Introducing the FormFactor Cascade PM300 300 mm manual probe system

Cascade PM300 probe system from FormFactor is the ideal solution for engineering tests of 300 mm wafers and substrates. Whatever your application, the versatility of the PM300 meets all requirements from failure analysis (FA) to device and wafer characterization (DWC) to wafer-level reliability (WLR) testing and always ensures the highest accuracy. With the optional square chuck, the PM300 can be also used for testing of flat panel displays.

The superior mechanics of the probe system are the basis for stable and precise system setup regardless of your application. The X and Y axes of the chuck stage can be moved easily and individually for fast coarse adjustment. Each axis has been designed with an individual magnetic lock and a vacuum brake that enables the fine glide chuck stage to be exactly positioned whenever you release the button. Fine adjustment is ensured for X and Y by high-precision micrometers.

The PM300 has been designed with the user in mind. You can start out with the basic setup of the PM300 and the system is scalable to meet your expanding test requirements. For example, light-sensitive measurements in a ShieldEnclosure™,thermal chucks or various high-frequency test setups up to mmW are available. Further flexibility is achievable with motorized probe positioners.
