Used for semiconductor wafer inspection, electrical measurement, and device validation.

Micron-Level Positioning

Supports accurate probe alignment for small pads, dies, and advanced devices.

Flexible Test Integration

Compatible with microscopes, analyzers, thermal chucks, RF probes, and test instruments.

Probe Station Types

Choose the Right Probe Station for Your Testing Process

Different semiconductor testing tasks require different probe station configurations. Whether you need manual operation for R&D, automatic wafer probing for production, RF testing for high-frequency devices, or thermal testing for reliability analysis, choosing the right system can improve testing accuracy, efficiency, and long-term equipment value.
