Further Information
What is a Cryogenic Probe Station?
A cryogenic probe station is a modular, high-precision laboratory instrument designed for electrical, optical, and microwave measurements of materials, devices, or semiconductor wafers at cryogenic temperatures, typically ranging from below 4 K up to 800 K.
Core Components of a Cryogenic Probe Station:
- Vacuum Chamber: Provides a clean, stable environment for samples; ultra-high vacuum options minimise contamination.
- Cryocooling System: Uses closed-cycle or liquid cryogen cooling to reach temperatures below 4 K, with low vibration for sensitive measurements.
- Sample Chuck: Conductively cooled, electrically isolated, and biasable; supports precise temperature control from cryogenic to high temperatures.
- Probe Arms: Modular arms for DC, RF, or fibre-optic measurements, mounted on precision micropositioners for accurate, repeatable contact.
- Optical Access: Viewports and in-vacuum microscopy enable visual alignment and monitoring
