Thermal Chuck Systems for a Range of Testing Needs

Along with Micromanipulator’s excellent choice of probe stations, we also offer customers the best selection of accessories to ensure their success.  Our wafer chucks are one example.  Our company is responsible for pioneering the integration of thermal chucks with probe stations, and today we provide our customers with high-quality products that offer comprehensive system integration. 

Our thermal chucks offer the broadest temperature range and the most advanced non-operator dependent performance on the market today including rapid heat up and cool down features.  They are also designed to minimize expansion into the probes and heat radiation into the stage to prolong prober life and our Frictionless Kinematic Mount maintains incredible planarity over temperature changes.  

Designed to support wafer testing from -65 to 400 degrees, Micromanipulator’s hot chuck systems offers an AC heating supply for customers that need fast heating and do not require chuck noise in the femtoamp level.   For those that need to achieve the lowest level measurements, we recommend you chose the DC power supply.  Any one of our hot chucks is capable of supporting 150 to 300 mm wafers in coaxial or triaxial configurations. 

For the most economical cooling for above ambient testing, we suggest the C1000 simple heat exchange (HE) option as it offers the advantage of rapid cooling of the chuck once the heat cycle is finished.  If you want the best performance in holding temperatures at room ambient temperatures and need to test to zero degrees, we advise that you consider our C1000 zero degree cooling option.  To handle testing for temperatures as low as -65 degrees C, you will want to take a look at the HC1000 high performance cooling system, which was specifically designed for the task.   

Visit our website to find products that allow you to configure your probe station to meet your performance, budget and probing application requirements.  In addition to our thermal chucks, we have wide assortment of other high-quality accessories and consumables.   

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.  As part of the company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to customers’ satisfaction.  Please contact us to find out more about our exceptional line of probe stations and accessories.

The Industry’s Highest Performing Semi-automatic Probe Stations

Among our many industry “firsts” and leading-edge products, Micromanipulator is proud to offer our customers 200mm and 300mm semi-automatic probe stations with the highest performance on the market.  The field upgradeable P200A (200mm) and P300A (300mm) are the most stable, intuitive, and versatile probe station in the world and are the perfect choice for low current, sub-micron positioning applications. 

These probers offer users a high degree of reliability and precision and are loaded with standard features including a dry/dark environment, integrated thermal chuck plumbing, and a single-point ground.  In addition they have closed-loop operations with massive stage and platen drives, a robust chuck mount and harmonic theta drive as well as comprehensive accessory support.   

When programmability is not required, the probe stations’ joystick controls are easy to operate.  The joystick intuitively operates the station stage, platen (Z), and theta as well as the microscope’s X-Y and Z drives locally to the probe station hardware.  They use our proprietary prober control software, netProbeTM; available with Navigator, Inter-active Video, Memory List, Wafer Map and Setup modules for complete functionality and a high level of features.  The library includes Video Positioning and Snap Alignment, Die to Die and In-Die stepping and a host of other prober interfaces for popular parametric test programs. 

If you need a more cost-efficient semi-automatic, consider either our P200L or P300L that offer system users high performance and full capability.  The probe stations can be configured with a local dry / shielded / dark environment and “Top Hat” for low level or low temperature, frost free probing. 

Please visit our website for more information on the P200A or P300A along with the rest of our semi-automatics.  If you would like a quote on one of our probe stations or another product, fill out our request quotation form and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Find Info on Probe Tips and Holders – Then Order Online

Micromanipulator’s goal is to see to it that our customers get the best tools to meet their needs and help make their job easier.  This is why we offer the most comprehensive selection of analytical probing hardware on the market today as well as continue to design new state-of-the-art products that will be used to develop the products of tomorrow. 

You will find when you visit our website that along with a listing of our high quality probe stations, consumables, and accessories, we also provide customers with a wealth of information on each product.  For example our Probe Tips and Probe Holders Reference Manual gives customers detailed specifications on each model and recommendations on application use. 

The manual describes various probe holders such as the on-axis Model 79-0 probe holder, which is ideal for low-profile probing.  This model allows the probe tip to exit the probe holder straight from the end and can be used with a tip bent by hand or with a pre-bent probe tip in 45 or 60 degree attack angles.  If you plan to hand-bend your tip, we suggest you chose from a 7A-M model, 7F-M or 7X-M.  We also let you know that the 79-0 can be used with all Model 7 probe tip styles except the Model 7D tungsten carbide probe tip as the tip cannot be bent without breaking. 

As you can see from the one example, our information is comprehensive and makes selecting the optimal probe holder and tips much easier.  After you decide on the particular products you want, all you need to do is to visit our online store and securely place your order.
