H-100
What it is
The Signatone H-100 is a probe station. The H-100 series includes three versions: H-100, H-120, and H-150.[1][2]
The station includes an aluminum base casting, a device stage with four inches of X-Y travel, a linear motion platen, and a microscope tower for mounting Stereozoom optics in a fixed position. An optional 4 inch by 4 inch microscope stage is also described.[1][2]
How it works
The linear motion platen can be raised and lowered using either a crank or a lever. The platen accepts up to six magnetic-based micropositioners and a probe card adapter for use with probe cards.[1][2]
Micropositioner electrical connections are made through six pin jacks that correspond to color-coded banana plugs.[1][2]
Where it fits in the process flow
The H-100 series is primarily designed for probing thick film devices such as ceramic substrates, printed circuit boards, and hybrid circuits. The H-100 and H-120 use a three inch square device or substrate chuck.[1][2]
The H-150 system in the same series can be equipped with a four inch diameter wafer chuck for probing wafers up to four inches in diameter.[1][2]
Applications
Stated application areas include probing thick film devices, ceramic substrates, printed circuit boards, hybrid circuits, and wafers up to four inches in diameter when the H-150 system is fitted with the wafer chuck.[1][2]
