The goal of the Micromanipulator Company is to provide the semiconductor industry with the cutting-edge tools they need to develop the products of the future. Our high-quality products allow our customers to focus on the data, not on the performance of the prober.
In addition we provide specifications and details regarding what type of applications our products are best suited for as well as how to get the most out of our tools. One important resource is our Application Notes that discuss in detail a myriad of common application problems encountered by users along with information on how to most effectively use Micromanipulator’s products. A prime example is our Application Note titled; Proven Techniques for Thermal Probing that provides expert recommendations for customers that use a hot stage for elevated temperature probing or CV Measurement. A common problem of this type of probing is the uncontrolled movement that can cause the probe to slide or jump off its contact resulting in a movement of up to one mil at any location on a six or eight-inch wafer. Along with thoroughly discussing and analyzing the causes and effects of these kinds of problems, we offer effective equipment solutions. In addition to exploring the problem of movement of a device under the probe and the probe point due to thermal expansion, we give you solutions for maintaining probe contact during temperature stressing of wafers. This includes discussing the merits of several of our probe holders and the advantages of each one. Our primary advice is “a little technique can go a long way” when it comes to probing all forms of small geometries, and that with a little experimenting, operators will find the most suitable probing angle and/ or technique. We encourage you to visit our website and read through our complete hot stage probing techniques. Finally if you still have questions, please give us a call as we not only manufacture our probe stations, accessories, and consumables, but we design and engineer them to meet our customers’ needs. Micromanipulator not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but we reliably deliver the tools and life cycle support the semiconductor industry depends on. Part of our company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to customer satisfaction.
