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.
