of semiconductor and other electronic components.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Tektronix 370 belongs in electrical characterization and debug rather than in wafer fabrication or lithography.

A curve tracer is commonly used after device formation and packaging, when a component can be probed or connected for parametric verification and fault isolation.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Curve tracers are used for semiconductor device characterization, transistor testing, and general electronic component analysis.

A programmable curve tracer is suitable for checking device families, comparing transfer and output characteristics, and examining abnormal conduction behavior.

  • No publicly documented variants, configuration options, or revision breakpoints of the 370 are on record.

    Answerable by: an OEM product catalog or an engineer who ordered or specified the tool

  • The control-system platform and OS era of the 370 are not on record.

    Answerable by: an engineer who operated it or OEM installation records

  • No publicly documented failure modes or field errata for the 370 are on record.

    Answerable by: a field service engineer, process engineer, or maintenance technician

  • The process node or technology generation of the 370 is not on record.

    Answerable by: an OEM datasheet or a fab qualification report
