SimplePS Probe Station

Description

Entry Level Set Up, Highly Cost-effective

The most popular set up of Simple PS with only one week lead time. This set up meets your basic requirements of I-V/C-V parameters characterization.

It consists of Key Factor’s basic I-V/C-V test kits: DTP100 micro positioners, 2 sets of S10 series probe holders and 1 box of probe tips.

With these reliable test kits, you can easily probe on pads down to 30 micron. The leakage current of the Simple PS systems is <10nA(S10-BA), <10nA(S10-COAX), <10nA(S10-TRIAX). Users can choose according to their measurement requirements.

S Parameters Set up for RF measurement

Simple PS probe station is not only for I-V/C-V measurement. You can also set it up for RF measurement of S parameters.

The basic set up of SimplePS-RF consists of: 1set of SimplePS probe station(with chuck Z height function), 2 sets of DCP100 micropositioners, 2 sets of RFH100 probe adapters, 2 sets of M40A RF probes and accessories for up to 40GHz measurement.

The rigid and stable design of DCP10 and RFH100 assures accurate probing and stable contacts of probes to pads, thus improving test reliability.

Available in Various Chuck Sizes and Platen Space

The standard Simple PS probe station has a 4-inch chuck. Key Factor can also provide 6 and 8 inch set up for chuck.

Standard footprint of this probe station is 30*25cm. If you require larger footprint with larger platen space, we can also customize for you. We can customize platen space for up to 8, 12 or more positioners.

Hot Chuck Options

KeyFactors also provides hot chucks for users require thermal test conditions. The most popular set up is RT to 200℃ temperature range with 0.1℃ stability. We can also provide higher temperature range, such as RT to 300℃ or RT to 800℃.

The hot chuck system consists of a gold-plated sample holder and a temperature regulation system – TemPro. With this configuration, you can set and monitor temperature on our TemPro controller or on our TemPro software on computer.

Output power of TemPro is DC 24V that protects you from electric shock harm, keeping you safe. The DC power output also has smaller EMI to your tests than AC power temperature controllers.

Optional Chuck Z Height for Repeated Tests

Standard Simple PS probe station only has chuck X-Y motion controls. Z height contact and separation control is available upon request. This function is to lift up/lower down the chuck for 2mm with less than 1 micron repeatability.

With this function, you can make contact of the probe tips to pads repeatedly. It improves test efficiency of repeated probing. Many users use this function to release the probe contact from pads before they finish the test and want to lift up the probe tips. This can avoid mal manipulation of micro positioner Z height, protecting probes from overtravel damages and reducing your consumable probes costs, thus saving your cost of using Simple PS probe station.

Customizable to meet your photon-electric characterizations

Key Factor can also customized for holders or any structures for photon-electric tests. We can design these structures for your lasers, fibers and other optical parts and make them compatible with our SimplePS probe station.

Optimized Low Noise Set up

Users will find it very easy to upgrade Simple PS to a low noise system. Simple PS probe station can easily achieve the goal of <10fA leakage current and <10fF residual capacitance by using proper probes and shielding techniques.

The basic set up of Simple PS low noise probe station are: 1set of Simple PS probe station, 2 sets of DTP100 micro positioners, 2 sets of CPA-10 coax probes, 1 set of Mini Shield shield enclosure and 1 box of coax probe tips.
