Model FWPX Cryogenic Probe Station

Model FWPX features

• Largest wafer sample size: 4 in
• Sample translation for rapid probing
• Customizable to accept 6-in wafers
• Includes PC with MeasureLINK™ software

Lake Shore’s FWPX probe station is designed for researchers who require large-size wafer probing. The FWPX accommodates wafers up to 102 mm (4 in) in diameter and can be modified to accept up to 152 mm (6 in) wafers. This general-purpose probe station is designed for researchers or engineers conducting material characterization tests over large samples. It is also an effective unit for measuring organic materials.

The FWPX employs a continuous refrigeration system using either liquid helium or liquid nitrogen for wafer cooling. It operates over a temperature range of 4.5 K to 475 K with the option to extend the base temperature to 3.5 K. I-V, C-V, and microwave measurements are standard. The station is configurable with up to six thermally anchored micro-manipulated probe arms and is optimally designed for electro-optical testing.

The station also ships with a PC workstation with our versatile MeasureLINK software included. This software provides complete coordination over the experiment with no programming required. Using drag-and-drop control, you can easily control temperature for on-wafer probing measurements performed in a station. Set up either discrete or continuously varying temperature measurements when using our CVT probes in your station and watch how temperature stabilizes while reaching a set control temperature. MeasureLINK also enables data collection visualization in real-time and allows you to create a specific multi-variable chart for any data-collection sequence.
