Accessories & Upgrades
Precision measurement capability does not end with the probe and probe station. We offer a complete set of accessories to allow you to position, navigate, determine signal fidelity, and contact the wafer or device under test.
eVue Digital Imaging System
The eVue™ digital imaging system is a revolutionary new microscopy tool optimized for on-wafer test with Cascade Microtech Probe Stations. It radically improves wafer navigation, test setup, and probe contact accuracy through the integration of microscopy, digital imaging, and software automation. By combining new wafer probe navigation tools with next generation digital microscope technology, users can now see, touch, and measure devices far beyond a traditional microscope.
iVista™ High-Resolution Digital Microscope
The iVista™ High-Resolution Digital Video Microscope is an intelligent microscopy tool, which goes far beyond simple visualization, providing easy navigation and accurate positioning as well as full probing control.
Positioners
Cascade Microtech's probe positioners are optimized for various applications and compatible with all Cascade Microtech’s probes and probe stations. They ensure you micron placement accuracy, and superior planarity adjustments.
PureLine Technology
PureLine ensures confidence in your test data from process development through characterization and modeling to long term reliability and failure analysis test. Cascade Microtech probing systems with PureLine technology will keep you on the road and ahead of the curve.
ProbeShield® Technology
ProbeShield® Technology creates a measurement environment free from electromagnetic (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI) for device characterization and modeling, process development, wafer-level reliability and failure analysis and 3D IC engineering test.
Vibration Isolation Tables
Working with increasingly small scales of reference means that any vibration however minimal, even from the equipment itself, will seriously degrade a probe station's performance. Slight vibrations will cause the probes to jump and miss their contacts and the microscope image will be blurred.
Light-tight probing: ShieldEnclosure™
ShieldEnclosures™ are designed for durable stability and sized to accommodate analytical probers equipped with all kinds of accessories incl.: thermal chucks, laser cutters, TV and Emission cameras. The EMI-shielded version guarantees a light-tight and electromagnetically shielded environment for all sensitive measurements.
EDGE 1/f Noise Measurement Module
The EDGE flicker noise measurement module is a field-upgradable retrofit to most Cascade Microtech probe stations, and includes software tools for 1/f noise modeling and statistical analysis.
Cables
Cascade Microtech's range of low-loss thermally stable cables, ensures higher quality measurements and longer lasting calibrations. Each cable has a male connector at one end that connects to the probe and a female connector at the other end to connect to the test instrumentation. For vertical style probes, the male connector includes an integrated 90º elbow.
Software Solutions
Cascade Microtech offers several unique software solutions that enhance the functionality of your wafer-level test systems.
Chucks
Cascade Microtech offers a variety of chucks depending on the substrate to be tested. Solutions for holding gel packs are also available
ProbeHeads™ Overview
Cascade Microtech's ProbeHeads™ are perfect for any application from DC to 110 GHz and beyond. ProbeHead™ manipulators are also available for several dedicated RF and microwave, submicron and MEMS probing applications.
