Our Website Offers Lots of Resources Including Informative Application Notes

 Picture

The Micromanipulator Company brings decades of experience to the designing, engineering and manufacturing of a wide range of state-of-the-art tools.  Our team is also just as committed to providing real solutions and helpful tips to common problems encountered by our customers to ensure their success in effectively using the products.  One example of the excellent resources available on our website is our Application Notes that include helpful tips and suggestions for: 

  • CV Probing
  • Identifying Low Current Probing Problems
  • LCR Measurements With 4284A
  • Low Current Probing Basics
  • LTE and Vibration Isolation Table Integration
  • Proven Techniques for Thermal Probing   

You will find inside our “Identifying Low Current Probing Problems” Application Note the reassurance that when you use the right tools and the proper setup, analytical probing at very low (femtoamp) current levels can be achieved reliably and without anxiety.  We explain how common equipment and setup problems can show up as characteristic distortions as well as create problem “signatures” with the data.  We also believe that many of the problems users encounter stem from the fact that up to now there has been very little information available on how to properly evaluate equipment as well as how to setup the probing application.  Because of this, it has led to a misunderstanding of the effect this has on low current probing, and confusion in how to troubleshooting the problem.  

Please visit our website to read through our various Application Notes for troubleshooting suggestions, tips, and useful information to help you succeed.  If you have specific questions about your application, please contact us to talk to one of our knowledgeable engineers.  While on our website, browse through our large inventory of probe stations, thermal chucks, probe tips, probe positioners/manipulators, and more.  

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 one of the best selections of probe stations on the market today, we have probe positioners, probe tips and holders, chucks and more.

The Micromanipulator Company has a wide assortment of reliable, accurate analytical probing tools available to customers across the globe.  For the most efficient, timely service, our online store offers many of Micromanipulator’s most sought after products including coaxial, triaxial and Kelvin (single point dual wire) probe holders, high frequency probe positioners, probe tips, and more.  If you are looking for basic functionality as well as low cost, check out our Mechatronics ACE probe stations that can also be purchased at our online store.  

Our broad selection of over 90 probe tips means you are sure to find what you need as they are designed for low resistance, high power, low current, high frequency, durability, and high or low temperature contact optimization.  So whether your application demands high volume production support, a high value critical FA return, or somewhere in between, we have what you need. One example is the 7G Series Customizable Probe Tips, which are available online and sold in a box of 10.  Designed for general purpose probing, with a bendable shank and tip, it is just like the 7B but with a shorter overall length.  The 7B Tungsten, also designed for general purpose probing, offers lots of versatility such as gold plating and a choice of larger tip radiuses.  

The Micromanipulator’s 72 Series Probe Holder is another example of the various customized options of our quality tools.  The malleable probe holder has a 1-4 inch shaft and a set screw probe tip holder available at our online store.  Moreover if you need another length, just give us a call or email us.  We also offer a highly versatile probe positioner with our 450 / 550 Series High or Low Profile Manipulators that has left or right hand versions and a choice of vacuum or magnetic base.  

For a complete list of products, please visit our website.  You will find we have an Online Chat service available during business hours and all of our contact information.  We look forward to helping you find the best tools for your needs.  

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

We Offer a Choice of Quality Probe Stations for Probing 300mm Wafers

 Picture

Whether your application requires the versatility of the world’s most advanced semiautomatic wafer prober, or you prefer the high performance and full capability of a cost-effective semi-automatic probe station, The Micromanipulator Company has a 300mm model for you. We also have selections for companies that need to probe whole 300mm wafers, but don’t require a semiautomatic probe station for large volume tests.     

If you need advanced options and versatility, we recommend taking a look at the 2210-LS Application Board Probe Station that is designed for <200mm, 200mm, and 300mm wafer probing, and system level/packaged part.  With a manual system control, the 2210 probes decapsulated IC’s, wafers, and large boards, all at temperature and is -40C to 125C configurable.  

If you are looking for a great value in a semiautomatic, the Micromanipulator P300L is built with your application and budget in mind and can be incrementally upgraded as needed.  Thus while the P300L comes standard with a coaxial chuck, it is thermal and triaxial chuck upgradable.  It also offers a wide range of testing applications and reliability as well as precision.

For applications that require a high-performance probe station, Micromanipulator’s P300A Semi-automatic fits the bill.  Designed for low current and sub-micron applications, the P300A is the most stable, intuitive, and space efficient 3mm probe station on the market.  It comes with a comprehensive software suite, a standard coaxial chuck (thermal & triaxial chuck upgradeable) and features a single-point ground and dry/dark environment.

Our P300J Motorized Manual Probe Station not only offers the highest performance but is the most stable, intuitive, and space efficient manual 300mm analytical probe station on the market today.  Designed for low current, sub-micron positioning applications, it features a fA current resolution; sub-micron motorized positioning, and a standard coaxial chuck (thermal & triaxial chuck upgradable).  

Please visit our website for the probe stations’ full technical specifications.  Also we offer an Online Chat service available for immediate help during business hours or give us a call or email.  Our team looks forward to hearing from you.  

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 look forward to helping you build a system complete with a probe positioner; chuck; probe holder; and other accessories to meet your needs.
