The DCP-X probe is designed for engineers and scientists in device characterization, R&D, and testing, offering highly accurate and repeatable on-wafer electrical measurements (IV, CV, LFN). It uses MEMS technology to measure advanced devices (2, 3, 5 nm) on various pad materials, micro-bumps, and pads as small as 20 μm, reducing the need for retesting and cleaning while covering the full thermal range at lower testing costs. Compared to traditional probes, the DCP-X provides 1000x lower contact resistance, minimal skate, and over 500,000 contact cycles, ensuring precise measurements and longer probe life.

Contact Intelligence

• Ease of use –  Less experienced operators can perform DC measurements by simply pushing a button. This reduces the need of experienced users full time on each system.
• Reduced Soak Time – The system will automatically re-align the probes to the pads if they drift from alignment. This reduces test time and increases throughput.
• Unattended Use – Measurements can be left running over night or the weekend, testing all devices on the wafer, and at different temperatures without the need of an operator.

• Highest accuracy with backlash-free positioning
• Drift-free measurements over temperature and time*
• Easy, and safe swapping between arms
• Best signal integrity using optimized probe cabling systems
• Full thermal capability*
• Manual or progammable

• Ease of use –  Less experienced operators can perform an RF calibration up to 330 GHz by simply pushing a button. This reduces the need of experienced users full time on each system.
• Reduced Soak Time – The system will automatically re-align the probes to the pads if they drift from alignment. This reduces test time and increases throughput.
• Unattended Use – Measurements can be left running over night or the weekend, testing all devices on the wafer, and at different temperatures without the need of an operator.
• Calibration Monitor and Re-calibration – System will continuously monitor calibration drift, and automatically re-calibrate the system should the drift exceed a predefined limit.
