The MPI TS150/300-AIT and TS150/200-THZ on-board test systems expand MPI's unique solutions for emerging THz applications such as high-speed 5G communication, satellites, non-invasive spectroscopy, security and surveillance, medical and healthcare equipment, and short-range automotive radars by adding active impedance tuner integrations on the same test stations. These systems are the first 150 mm, 200 mm and 300 mm explicitly designed for industry, enabling precise testing with the combination of microwave (mmW), THz application requirements and automated impedance tuner, with the best possible measurement directivity.
The TS150-THZ(ANT) for antenna measurements is also available.
Variety of applications
Ergonomic design
Expandability
Air-Cushion Stage
The unique design of the MPI air-cushion stage, with simple one-handed operation, provides unmatched operating comfort for fast XY navigation and fast wafer loading without compromising the precise and fine positioning capability with the additional XY-Theta micrometer movement:
Single Stage with Probe Hover Control™
The repeatable (1 μm) stage lift design features three discrete positions for contact, separation (300 μm) and loading (3 mm). The lift incorporates a safety interlock that prevents accidental lowering of the platform. These features provide unmatched functionality and integrate with MPI’s standard manual test systems. This system prevents damage to test tips or wafers and provides intuitive control, precise contact positioning, safe and repeatable adjustments.
Unique chuck Z position adjustment
MPI AIT and THZ probe test stations integrate, in addition to the air-cushioned XY stage, a 10 mm chuck Z adjustment with µm resolution for fine and precise contact / overtravel control or probe board placement correction.
A 1 mm scale indicator provides easy feedback to the operator.
A wide choice of chucks depending on the application
Manual systems are available with different chuck options to meet different budgets and application requirements. Options include MPI coaxial or triaxial chucks or various ERS thermal chucks to support temperature measurements up to 300°C, with seamless integration of the touchscreen control for quick and convenient access and operation.
Auxiliary Chucks for RF Calibration
The RF chucks incorporate two auxiliary chucks constructed of ceramic for precise RF calibration.
Various Optics and Movement Options
A wide range of optics is available with a choice of stereo for all common DC/CV applications or high magnification single-tube microscopes for RF or load-pull configurations. High-resolution cameras for optimum comfort are also offered.
