Semi-automated wafer probing in a high vacuum environment

The PAV200 is a highly-precise semi-automated probe station for wafers and substrates up to 200 mm in a vacuum environment down to < 1×10-5 mbar. Designed for industrial environments and major research facilities, it supports a wide range of applications, including DC and RF measurements, MEMS and optoelectronic tests.

The PAV200 supports multiple optical instruments like IR radiation sources (black bodies). Up to eight probe positioners and/or a probe card can be integrated.
