RF Probe Setup Guide: Video 5: Moving the Stage to the ISS

Making sure that both probes are off the surface of the Contact Substrate, move the stage so that the probes now sit over the ISS. The ISS is approximately the same thickness as the Contact Substrate. However, it is still important to be careful that the ISS does not hit the side of the probe tips.

Move the stage so that the probes sit over the mark in the top left-hand corner of the ISS. A map is provided with the substrates that detail the specifics of the ISS.

On the map there are two markers on the top-left and right-hand corners of the ISS that are used to align the probes to the substrate. These are used for manual probe stations only. For semiautomatic probe stations, a software theta correction for the ISS is used.
