Industry Leading Innovations

At Micromanipulator we are proud of our long history of designing, engineering and manufacturing innovative, industry-changing products.  Advancements include the progression of belt-driven stages into high resolution lead screw lead nut designs that now provide the industry with unsurpassed positioning resolution.  Also the evolution of tools that once supported microscope magnifications of a few hundred times to today’s high-tech tools that now support >2000X magnification levels.   

Our company is also proud to have pioneered the integration of thermal chucks with probe stations and to continue to lead the industry with the broadest available temperature range and the most advanced, non-operator dependent performance.  Yet another exciting industry first from Micromanipulator is our newly patented 2210 application board probe station with above/below ambient temperature stress that addresses today’s advanced system level FA challenges.   

The exclusive, state-of-the-art 2210LS combines traditional wafer probe to the device exercising capabilities of the application board.  One of the problems in the past has been that when application boards were used as part of a post tape out test plan, they were not suitable for in-circuit probing with traditional techniques optimized for the wafer level. 

Micromanipulator’s innovative application board compatible probe station was specifically designed to migrate wafer level probe capability to the system level application board to assist with post tape-out product spins.  This also significantly helps to expedite the identification of root cause.  Designed for above and below ambient temperatures, extensive application coverage is offered including basic DC, to E and K-Band analysis.  Among other features, the probe station provides system operators flexible setups, a large area and vibration isolation as well as an open and stable platform for high magnification sample viewing and probing.  See our website for more information.    

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.

Probe Holders Designed for a Variety of Applications

One of the reasons we design and manufacture so many different probe holders is our customers tell us what they need, and we produce the products to fulfill those needs.  You will find our lineup of probe holders is one of the most comprehensive on the market.  Our holders address a broad range of application requirements including: general purpose DC characterization, high speed, wide bandwidth, low current and high power.  Also by producing such a variety of products, our users have the opportunity to choose a holder based on their measurement equipment interface requirements or application demand as well as budget and personal preference. 

The Model 44, one of our single unit holders, offers so many options and configurations it is virtually a custom probe.  Features include a frequency range from DC to 3 GHz; low level signal testing; 50-ohm circuit testing; CV testing; and Kelvin force, and sense and single wire configurations.  This economical probe is appropriate for the most common microwave test and has coaxial shielding that extends from the cable connection through the body of gold plated brass to the tungsten probe point.

Micromanipulator’s high attack angle probe holders, models 75-80, are designed for hot stage probing and are ideal for applications where probing is difficult due to thermal expansion or vibration. While the holders accept any Model 7 point, they are specifically designed to be used with high compliance points such as models 7F, 7F-10, 7F-C10, and 7S.  Please keep in mind that because these probe holders have a high angle of attack, the probe point must be approximately 3/8” below the holder in order to be visible.  This means any compound microscope objectives with a working distance of less than 1/2 inch (12.5 mm) may not be feasible.   

Our probe holders are also available in a variety of versions including coaxial or triaxial, high frequency, active, high/low temperature, high power and low profile.  Please see our Probe Tip and Probe Holder Reference Manual to learn more details and specifications about our full line of exceptions probe tips and holders.
