Chucks for Any Application, Temperature Range and Performance Requirements

Along with a whole line of popular probe stations, The Micromanipulator Company also develops, engineers, and manufactures high-quality accessories and consumables that meet the semi-conductor industry’s every need.  This includes being one of the first companies to design and manufacture both thermal and non-thermal chucks that seamlessly integrate with our probe stations to address a variety of testing needs.  

One example of Micromanipulator’s leading-edge tools are our thermal chucks that offer the broadest temperature ranges and most advanced non-operator dependent performance in the industry.  Our exclusive H1000 Hot Chuck system offers configurations for: 

• Coaxial

• Triaxial

• High Power

• Ambient to 400°C

• 0° to 400° C

• -65° to 400° C

• Probe station or stand alone

• Host programmable

In addition the H1000 system has the best planarity at temperature and a sputter platinum surface that provides superior electrical conductivity to sample backsides.  This means thermal expansion isn’t an issue as the sputtered surface mimic’s the base material.  Moreover the base has a 2X stronger bond than traditional plating and is 2Xs more planar than traditional plating. Other features include the best isolation at temperature and fast ramp rate.  With field upgradeable configurations, it allows you to get what you need now and upgrade later.  In addition the exclusive high planarity, low expansion H1000 is available for all Micromanipulator probe stations and has versions for probing up to 300mm wafers.  

Along with cost-effective chucks, our other smartly-designed accessories include probe positioners, probe holders, and tips to suit your testing needs and budget.  There is a reason why our customers turn to Micromanipulator time and time for trusted solutions.  We invite you to visit our website for more information regarding industry-leading tools and welcome any questions you may have regarding our products or your application.  

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 the company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to customers’ satisfaction.  Please contact us for more information on our reliable, precision engineered chucks, probe stations, probe positioners and more.
