Purchase a Probe Station from a Company with a History in the Industry!

Wafer Probes

The Micromanipulator name is known throughout the world for designing, engineering and manufacturing reliable and highly innovative semiconductor testing needs.  This is the reason our customers remain loyal to our company and our products and have kept us an industry leader for many, many years. 

Not only was our company started way back in 1956 but our products have grown along with the industry.  What were once belt-driven stages have now been developed into high resolution lead screw / lead nut designs that offer the best positioning resolution available on the market today.  We have also been around to see the evolution of microscopes grow from magnifications of just a few hundreds to our tools of today that support microscope magnifications of more than 2000X.  

The Micromanipulator team was there to pioneer the integration of thermal chucks with probe stations; and we still continue to lead the field by offering the broadest temperature range on the market today.  We also are proud to provide our customers with the most advanced, non-operator dependent performance available anywhere.   

However in spite of all of our accomplishments throughout the years, we have never lost sight of the fact that our customers’ success is the only metric by which we measure our own success.  This philosophy is the heart of Micromanipulator and core to our corporate values and is what drives our business.  

Please see our website for more information regarding the Micromanipulator Company and our two outstanding brands.  Leading the line-up is our high performance, efficient Micromanipulator analytical probe stations and accessories designed for both wafer level and decapsulated packaged part probing.  Our budget-friendly Mechatronics, while only a few years old, has quickly become a popular choice for system users requiring reliable, economical tools that are easy to use and easy to learn.

Micromanipulator not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but we remain the leading name in the field.  As such we reliably deliver the tools and life cycle support the semiconductor industry depends on. As part of our company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to customers’ satisfaction.  We invite you to contact us to find out more about our wide range of probe stations, accessories and consumables.

High-quality Probe Station for Hot/Cold Applications

Manual Probe Station 

At the Micromanipulator Company, we have always prided ourselves on providing customers with the best tools for virtually any application and that includes probe stations for hot/cold applications.  In fact our inventory includes eight, high-quality models designed for the job starting from our premium 2210-LS Application Board Probe Station capable of probing wafers up to 300mm to our best value, the P200L Semi-Automatic Probe Station.   

Configurable from -65C to 400C, the high-performance, cost-effective Model P200L is a 200mm semiautomatic wafer prober that includes standard features such as single-point ground and integrated thermal chuck plumbing. Along with affordability, the P200L is built for reliability and precision, and has leadscrew – leadnut stage and platen drives as well as a stainless steel platen with a removable front wedge.  It also offers a high stability microscope bridge, which supports all high resolution long-working distance microscopes. It can be incrementally upgraded and is probe card compatible.

In addition to being configurable for DC, RF, Microwave, and High Power applications, the P200L offers customizable options for two popular host control methods.  Choices include: direct to the standard non-Windows based controller, or direct to the optional NetProbe 7 software, which unleashes the power of an included wafer map, integrated video, theta alignment, sub-die, and pattern recognition.  You also have a choice of drivers available from popular testers companies such as Keysight, Keithley, and LabVIEW.  

Our P300L 300mm semiautomatic wafer prober has most of the same features and is configurable from -55C to 300C. It too is low current ready, and built with your application and budget in mind.   To learn more about all of our hot/cold probing options, please visit our website. Contact us if you have any questions.  

At Micromanipulator, we not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but are still the top name in the field.  As such we reliably deliver the tools and life cycle support the semiconductor industry depends on.
