Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and features of the FormFactor PM8 200 mm Manual Probe System, designed for semiconductor testing and evaluation.
Microscope Movement: The system offers various movement options for microscopes, including a 150 mm x 100 mm manual movement for large area evaluation, a 50 mm x 50 mm high-resolution movement for precise work, and a motorized option for easy navigation. A 200 mm x 200 mm movable bridge allows for both coarse and fine movement.
Microscope Bridge: Features a cast bridge for stability and low drift, with a low-profile design for ergonomic operation.
Probe Platen: Compatible with probe card adapters, allowing simultaneous use of probe cards and positioners. It includes a mm-Wave platen for RF applications and a cooled platen for high-temperature operations up to 300 °C.
Platen Movement: Offers a 45 mm travel range for flexibility, with motorized movement options for quick operation. The system height is adaptable for different applications.
Platen Separation: Provides 500 µm separation drive with 1 µm precision for repeatable contact positioning.
Chuck Features: Includes dedicated 200 mm chucks for various measurements and high temperatures, with excellent planarity. Features fine theta movement for RF probe alignment and an 8 mm load stroke for wafer exchange.
Microscope and Camera: High-resolution microscopes and stereo options are available, with C-mount camera options for navigation and documentation.
Positioner Compatibility: Compatible with Cascade Microtech positioners for submicron positioning, with interchangeable positioners across different Cascade probe stations.
Chuck X-Y Movement: Offers rapid independent x-y stage movement with precise positioning and separate axis fixation for easy navigation.
Base Platen: Designed with a small footprint for easy operation of chuck and platen drives.
Fine Movement and Stage Indicator: Provides easy viewing of actual x-y fine position.
Additional Features: Includes a vacuum switch for operational convenience.
