Meet the World’s Most Versatile Modular Probe System

Wafer Probe Station
The Micromanipulator Company has one of the most comprehensive selections of analytical probing hardware on the market today including the world’s most versatile probe system.  Along with Micromanipulator’s Model 2210-LS probe station, which combines a traditional wafer probe to the device exercising capabilities of the application board, we now have introduced the every device capable VERSA Modular Probe System. 

Designed for wafer and individual die probing up to 300mm, the VERSA is the lowest cost, highest value hot/cold probe station on the market today and nothing comes even close.  It can test anything you can place in an oven while still using a chuck.  Moreover it is the only platform available for temperature testing of wafers, wafer pieces, packaged parts, and complete system level boards, along with very fast temperature ramp rates! 

It addition the above and below ambient capable (frost free) VERSA’s open platform and flexible device placement allows for managing cabling, holding needs and other setup requirement extremely efficiently.  In addition to supporting both very large and small samples easily, the optical performance and overall mechanical stability gives users the ability to probe the smallest devices, including small FIB pads. 

Another feature of the VERSA is its stage area that offers an ambient 26” x 26” testing area, a standard 10” x 10” – 18” x 18” thermal chamber and a 200mm – 300mm chuck standard.  This gives users enough space to setup several devices simultaneously.  You will also appreciate the built-in vibration isolation that supports high magnification imaging and probing of the smallest features. 
The versatility of Micromanipulator’s VERSA has meant it has quickly become the tool of choice in every lab around the world.  For more information on the prober system, please visit our website.  Our engineers are available for an online chat and can answers any questions you may have or help you put together a system designed for your specific needs.   

At Micromanipulator we not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but remain the leading name in the field.  As such we reliably deliver the tools and life cycle support the semiconductor industry depends on.  Part of the company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to our customers’ satisfaction.  Contact us to learn more about our exceptional line of probe stations and accessories.
