FormFactor (Cascade Microtech) High-Current Probe (HCP)

FormFactor (Cascade Microtech) High-Current Probe (HCP)

Test power devices on wafer with high-performance and low-contact resistance on smaller pads

  • Minimal contact resistance at the pad-tip junction to reduce heating during measurements, with fewer probe marks
  • Measure devices on wafer at high-current conditions over a wide temperature range (-55°C to 300°C)
  • Small scrub minimizes damage on Al pad
  • Small footprint – tip for small pad probing down to 1 mm x 1 mm pad

Description

High Current Probe

FormFactor Beaverton High-Current Probe

High Current Probe

HCP PROBE

FormFactor Beaverton’s High-Current Probe (HCP) reduces probe and/or device destruction at high currents. It supports 10 A DC and up to 100 A of pulsed current. By design, the probe tip minimizes contact resistance at the wafer-to-probe interface to prevent device heating at the tip. The innovative multi-finger probe tip design distributes current evenly over multiple contact points and is joined by a single heat sink that pulls pull heat from the probe tip. FormFactor Beaverton High-Current Probe

Designed specifically for testing power devices on wafer, the HCP probe reduces probe and device destruction at high currents by minimizing contact resistance at the wafer-to-probe interface to prevent device heating at the tip. The innovative multi-finger design distributes the current over multiple contact points at the tip and is joined by a single heatsink which pulls heat from the probe tip.
