Quality Products that Support C-V Measurements

At Micromanipulator we brings decades of experience to manufacturing reliable, high performing probe stations for a wide range of applications including supporting semi-conductor professionals who perform Capacitance-Voltage (C-V) measurement since 1970.  CV is a technique where the voltage is varied to measure the capacitance.

It is generally used to detect mobile ion contamination in oxide, and in particular very mobile sodium ion; and the technique requires varying the voltage in order to measure the capacitance.  A challenge of C-V measurement has been to design a device that not only passes manufacturers’ testing in a controlled environment but one that can also handle the migration of sodium ions within the device while in the field.  We know the failure to achieve this causes a multitude of problems including changing the parameters of the electrical performance, affecting the timing, and source and sink currents as well as the threshold voltages. 

Thus the team at Micromanipulator has been addressing these problems for almost 50 years and offers our customers tools specifically designed to obtain quality test results.  Our turnkey solution starts with several probe stations that provide the foundation for a highly accurate test environment for C-V measurements. C-V operators will also be interested in our exclusive H1000 series thermal wafer chuck, which leads the industry for the best planarity, lowest noise, and lowest cost of ownership.  The H1000 has the ability to support wafer testing from temperature ranges of –65 degrees C to 400 degrees C, and protects the station from the heat that is radiated down the body. 

If you perform C-V measurements, take a look at our LTE (light tight enclosure), which rests on the anti-vibration isolation table and completely encompasses the test station or the integrated shielded environment.  Please contact your local representative or the team at Micromanipulator directly for additional information on our quality C-V solutions.

At Micromanipulator, we not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but are still the top name in the field.  As such we reliably deliver the tools and life cycle support the semiconductor industry depends on. A key part of our company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to customers’ satisfaction.  Please contact us to learn more about our wide range of wafer probe stations and accessories.

Common Setup & Equipment Problems in Low Current Probing

The Micromanipulator Company offers solutions and tips to common problems encountered by system users as a way to help them use their tools most effectively. In our Application Note called, “Identifying Low Current Probing Problems,” we explain common equipment and setup problems encountered in low current probing applications that show up as characteristic distortions and problem “signatures” with the data. (We also offer more tips and info in our “Basics of Low Current Probing” Application Note)

We want customers to know that by using the right tools and proper setup, analytical probing at very low (femtoamp) current levels can reliably be achieved without anxiety. Many of the problems users encounter stem from the fact that there has been very little information available up to now on how to properly evaluate equipment as well as tips on how to setup the probing application. This has led to a misunderstanding of the effect this has on low current probing and confusion in how to troubleshooting the problem. 

One common application probe stations are used for is Capacitance versus Voltage measurements (CV measurements) of MOS devices. This is a prime example of how using the proper setup and techniques, Micromanipulator’s equipment gives users a broad frequency range and cleanliness of C-V measurements. Our Application Note guides you through a range of General Setup Considerations and Two-Point Wafer Surface Measurement. You will also find a discussion of C-V Measurements through the Prober Chuck. 

We encourage you to visit our website to read through the entire Application Note for great suggestions and tips. Furthermore while you are there, visit our online store to conveniently buy our probe holders, probe tips, probe positioners/manipulators, patch cords and our new Mechatronics Ace probe stations.

Along with designing, engineering and manufacturing the tools the semiconductor industry depends on, Micromanipulator is committed to the success of our customers.  This is why we provide “system level” support and performance guarantees on all of our products.  We also provide a whole host of information and troubleshooting guidance on our website. 

On good resource we offer regarding probe holders and probe tips is our Probe Tips and Probe Holders Reference Manual.  Inside this guide, you will find detailed information on the best products to use for your application, how to best clean your probe tips and holders, and much more.  In addition we have included some answers to FAQs regarding Micromanipulator’s probe holders and tips.      

One such question comes from a system user who has a complicated arrangement on their test station.  They were looking for a uniquely shaped probe holder and wondered what options we offer.  We answered that we have malleable (bendable) probe holders such as our Model 72 that can be shaped and reshaped as desired.  If you need a more exact configuration, we suggest you look into the options available for a customized probe holder.  

Another customer would like to know if we have probe holders with a built-in probe tip.  The answer is yes we do.  Our popular Model 44 is just such a holder and is ideal for high frequency, low level signal testing or cutting.  With a frequency range from DC to 3 GHz, this economical probe is ideal for the most common microwave tests.  Since the Model 44 offers so many options, we feel it is almost a customized probe.
