What is it?

The SUSS PM5 analytical probe system is described as a probe station for precise analysis of devices fabricated on wafers and substrates measuring up to 150 mm (6″) in diameter. It can be used for DC and HF measurements, supports failure analysis, allows up to 12 SUSS probe heads at one time, and includes a manipulator probe for picking and placing nanowires onto a device or substrate.
