MPI TS150, TS200 & TS300

MPI TS150, TS200 & TS300 probe stations are rich on exciting features, making the daily operation easy, intuitive, and convenient by ensuring highly accurate measurements.

Features & Benefits

   Air-Bearing Stage

The MPI unique air-bearing stage design, with simple single-handed puck control, provides unsurpassed convenience of operation for fast XY navigation and quick wafer loading without compromising accurate and fine positioning capability with the additional fine and accurate 25×25 mm XY-Theta micrometer movement.

Unique Platen Lift
with Probe Hover Control™

Measurement accuracy depends on the contact quality first! The highly repeatable (1µm) platen lift design with three discrete positions for contact, separation (300µm), and loading (3mm) with a safety lock utility are all examples of unparalleled functionality incorporated into MPI manual probe systems. These features prevent unexpected probe or wafer damage while providing intuitive control and accurate contact positioning. This capability is especially critical in both high frequency and high power applications in order to achieve the most accurate measurement results.

For TS200 and TS300, additional Probe Hover Control™ comes with hover heights (50, 100 or 150 µm) for easy and convenient probe to pad alignment.

Height Adjustment Scale

The probe platen has 25 mm of fine height adjustment required to support various applications. The unique 1mm accurate scale gives direct feedback about the current position.

Various Chuck Options

The manual systems are available with various chuck options to meet different budgets and application requirements. Chuck options include MPI’s coaxial or triaxial Chucks or various ERS thermal chucks to support temperature measurement up to 300 °C – as example for seamless integration of the thermal touch controller for quick and convenient access and operation.
