Accessories Designed to Enhance Your Probe Station’s Performance

The Micromanipulator Company combines 60+ years of analytic probing experience with state-of-the-art design, testing and manufacturing capabilities. We proudly offer a comprehensive selection of probe stations and a wide range of accessories to give customers more choices than they will find anywhere else, and many with technological advancements not available through other manufacturers.

Our accessories are smartly designed to enhance your probe station’s performance and help you achieve the type of results you can count on.  One example of our innovative products is our Vibration Isolated Station with Rigid Mount Light Tight Enclosure.  The assembly allows the probe station to be supported on the vibration isolated surface while the light tight enclosure is mounted on a rigid surface (the vibration isolation table guard rails).  As a system user, you will appreciate the fact that the floating vibration isolated surface is not disturbed when the LTE doors are opened.  In addition the LTE setup means it is easier to both install and remove the probe station itself. 

The unit includes access holes in the bottom plate, which come with rubber “light shielding boots” that fit around the inner table’s extendable legs to prevent light leakage through the hole.  Your probe station sits on the inner platform that rests on the vibration isolated surface. 

Along with vibration isolation, Micromanipulator also specializes in thermal management and flexibility as well as open architectures and material selections, high-quality microscopes, manipulators, DC and RF measurement hardware.  In fact our cutting-edge technology allows system users to focus on data, not the prober.  Please visit our website to learn more about The Micromanipulator Company, our products and our exceptional customer service. We welcome questions and inquiries into our products and will do our best to assist you in whatever way we can.  

Micromanipulator not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but we are leaders 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.

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.

Tips for Dealing with Uncontrolled Movement When Probing

At the Micromanipulator Company, we have always based our success on that of our customers. By listening (and learning) to our customers, we have been able to explore and develop solutions to a range of common and sometimes not so common problems encountered during the wafer probing process. 

One such problem is uncontrolled movement that causes the probe to slide or jump off its contact when using a hot stage at extremely elevated temperatures or for CV measurement. (You will find detailed information on this topic in one of Application Notes under our website’s “About” tab.) While likely due to thermal expansion, research has found that for every 100 ºC temperature change, the movement may account for as much as one mil at any given location. On a six or eight-inch wafer, this type of movement may affect your testing results. 

As a way to solve these problems, we offer equipment solutions such as our high compliance 7F probe point. The 7F’s very fine wire tip flexes and is designed to follow a target device as it moves in the X, Y, Z axes. The high temperature, bendable shank and tip offers the largest radius for probe contact as well as the shortest conical taper length to minimize the skating or slipping effect of the probe tip on the wafer site. Using it with a small amount of flexure on the tip and at the near vertical angle of about 80o ± 5o, it is steep enough for the application and still visible under the microscope. 

Micromanipulator works hard to find solutions to application problems and is proud to bring customers the finest equipment on the market for probing small geometries. For your convenience, the 7F Tungsten Cat Whisker Probe Tip is available at our online store. Please visit our website to see our full line of probe tips and probe holders as well as our probe stations and accessories. 

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 semiconductor industry depends on.

The Experts Explain “Proven Techniques for Thermal Probing”

The goal of the Micromanipulator Company is to provide the semiconductor industry with the cutting-edge tools they need to develop the products of the future.  Our high-quality products allow our customers to focus on the data, not on the performance of the prober.   

In addition we provide specifications and details regarding what type of applications our products are best suited for as well as how to get the most out of our tools.  One important resource is our Application Notes that discuss in detail a myriad of common application problems encountered by users along with information on how to most effectively use Micromanipulator’s products.       

A prime example is our Application Note titled; Proven Techniques for Thermal Probing that provides expert recommendations for customers that use a hot stage for elevated temperature probing or CV Measurement.   A common problem of this type of probing is the uncontrolled movement that can cause the probe to slide or jump off its contact resulting in a movement of up to one mil at any location on a six or eight-inch wafer.  Along with thoroughly discussing and analyzing the causes and effects of these kinds of problems, we offer effective equipment solutions. 

In addition to exploring the problem of movement of a device under the probe and the probe point due to thermal expansion, we give you solutions for maintaining probe contact during temperature stressing of wafers.  This includes discussing the merits of several of our probe holders and the advantages of each one.  Our primary advice is “a little technique can go a long way” when it comes to probing all forms of small geometries, and that with a little experimenting, operators will find the most suitable probing angle and/ or technique.   

We encourage you to visit our website and read through our complete hot stage probing techniques.  Finally if you still have questions, please give us a call as we not only manufacture our probe stations, accessories, and consumables, but we design and engineer them to meet our customers’ needs.
