The World’s Most Popular 150/200mm Probe Station of Choice

The Micromanipulator Company is the leading manufacturer of analytical tools for the semiconductor industry.  With a broad range of probe stations that include system level probers, semi-automatics, manuals, and motorized models, we have the most precise, reliable products for every system user and to meet the demands of virtually every testing application. 

One of our models, the 8060 offers the highest performance available in a 6 – 8” (150 – 200mm) manual analytical probers.  Offering ease of use, the 8060 combines the value of efficacy with the confidence of a consistent and accurate electrical and mechanical performance.   It is ideal for very low current and voltage probing, high and low temperature probing, and sub-micron target probing to the limits of visible optics. 

The probe station can be configured with an integrated environment including supporting dark - shielded – dry probing as well as ambient (room temperature) probing to 400C; 0C to 400C; and -65C to 400C.  When you combine all of the features and the price-performance value of the model 8060, it has resulted in it being the probe station of choice for many of the finest analytical test professionals around the world.

Along with being hot and cold chuck compatible (field upgradeable), we offer quality accessories such as probe card holders, manipulators, unique probe holders, and camera systems.  We additionally have a light tight enclosure that is integrated with a vibration isolated table (LTEs).  
With its low cost of ownership and price-performance value, high efficiency features, and rugged reliability, we believe the 8060 to be a truly cost-effective answer for high performance analytical probing.  Please visit our website for more information about this outstanding wafer probe as well as our other models. Please give us a call if you have further questions, we are happy to help.   

Micromanipulator not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but we are the leading name in the field and reliably deliver the tools and life cycle support the semiconductor industry depends on. Our company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to our customers’ satisfaction.

A Little Care Will Help Extend the Life of Your Probe Holders & Tips

At The Micromanipulator Company, we based our success on that of our customers, and in fact, it is what drives our business.  Along with offering quality tools for every budget, we provide our customers with information that helps protect their investments.  Thus we not only sell the finest selection of probe tips and probe holders but also offer advice to help care for these products. After all, well-maintained equipment typically performs better as well as lasts longer. 

For easy-to-follow suggestions regarding product care, our website has a Probe Tips and Probe Holders Reference Manual that goes over some of the various techniques for cleaning and protecting your products.  Please note that the way you protect your tips against corrosion and their cleaning procedures differ depending on the material of your probe tips and holders.  

To clean your probe holder, we recommend applying a methanol solution to the tip of the holder with a swab or other suitable applicator, but do not soak the holder in the solution.  Once you have applied the methanol, you will need to bake the shank at 200o F-300o F for a minimum of 6 hours.  

To remove deposits from Tungsten, Tungsten Carbide, and Nickel tips as well as HCT and Custom tips coated with platinum, we recommend rinsing them in deionized water and then using compressed air to dry the excess water.  If you want to remove oxide deposits, dip the probe tip into a 1.0 solution of normal sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for a few seconds. Again rinse the tip with deionized water and dry with compressed air.  

Probe tips and probe holders should be kept sealed in the original shipping box and stored in a dry place until needed.  Once the box is opened, be sure to keep the small desiccator package found in the bottom of the box as it will help keep products dry.  

Micromanipulator’s Probe Tips and Probe Holders Reference Manual has much more on keeping tips and probe holders in optimal condition as well as detailed information on the best uses for them.  Please see our website to browse through our wide assortment of quality probe holders and probe tips, of which many can now be ordered online. 

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. A key part of our company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to customers’ satisfaction.  Please contact us to learn more about our wide range of wafer probe stations and accessories.
