The goal of the Micromanipulator
Company is to provide the semiconductor industry with the cutting-edge tools they
need to develop the products of the future.
Our high-quality products allow our customers to focus on the data, not
on the performance of the prober.
In addition we provide specifications
and details regarding what type of applications our products are best suited
for as well as how to get the most out of our tools. One important resource is our Application
Notes that discuss in detail a myriad of common application problems
encountered by users along with information on how to most effectively use
Micromanipulator’s products.
A prime example is our Application
Note titled; Proven Techniques for
Thermal Probing that provides expert recommendations for customers that use
a hot stage for elevated temperature probing or CV Measurement. A
common problem of this type of probing is the uncontrolled movement that can cause
the probe to slide or jump off its contact resulting in a movement of up to one
mil at any location on a six or eight-inch wafer. Along with thoroughly discussing and analyzing
the causes and effects of these kinds of problems, we offer effective equipment
solutions.
In addition to exploring the problem
of movement of a device under the probe
and the probe point due to thermal expansion, we give you solutions for
maintaining probe contact during temperature stressing of wafers. This includes discussing the merits of
several of our probe holders and the advantages of each one. Our primary advice is “a little technique can
go a long way” when it comes to probing all forms of small geometries, and that
with a little experimenting, operators will find the most suitable probing
angle and/ or technique.
We encourage you to visit our website
and read through our complete hot stage probing techniques. Finally if you still have questions, please
give us a call as we not only manufacture our probe stations, accessories, and
consumables, but we design and engineer them to meet
our customers’ needs.
Micromanipulator not only invented
analytical probing in 1956 but we reliably deliver the tools and life cycle
support the semiconductor industry depends on. Part of our company’s philosophy and what
drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to customer satisfaction. Along
with offering one of the best selections of probe stations on the market today,
we also have all of the consumables, accessories and on-site support you need.
