attoCPS I
ultra stable cryogenic probe station
:.........................................................................................

In the attoCPS I probe station configuration, four nanomanipulated probe arms realized with attocube systems’ unique nanopositioning devices offer highest positioning accuracy over mm range. Thus, the probes can be positioned accurately on the desired sample contact pad. The sample is fixed and thus enables additional contacting via high frequency coaxial wires if desired.
Optical inspection of the sample / probes is provided via a CCD camera and sample illumination via IR-LED. This innovative system enables multiple device testing within one cooling cycle, supporting our customers to produce scientific results reliably and time efficient.
