Success Story – Dark Environment Device Characterization – United States 

Customer Requirements: 

A customer in the United States was looking for a small-footprint probing solution to characterize semiconductor devices inside a dark environment.

 

SemiProbe Solution: 

A manual Lab Assistant probe system referred to as an LA-100 DC:

  • 100 mm x 100 mm X & Y coaxial wafer stage with Z and theta 
  • 100 mm chuck with vacuum grooves and independent vacuum zones to handle die, partial wafers, and whole wafers up to 100 mm. 
  • A platen with a platen lift that accommodates individual manipulators or a probe card holder. 
  • A rigid microscope post with a 100 mm x 100 mm X, Y coaxial microscope movement with axis locking knobs. 
  • A stereo zoom microscope with a long working distance (WD) and large field of view (FOV). 
  • CCTV System Kit - color camera with color monitor, cables, and power supply 
  • Four (4) manual MA-8000 manipulators with magnetic bases and coaxial probe arms. 
  • Assortment of tungsten probe tips 
  • Dark Box with interconnect panel – coaxial feed-throughs and a rubberized boot for direct cable pass-through
