Addressing the Challenges of Small Pad Probing
Smaller pads not only utilize less device real estate, they also allow sacrificial test structures to be placed in scribe lines, meaning process control monitoring and device characterization can be performed without using valuable space for sellable circuits. Probing pads with large dimensions is relatively simple with conventional probe technologies.

Tech Brief: Addressing the Challenges of Small Pad Probing
LED Test- Challenges for Equipment Manufacturers
As markets for display backlighting and solid-state lighting grow, equipment vendors adapt to meet the needs of a rapidly changing industry. New equipment must accommodate the range of test configurations found across the spectrum of manufacturers. At the same time, the equipment must keep the cost of test low to help reduce the overall cost of LEDs and contribute to the successful adoption of LED technology in consumer applications.
A Complete Solution for Confident RF Measurements – Right Out of the Box
Now available – the EPS200RF – an application-focused package that is a complete manual solution for best-in-class RF measurement results up to 67 GHz. Based on leading technology in RF probing and probe system design, this SMART package solution is the key to achieving accurate measurement results in the shortest time—with maximum confidence. The EPS200RF addresses common requirements of universities, start-ups and shared R&D labs such as calibration consistency and measurement accuracy achieved with minimum effort. The out-of-the-box solution enables probing on pads as small as 25 µm x 35 µm with minimal operator training. Read more ...
InfinityQuad Highly Accurate Small Pad Probing
InfinityQuad™ is the only multi-contact quadrant probe capable of automated over temperature measurement on pads as small as 30 µm x 50 µm. For repeatable and precise engineering tests of DC, logic, RF and mmWave RFIC devices, the InfinityQuad probe ensures reliable measurement results up to 110 GHz over a wide temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). The durable probe tips with small contact area of ~10 μm diameter ensure more than 250,000 touchdowns on Al pads, and provide accurate X, Y and Z alignment. Customizable configuration up to 25 contacts: RF, Eye-Pass power, ground, logic. Read more ...
