Innovative Application Board Probe Station

Designed with above and below ambient temperature capabilities, Micromanipulator’s 2210-LS system level probe station is our newest offering in an extensive line-up of high-quality probe stations.  Up until the development of the 2210-LS, most application boards were not appropriate for in-circuit e-test using traditional mechanical probing techniques.  Now however, by combining a traditional wafer probe to the device exercising capabilities of an application board, the 2210-LS system is designed to assist development teams working with post tape-out product spins. 

 

The new system offers extensive application coverage including basic DC, to E and K-Band analysis, and incorporating application boards for system level testing significantly expedites the failure analysis operation.  The 2210-LS also offers the benefit of comprehensive accessory support and flexible setups as well as temperature and ambient versions that all go into making it the perfect choice for many applications. 

 

Loaded with features such as an open, stable platform, it allows for high magnification sample viewing and probing.  In addition we have a 30” x 36” optical vibration isolation table that accommodates application boards measuring approximately 26” square, and two independently moveable stainless steel platens that accommodate up to 10 individual probe positioners. 

 

The system provides users with an opportunity to probe at the application board block or at system level while exercising their chip in mission mode.  This makes it easy to trace and analyze issues that manifest exclusively in the actual end application environment such as power, race conditions and clock domain. 

  

At Micromanipulator, we also design a range of excellent options for the system level probe station including removable ambient and thermal chucks for wafer level probing needs. Other options include stereo zoom and compound microscopes, a choice of CCD and video monitors and a shroud enclosure for light shielding.  See our website for more details on our revolutionary 2210-LS application board probe station.   

 

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.  We invite you to contact us to find out more about our wide range of probe stations, accessories and consumables.
