RF Probes
Cascade Microtech created the first microwave probe in 1983 that enabled the first on-wafer 18 GHz measurements and accelerated the commercialization of gallium arsenide chips. Our line of RF probes is designed to meet the challenges of high-frequency probing and ensures low and stable contact resistance on aluminum pads.
Infinity Probe
Ideal for device characterization and modeling, Infinity probe combines extremely low contact resistance on aluminum pads with unsurpassed RF measurement accuracy for highly reliable, repeatable measurements. Proprietary thin-film and coaxial probe technology reduces unwanted couplings to nearby devices and transmission modes.

Air Coplanar Probe Series
The Air Coplanar Probe is a rugged microwave probe with a compliant tip for accurate, repeatable measurements on-wafer. It features excellent probe-tip visibility and the lowest loss available. Available as both single and dual, the ACP probe combines outstanding electrical performance with precise probe mechanics and is todays most widely used microwave probe available.
Unity Probe ™: Multicontact probe for RFIC engineering test
The Unity probe is well-suited for on-wafer circuit measurements for engineering design debug and verification. This build-to-order multicontact probe streamlines RFIC engineering test, saving you time, aggravation and money. An online design capture and request for quote form is available.

Fixed Pitch Compliant Series
The FPC-Series (Fixed-Pitch Compliant) is a high frequency 50 ohm coaxial probe that offers a signal line with either one or two low-inductance fixed-pitch ground contacts. The probe tip structure is lithographically defined for unsurpassed impedance control, preserving the highest integrity possible when launching and receiving signals from SMT boards, hybrids and multi-chip modules(MCM).
Impedance Matching Probes
Using proven Air Coplanar Probe technology, Cascade Microtech's Impedance Matching Probes are available in both reactive and resistive versions. A choice of either ACP or FPC body styles is available.
