Wafer Chucks with Choice of Heating Power Supply & Cooling Options

When you are looking for the world’s best analytical probing tools, put your trust in The Micromanipulator Company.  With over 60 years in the industry, we have earned a reputation throughout the world for innovative, high-quality products and for providing the state-of-the-art tools our customers need to develop the products of tomorrow.  Moreover our many decades in the industry mean you can feel confident buying from us as well as the fact that we intend to be around for at least another 60 years or more.

Right from the start, we have incorporated a philosophy of listening and learning from our customers.  This information is used to inspire designs for the industry’s top-of-the-line wafer probes, accessories and consumables.  One example of Micromanipulator’s leading-edge technology is our wafer chucks that are designed for comprehensive system integration.  Our thermal chucks offer features such as rapid heating up and cooling down, as well as minimize expansion into the probes and heat radiation into the stage to help prolong the life of the prober.  Our Frictionless Kinematic Mount also maintains incredible planarity over temperature changes. 

In addition Micromanipulator’s premium wafer chucks support wafer testing from -65 to 400 degrees and support 150 to 300 mm wafers in choices of coaxial or triaxial configurations.  You also have the option of AC or DC heating power supplies. For those requiring fast heating but do not need chuck noise in the femtoamp level, you can go with an AC heating supply.  If your application needs to achieve the lowest level measurements, then choose a DC power supplied wafer chuck.  

It your application would benefit from the best planarity, lowest noise and lowest cost of ownership, we recommend taking a look at our exclusive H1000 series thermal chucks that provide several configurations designed to meet your application and budget needs. The C1000 is our most economical simple heat exchange (HE) option for above ambient testing.  Our HC1000 offers users the highest performance and can handle testing for temperatures as low as -65 degrees C. Moreover all control options work with our specialized thermal chucks.

The Micromanipulator Company welcomes questions and inquiries into our products as well as offers a worldwide network of service support engineers to provide full “system level” support.  For help with your application, please contact our engineers.

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 excellent range of wafer probes and accessories.
