Meet Our Proprietary, Exclusive Thermal Chucks

 

The Micromanipulator Company is proud of the fact that the semiconductor industry has trusted us for 65 years to design, engineer and manufacture all of the tools they count on. Our extensive history and expertise allows us to be a huge asset in our customers’ success today; as we look forward to addressing tomorrow’s semiconductor testing needs for many years to come.  

So why buy a Micromanipulator thermal chuck?  Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that we have been manufacturing thermal chuck systems for more than 40-years!  In fact our background includes not only pioneering the integration of thermal chucks with probe stations, but we continue to lead the industry with the broadest available temperature range and the most advanced, non-operator dependent performance available on the market today. 

Features of the Micromanipulator H1000 Thermal System include the best planarity at temperature, a sputter platinum surface, and the best isolation at temperature.  Configurations include Coaxial, Triaxial, and High Power.  It is host programmable and offers probe station or stand-alone capabilities.  The H1000 is ambient to:  400°C;   0° to 400° C;   -65° to 400° C.

Highlights also include fast ramp rates, and a cooled radiator that improves safety and stage integration.  Our thermal chucks are upgradeable as your needs change and support 150 to 300 mm wafers in coaxial or triaxial configurations.  Choose an AC heating supply for fast heating when chuck noise in the femtoamp level is not needed, or a DC heating supply to achieve the very lowest level measurements.  In addition there are three cooling options.  The most economical is the C1000 simple heat exchanger (HE) cooling for high (above ambient) testing and offers rapid cool down of the chuck after a heat cycle is finished. The C1000 zero degree option is for testing to zero degrees C.  The third choice is the HC1000 high performance cooling system to test at temperatures down to -65 degrees C.

While headquartered in Carson City, Nevada, our products are readily available to customers across the globe.  We have sale centers located throughout the USA, Canada and Mexico as well as Asia, Europe, the Middle East and South America.  Therefore regardless of your location, we have area sales reps available to help you purchase our high-quality products.  Contact us to learn more.  

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 semi-conductor industry depends on. Our company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to our customers’ satisfaction. Check out our website for more details on our thermal chucks, probe stations, probe holders & tips, and probe positioners.        

Our Manual Probe Stations Offer VALUE and RELIABILITY

 

The Micromanipulator Company is known throughout the world for designing and manufacturing state-of-the-art analytical tools for the semiconductor industry including the 2210-LS Application Board / Probe Station and the VERSA Modular Probe System.  We are also proud of our excellent line of semiautomatics, motorized and manual probe stations.   

In terms of our manual models, they include the 8060, 4060, and 450PM, and offer customers both the best price-performance as well as cost-of-ownership.  They each start with the precise, dependable mechanics the Micromanipulator brand is built on, and gives users an exceptional value with stable, reliable probing performances and flexible designs.  

For example, the 8060 offers the highest performance available in a 6 – 8” (150 – 200mm) manual analytical probe station on the market today.  Designed for ease of use, the 8060 is suitable for demanding applications such as high and low temperature probing, very low current and voltage probing, and sub-micron target probing to the limits of visible optics.  When needed, the 8060 can be configured with an integrated environment that supports dark, shielded or dry probing.  

Once you settle on a probe station, we make it easy to outfit it with quality accessories and consumables that best meet your personal preference, measurement equipment interface requirements, application demands, and budget.  Our line of probe holders includes active; high frequency; Kelvin; and varying sizes of integrated probe holders along with male coaxial and triaxial connectors to connect to measurement instruments.  Probe positioners / manipulators, vibration isolation tables, camera systems, microscopes, light and noise shields, and DC and RF measurement hardware are some of our other accessories.   

We invite you to visit our website for detailed descriptions of all of our probe stations as well as much more information regarding our accessories.  If you need further guidance, our talented engineers are more than happy to answer questions and can help put together a system to meet your needs.    

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.  Visit our website for more info on how to outfit your probe station with a thermal chuck, probe holder, probe positioner and other accessories to enhance performance.
