High Current Parametric (HCP) Probe

EPD - Probes Tesla HCPTest power devices on wafer with high-performance and low-contact resistance on smaller pads

Designed specifically for testing power devices on wafer, the High Current Parametric Probe reduces probe and device destruction at high currents by minimizing contact resistance at the wafer-to-probe interface to prevent device heating at the tip. The innovative multi-finger design distributes the current over multiple contact points at the tip and is joined by a single heatsink which pulls heat from the probe tip.

Features

  • Enables wafer probing up to 60A pulsed/10A DC
  • Innovative multi-finger tip design provides even distribution of current
  • Supports up to 500V
  • Replaceable Tungsten probe tips
  • Temperature range of -55 to 300ºC

Advantages

  • Minimal contact resistance at the pad-tip junction to reduce heating during measurements, with fewer probe marks
  • Prevents against thermal runaway
  • Measure devices on wafer at higher currents than ever before
  • Small scrub minimizes damage to aluminum pad
  • Small footprint - tip fits on a 1mm pad
