How to Care for Your Probe Holder and Tips


At the Micromanipulator Company, our job is to help customers buy the best tools for their particular applications, and is why we have developed such a wide array of products. Also we understand precision is important, and your tools including your probe tips and probe holders need to be in their best shape for optimal performance.  This is why we are happy to provide tips on how to care for them and help extend their longevity.
Different techniques are used to clean and protect probe tips depending on the material they are made from.  The first step to cleaning one of our tungsten, tungsten carbide, nickel tips, HCT tips, or platinum-coated custom probe tips is to rinse it in deionized water.  Then use compressed air to dry the excess water from the tip. If your tip has oxide deposits, dip the probe tip into a 1.0 solution of normal sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for a few seconds.  Repeat the first two steps to rinse in deionized water and to dry with compressed air.

If you need to clean a beryllium copper probe tip, follow the same steps we recommend for Micromanipulator’s tungsten tips - rinsing in deionized water and using compressed air to dry.  If the tip has oxide deposits, you will need to wash the tip in a 10% w/w sodium carbonate solution (NA2CO3) and rinse in deionized water.  Next use a 10% v/v nitric acid solution (HNO3) and dip the tip until a reaction occurs. Now dry with compressed air.
To extend the life of your probe holders, we recommend you use a swab or another suitable applicator to apply a methanol solution to the tip of the holder.  Please do not soak the holder in the solution. Once you have applied the methanol, bake the shank at 200° F-300° F for a minimum of 6 hours.
We invite you to visit our website to see our full selection of probe tips (over 90 available) and probe holders.  Whether you need low resistance, high power, low current, high frequency, durability, high or low temperature contact optimization; and your application is high volume production support, a high value critical FA return, or somewhere in between, we have the right tip for you.  

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 for more information about our innovative probe stations, consumables and accessories.

Probe Stations Recommended for Hot/Cold Applications

When Micromanipulator says we have the best selection of tools for virtually any application, we are not kidding. For example we offer eight, high-quality probe stations ideal for hot/cold applications. Starting with the premium 2210-LS Application Board Probe Station, which is capable of probing wafers up to 300mm, it offers independent platens and scope travel across the entire station. The 2210-LS also comes with a large vibration isolated open stage as well as a patent pending thermal chamber system. 

Another excellent probe station for hot/cold probing is the 450PM General Purpose Manual. Built with your budget and application in mind, the station is a great value as it is designed to grow with your application. The 450PM offers a stable, reliable probing performance, and while equipped with a coaxial chuck, it is thermal and triaxial chuck upgradable. The design of the 450PM is based on the popular 4060. 

The balanced, manual Model 4060 probe station is yet another option for hot/cold probing and offers system users high magnification and stability and a quick platen lift. While a coaxial chuck is standard, it too is thermal and triaxial chuck upgradable and has lots of compatible accessories available. 

Micromanipulator’s best values in our semi-automatic stations are our P200L Semi-Automatic Probe Station and P300L Semi-Automatic Probe Station. Both offer automation that can be incrementally upgraded. Low current ready, the probers are built with your application and budget in mind. 

Does your hot/cold application require high performance? We recommend taking a look at the Model 8060, our highest performance manual that features sub-micron positioning and fA resolution. Along with a quick lift platen, it is designed for demanding applications such as high and low temperature probing, very low current and voltage probing, and sub-micron target probing to the limits of visible optics. The 8060 is thermal and triaxial chuck upgradeable. 

Please visit Micromanipulator’s website to find out more about our probe stations designed for hot/cold probing and other applications as well as our quality consumables and accessories. If you have any questions, please contact us.

We Recently Delivered a Number of Large Chamber Model 2210-LS Probe Stations

Micromanipulator recently delivered multiple units of our exclusive large chamber Model 2210-LS application board probe stations to a major USA based semiconductor manufacturer. Featuring -40C to 125C temperature capabilities, the manufacturer intends to use the world’s first true system level probe stations in multiple locations across the globe.

While it was just introduced a few years ago, Micromanipulator’s patent-pending 2210-LS has already been quick to gain worldwide recognition as the most versatile, flexible probe station available on the market today. Originally designed as a temperature capable application/evaluation/development board probe station, it allows users to probe decapsulated IC’s mounted on boards at both low and high temperatures that range from -40C to 125C, frost free. 

With the introduction of the revolutionary 2210-LS, users are given temperature stress capabilities at both the wafer level as well as at the board level. Furthermore Micromanipulator’s team has continued to advance the application board/probe station’s capabilities so they now cover automotive temperature requirements for board probing and board mounted decapsulated IC probing. In addition to providing a large vibration isolated open stage, our board level probe station probes wafers up to 300mm.

Hot Chuck Systems with Options

As an industry leader, Micromanipulator engineers and manufactures the best range of high-quality probe stations.  We also produce a wide variety of compatible accessories designed for our stations including hot chuck systems that offer the broadest available temperature range and the most advanced, non-operator dependent performance on the market. 

Micromanipulator’s thermal chuck systems support wafer configurations to fit your application and budget and offer features such as rapidly heating up and cooling down.  They will also minimize expansion into the probes; maintain incredible planarity over temperature changes with our Frictionless Kinematic Mount; and minimize heat radiation into the stage that helps to prolong your prober’s life.   

Our innovative hot chuck systems support wafer testing from -65 to 400 C degrees and come with a choice of a heating power supply.  If you need fast heating and do not require chuck noise in the femtoamp level, we suggest you chose an AC heating supply.  It is best to go with our DC power supply if you need to achieve the lowest level measurements.  Regardless of which one you choose, all of our hot chucks are capable of supporting 150 to 300mm wafers in coaxial or triaxial configurations.

We recommend the C1000 simple heat exchange (HE) option if you want the most economical cooling for above ambient testing as it offers the benefit of a rapid cooling of the chuck after the heat cycle is finished.  If you need to test to zero degrees, and require the best performance in holding temperatures at room ambient temperatures, your best choice is our C1000 zero degree cooling option. 

For the highest performance, we recommend our exclusive HC1000, which is specifically designed to handle testing for temperatures as low as -65 degrees C.  It provides the best planarity, lowest noise, and lowest cost of ownership, and all control options work with our probing specialized thermal chuck.

Our wide range of products allows you to configure your probe station to meet performance, budget and probing application requirements.  Please visit our website to learn more. 


Micromanipulator not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but we are the leading name in the field. We reliably deliver the tools and life cycle support the semiconductor industry depends on. Part of our company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to our customers’ satisfaction.
