Micromanipulator’s 3mm Semi-automatic Probers

The Micromanipulator’s high performance 300mm, semi-automatic P300A and P300L probe stations offer the industry’s best low current, sub-micron & temperature performances along with a standard coaxial chuck that is upgradable to a thermal and triaxial chuck.   Features include leadscrew – leadnut stage and platen drives; and a large magnetic stainless steel platen with plenty of room for multiple manipulators and/or a probe card as well as a removable wedge for easy loading and sample access.  The high stability microscope bridge supports all high resolution, long-working distance microscopes.  

In addition programmable axes are also controllable via our netProbe7 software that is included and offers users robust and intuitive navigation along with an easy-to-install setup.  It includes Setup modules, extensive GUI featuring Navigation, Wafer Map, Sub-die and Video applications and Router app for GPIB connectivity to provide users with full functionality and a whole range of high level features.  

The Navigator module gives users complete inter-active navigation control of stage, platen, theta alignment, pattern recognition and microscope.  The Wafer Map module offers programming as well as step and repeat functions.  Also the prober’s motorized controls are conveniently placed at the front of the station to allow simple manual control of the semi-automatic station whenever programmability is not needed. Moreover if your application requirements change, we can move you into a fully automatic probe station if needed.

With the P300A and P300L, you will get drivers for popular testers from companies such as Keysight, Keithley, and LabVIEW.  The probers are configurable for DE, R, Microwave, and high power applications.  They may also be configured with a local dry / shielded / dark environment “Top Hat” for low level or low temperature, frost free probing.  In addition three temperature ranges are supported:

• Ambient (room temperature) to 300C 
• 0C to 300C
• -55C to 300C

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.
