Whether you're working with large wafers, multiple devices, or complex instrumentation, sample space limitations can quickly become a challenge. Limited space can restrict experimental flexibility, forcing compromises in sample size, device count, or supporting hardware.
This is where our CCS-CP large sample space cryostats can help. Available with cold plates ranging from 100 mm (4 in) to 300 mm (12 in) in diameter, these systems are ideal for experiments involving large wafers, multiple devices, or sophisticated experimental setups within a single cryogenic environment. Better still, as closed-cycle refrigerator cryostats, they operate cryogen-free, eliminating the need for liquid helium refills.
These cryostats are particularly valuable for quantum computing device research, enabling researchers to:
- Prescreen multiple qubit devices simultaneously before dilution refrigerator evaluation
- Accommodate larger wafers and packaged devices for testing integrated quantum hardware assemblies
- Provide additional room for microwave and RF hardware, including attenuators, filters, and other cryogenic components required for qubit control
- Support increased wiring densities, enabling more DC, RF, and microwave connections and higher channel counts
- Facilitate advanced experiments using custom fixtures, cryogenic electronics, and multi-chip configurations that would not fit within smaller sample spaces
In addition, CCS-CP cryostats are well suited to a wide range of other applications, including:
- Wafer-level semiconductor characterization where multiple device structures must be measured in parallel
- Cryo-CMOS electronics measurements that compare multiple circuits under identical thermal conditions
- Cryogenic detector R&D involving multiple sensors, readout electronics, and calibration hardware operating simultaneously
- Superconducting device characterization requiring high channel counts, microwave interconnects, and high-density signal-routing configurations
- Spaceflight sensor and instrument testing involving large cryogenic assemblies and extended qualification routines without helium refills
- Any low-temperature experimental setup incorporating sample-positioning stages or specialized instrumentation that would not fit within a conventional cryostat sample space
