MICRO

Microprobing Solutions for Optical Microscopes

The MICRO product line has several different platforms that accommodate up to 8 miBot™ microprobers. Stand-alone MICRO solutions include a microscope and a sample positioning stage. We also offer microprobing platform kits for flexible integration with other microscopy equipment. Each solution enables the user to independently position probes over millimeters with a resolution down to a few tenth of nanometers. miBots can also be used to hold optical fibers, sensors, etc.

Wafer-Level Probe Station with Automation

This probe station is designed for semi-automated electrical characterization of sub-micron scale components on wafers up to 4’’. The platform drives up to 8 miBot probers and connects their probe tips to third-party electrical source-measurement units. A highly precise X-Y-Z wafer chuck (cooling/heating options available) and a powerful microscope with motorized zoom are part of this fully integrated solution. Automated probing of identical devices across the wafer can be included in this solution.

Micro Probe Station for Small Samples

This tabletop Probe Station is designed for micro-scale electrical characterization of semiconductor dies and test devices under 1’’. It drives up to 4 miBot robots and connects their probe tips to third-party electrical source-measurement units. A high-magnification microscope with motorized zoom and a manual X-Y stage for sample positioning are included in this turnkey solution.

Microprobing Platform Kits for Integration into Various Setups

We offer two Microprobing Platform Kits that can be installed on different kinds of microscopes and other setups. The kit for four probers is ideal to retrofit an optical microscope or a probe station. The one-prober kit is designed to fit into the most crowded setups. Both versions connect the probers' tips to third-party electrical source-measurement units.
