I have recently purchased an 895 LCR meter from BK PRECISION. I need to use this equipment to measure the capacitance of my dielectric film. However, I don’t know whether the way I conduct the test is in a proper way or wrong way. I would like to know how to measure the capacitance value of thin film using the equipment mentioned above. I can see the supplier provides two different types of test fixtures and a brass shorting bar. However, I am not sure which one to use.
I have run the test on a few of my dielectric film capacitance measurements. Yet, whenever I connect the instrument with the dielectric film, the measurement keeps fluctuating and not stagnant. Do you know if this is normal?
