FormFactor - Cascade QuadCard™ - Cost-effective, versatile probe card solution
-
Accommodates a combination of up to four Cascade Microtech probes
-
Configurable for mixed-signal RF/mmW testing
-
Quick and easy repairs to be performed in the field, by simply replacing individual probes
-
Adaptable to new device layouts by exchanging individual probes
The QuadCard probe card is the industry’s first configurable, multi-quadrant probe adapter that employs innovative fine probe aligners to mount up to four FormFactor probes on a single probe card. It is designed to accommodate a combination of our probes such as Infinity Probes®, ACP probes, |Z| Probes® and Multi-|Z| Probes, which are aligned individually by the fine probe aligners.

High probing angle and clearance
-
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.
-
Application flexibility: Coax, Triax, RF/mmW, High Power, Double Sided
-
Temperatures range from -60°C to +300°C
-
Up to 25% lower air consumption (CDA) than other systems on the market with no compromise in transition times
