DC, RF and Optical Probe Positioning for Highest Accuracy Measurements

FormFactor offers a wide variety of manual and motorized probe positioners for any application from DC to terahertz measurements and beyond.

PureLine 3 Technology

• Provides an effectively noise free environment around the device under test (DUT)
• First automated probe station to achieve -190dB spectral noise*
• Up to 32x lower noise (1kHz), for improved device characterization and modelling at the 7/5/2 nm technology nodes targeted for 5G and beyond applications
• Eliminates over 97% of the environmental noise experienced in previous probe systems
• Extensive collection of FormFactor patents, electrical design knowledge, and measurement system IP

Plug In and Go

• World’s first probe station with integrated TestCell Power Management (a TestCell is a connected set of equipment, including test software, instruments, probe station, thermal system, and related measurement accessories such as cables and on-wafer probes)
• Eliminates all ground-loop induced TestCell noise
• Low field emissions
• Provides fully managed and filtered AC power to the entire system, prober and instruments
