A Modular Probe System that is Every Device Capable

For the past 60+ years, The Micromanipulator Company’s priority has been to deliver the tools our customers need to create the products of tomorrow.  This kind of thinking has resulted in another highly revolutionary probe station, the patented VERSA probe system, which is the most versatile probing system on the market.  Not only is it the only system that can probe all your devices in any configuration at above and below ambient temperature but do it frost free with ease and efficiency.  

The VERSA Probe system’s versatility makes it ideal for wafer and individual die probing, thermal probing, and packaged parts & package parts on boards probing of wafers up to 300mm.  It probes hot and cold for full wafers/pieces, packaged chips, and board mounted devices and is above and below ambient capable (frost free).  


VERSA’s many features include supporting all optical microscope options and allows for quick, painless positioning of wafers under the optics.  It also supports 200mm wafer temperature testing up to 400C (300mm = 300C) and all wafer level tests including DC, RF, mmW, high power and more. 


Another benefit of the system is an open platform and flexible device placement that allows efficient management of cabling, holding needs, and other setup requirements.  VERSA’s ability to easily support both very large and small samples with exceptional optical performance and mechanical stability means users successfully probe the smallest devices, including small FIB pads.  Additionally it supports both a magnetic and vacuum based probe positioner.   


With its versatility, temperature capabilities, easy assembly, and engineered stability, Micromanipulator’s patented VERSA is a great value and fast becoming the tool of choice in every lab across the globe.  Visit our website for contact information and let us help you configure a system that meets your testing needs and budget.   


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.  Contact us to learn more about our full line of probe stations and accessories including which thermal chuck and probe positioner meets your needs.
