Liquid Helium, Liquid Nitrogen and Cryogen Free
Micro-manipulated Cryogenic & Vacuum Probe Systems for Chips, Wafers and Device Testing from ~3.5 K to 675 K
Janis micromanipulated probe stations are designed for non-destructive electrical testing using DC, RF, and fiber-optic probes. They are useful in a variety of fields including semiconductors, MEMS, superconductivity, electronics, ferroelectrics, material science, physics and optics. Either LHe/LN2 or a mechanical closed cycle refrigerator provides cooling. Different models locate the sample in ultra-high vacuum (UHV), ultra-high temperature (to 675 K), and magnetic field.
Please click here to download the probe station requirement questionnaire (212 KB). Since we have many different options for our probe stations, fill the questionnaire out and submit to Janis. Once we determine a suitable configuration for your system and the options needed, we will quickly respond with complete system specifications and a quote.
