Overview :
The microprobe is a hyper-compact precision measurement tool to analyze the electrical, optical and physical properties of samples at a microscopic scale (dielectric, ionic, semiconductor, electronic) and their interfaces (e.g. grain boundaries and electrodes).
These measurements can be performed under the desired environmental conditions of temperature, humidity, gas, vacuum, etc. in order to reproduce real in-situ conditions.
Configuration: see the detailed configurations on the following tab: number of tips, temperature control.
Despite the expansion / contraction of the substrate depending on the temperature, the contact point with the tip does not change thanks to the micropositioner.
Versatile use and very wide fields of applications:
Number of tips:
Control of environmental conditions:
7 configurations for sample temperature control:
1 - No temperature control device.
The sample is simply physically held on the substrate holder and can be grounded.
2 - Peltier device:
a. -40 to +200°C range, sample size: 19 x 19 mm
b. -40 to +170°C range: Peltier device with hole diam. 3.2 mm, for transmittance measurements e.g. Sample size: 16 x 16 mm
3 - Ceramic heater, sample size: Ø 1/2 inch (12.7 mm)
Thermocouple value inside the heater unit:
4 - Liquid nitrogen cooling device
Temperature: 80 K (-193.15 °C) to ambient
Ramp of temperature up and down: 20°C/min
Options : The microchamber for testing under tips with manual positioning is available with the following options:
