What is it?

The Signatone S-1160 Probe Station is described as a rugged, economically priced probe station that can be fitted with either high-powered optics for probing small geometries or lower-powered optics for probing bonding pads and larger geometries. It is available in multiple configurations, accepts both magnetic-base and vacuum-base micropositioners, and is equipped with vacuum ports for up to twelve vacuum-base micropositioners.

What can it run?

Process applications and technology nodes documented for this tool.

  • RF probing
