 Probes, Probe Tips, and Cables — Required User Configurable Equipment

 
ZI50 DC/RF PROBES
  • Ideal for: DC biasing, low/high frequency measurements, low noise shielded, and low-leakage guarded measurement
  • ZI50 probe base is linked to the sample stage to dynamically cool/heat the probe to the sample temperature
  • SMA connector mounted directly to an alumina ceramic blade with a 50 W stripline routed to the probe contact

SAMPLE HOLDERS (CHUCKS)

Typical sample holder configuration characterized by:

  • Leakage resistance between
    • Top surface and guard
    • Guard and ground
  • Capacitance between
    • Top surface and guard
    • Guard and ground

Types of sample holders

  • Grounded sample holder — sample mount surface at system ground
  • Isolated sample holder—backside contact not needed; sample mount surface is electrically non-conductive and isolated from ground
  • Coaxial sample holder—backside contact can be made; sample mount surface is isolated from ground
  • Triaxial sample holder—guarded backside contact can be made; sample mount surface has guarded isolation from ground
