Abstract

AIM-Lab (Automated Internet Measurement Laboratory), an Internet-based remote laboratory on semiconductor device characterization, is used in the distance learning programs at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Specifically, we apply AIM-Lab in first year graduate/senior courses on semiconductor device modeling. We report improvements on the AIM-Lab using low-cost computer boards for data acquisition
