What it is

The Micromanipulator 450 PM HR is a probe station. Probe stations are used to make electrical contact to individual devices on a semiconductor wafer for testing and characterization. The 450 PM HR is categorized under test and probe equipment.^[1]^[2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A probe station such as the Micromanipulator 450 PM HR operates by holding a wafer on a vacuum chuck and positioning fine metal probes onto target pads or test structures. The chuck can be moved in the X, Y, and Z axes, and often includes rotation for alignment. The probes are mounted on micromanipulators that allow precise positioning under a microscope.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The station is also employed in failure analysis to isolate defective structures on a wafer. Researchers may use it for material studies, such as measuring contact resistance or evaluating new device architectures. The manual control allows flexibility for non-standard test configurations.
