Non-Contact Probes for On-Wafer Characterization of THz Devices and Integrated Circuits

A New Approach for On-wafer Measurements:

TeraProbes Inc – provides world’s first non-contact metrology solution for high frequency electronic device and IC testing. Our proprietary test-bed consists of an automated probe station and virtual, contact-less probe tips, enabling -for the first time- automated S-parameter characterization of electronic devices and ICs for the entire mmW and THz bands. TeraProbes test-bed is fully-automated, enabling unattended inspection of every single chip on a wafer at the fraction of the current cost. TeraProbes disruptive approach embodies the following functionality at the fraction of current cost:

• On-wafer S-parameter measurements in the mmW and THz bands
• No wear-and-tear, eliminating key shortcomings of contact-based microprobes
• Sub-micron alignment repeatability for reliable and repeatable measurements
• Multi-port device and IC characterization enabled by accurate on-wafer calibration
• Universal, cost-effective test-bed for the entire mmW-THz band

TeraProbes support services include custom designs of the non-contact probes for your particular application needs.
