What is it?

The MPI TS150 Probe Station is used for probing devices on chip or wafer. The source states it is designed for electrical testing on wafers or chips, with up to 4 independent terminals plus additional chuck grounding, and a chuck compatible with wafer sizes up to 6 inch. It uses binocular optics with a digital camera for probe-tip alignment and manual micro-manipulators for probe movement.

What can it run?

Process applications and technology nodes documented for this tool.

  • Electrical testing on wafers
  • Electrical testing on chips
  • DC characterization of microelectronic devices
  • AC characterization of devices under test
  • Resistance measurements
  • Diode measurements
  • Transistor measurements
  • 2-point measurements
  • 4-point measurements

Why won't it start?

Documented failure modes, common issues, and field considerations.

  • The source warns of shock hazard during measurement.
  • The source states probe needles have very sharp tungsten carbide tips and can be damaged by crash or contamination.
  • The source warns not to use the probes for mechanical testing or machining.
