The Prober Shuttle is our latest tool for high-precision in-situ electrical nanoprobing. In order to realise our vision for this product, we developed an ultra-flat three-axis manipulator with unmatched stability and precision - the MM4. The Prober Shuttle can be comprised of either two or four MM4s with the option of an ultra-flat two-axis or three-axis substage.
Due to limitations in the number of contacts available on the PhenomXL's vacuum feedthrough setup, a maximum of four micromanipulators can be driven in this setup. So, if the substage is required, only three probes can be used. Most users will be perfectly happy with a four-probe setup sans substage, though.
The Prober Shuttle also offers low-current, low-capacity measurement capability and is fully compatible to the Advanced Probing Tools hardware and software suite including the Live Contact Tester and Electron Beam Induced Current imaging modules.
