Meet the Highest Performance Manual 150mm-200mm Wafer Prober on the Market

 At The Micromanipulator Company, we carry a full-line of reliable, precise probe stations that range from the world’s most versatile true system level prober with above and below ambient temperature capabilities to the Mechatronics ACE that offers basic functionality at a low cost.  Our exceptional selection includes semi-automatic, motorized, and manual probers that are designed to meet virtually any application need.  

One example of our expertise is the Model 8030 200mm manual probe station.  As the highest manual performance on the market, it is the perfect combination of efficient use with a consistent, accurate electrical and mechanical performance.  In fact the 6-8” model has gained recognition across the globe for ease of use in demanding applications including very low current and voltage probing, high and low temperature probing, and sub-micron target probing to the limits of visible optics.    


We also give you plenty of choices to outfit the 8060 to your application needs and personal preferences with our full line of accessories and consumables including a left/right neutral (all controls are at the rear) probe positioner with a vacuum or magnetic base.  We also have an extensive inventory of probe holders such as the malleable Model 72 Series with a 1-4 inch shaft and set screw probe tip holder as well as coaxial, triaxial, high power and Kelvin models.   In addition we have a large selection of quality probe tips.  


Another exclusive product from Micromanipulator is the H1000 series thermal chuck, which leads the wafer probing industry with the best planarity, lowest noise, and lowest cost of ownership.  At Micromanipulator, we are known for our many industry’s “firsts” including the invention of analytical probing way back in 1956.  Please visit our website for more information.  


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 learn more about our wide range of probe stations and accessories such as probe holders, tips, thermal chucks and probe positioners.

Micromanipulator's 3mm Semi-automatic Probers

 The Micromanipulator’s high performance 300mm, semi-automatic P300A and P300L probe stations offer the industry’s best low current, sub-micron & temperature performances along with a standard coaxial chuck that is upgradable to a thermal and triaxial chuck.   Features include leadscrew – leadnut stage and platen drives; and a large magnetic stainless steel platen with plenty of room for multiple manipulators and/or a probe card as well as a removable wedge for easy loading and sample access.  The high stability microscope bridge supports all high resolution, long-working distance microscopes.  

In addition programmable axes are also controllable via our netProbe7 software that is included and offers users robust and intuitive navigation along with an easy-to-install setup.  It includes Setup modules, extensive GUI featuring Navigation, Wafer Map, Sub-die and Video applications and Router app for GPIB connectivity to provide users with full functionality and a whole range of high level features.  


The Navigator module gives users complete inter-active navigation control of stage, platen, theta alignment, pattern recognition and microscope.  The Wafer Map module offers programming as well as step and repeat functions.  Also the prober’s motorized controls are conveniently placed at the front of the station to allow simple manual control of the semi-automatic station whenever programmability is not needed. Moreover if your application requirements change, we can move you into a fully automatic probe station if needed.


With the P300A and P300L, you will get drivers for popular testers from companies such as Keysight, Keithley, and LabVIEW.  The probers are configurable for DE, R, Microwave, and high power applications.  They may also be configured with a local dry / shielded / dark environment “Top Hat” for low level or low temperature, frost free probing.  In addition three temperature ranges are supported:


  • Ambient (room temperature) to 300C 

  • 0C to 300C

  • -55C to 300C


Please visit our website for more information on our semi-automatics as well as our manual and motorized models.  We pride ourselves on offering tools for virtually any application or budget and our accessories include probe positioners, thermal chucks, probe holders and more.  We look 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 invite you to contact us to learn more about our wide range of probe stations as well as thermal chucks, probe holders and tips, probe positioners and more.
