Microwave Probes for RF Wafer Probing and On-Wafer Measurements
PICOPROBE 40-110: Coaxial Microwave Probes for Precise On-Wafer Measurements
The PICOPROBE 40-110 Series from GGB Industries comprises high-precision coaxial microwave probes designed for demanding RF wafer probing and reliable on-wafer measurements.
Applications range from RF and microwave to millimeter-wave measurement technology.
Precise electrical contacting of wafers and substrates provides the basis for stable and comparable measurement results, particularly for S-parameter analysis and other RF measurement tasks.
Coaxial Design for Reproducible On-Wafer Measurements
The patented coaxial design ensures controlled signal transmission to the probe tip and reduces losses and radiation effects compared with non-coaxial contacting concepts.
Individually spring-loaded tips made of beryllium copper, tungsten, or nickel provide reliable electrical contact. Direct visibility of the probe tips facilitates precise positioning and supports a reproducible measurement setup.
Your Benefits at a Glance:
- coaxial microwave probes for precise RF wafer probing
- reproducible on-wafer measurements for development and characterization
- stable signal transmission for comparable RF and microwave analysis
- flexible integration into laboratory and wafer test environments
- wide range of configurations and custom solutions available
Flexible Integration Into Laboratory and Wafer Test Environments
The PICOPROBE 40-110 Series is suitable for both manual laboratory setups and automated wafer test systems. Integration into existing probe stations is straightforward, and common contact configurations for direct on-wafer measurements are reliably supported.
Alternative Products:
For flexible RF measurements on small pads and hard-to-reach test points up to 11 GHz, we recommend the PICOPROBE® Model 10 Series with replaceable tips and variable ground configurations. For high-impedance, low-loading measurements of sensitive IC signals, the active PICOPROBE® Model 12C with 1 MΩ input resistance and 0.1 pF input capacitance up to 500 MHz is the more suitable alternative.

Supplier
GGB Industries, the inventor of the Picoprobe® line of microwave and oscilloscope probes, has been supplying probes for on-wafer measurements to the semiconductor industry since 1980, starting with a series of high-impedance probes for troubleshooting and diagnosing the internal operation of complex logic and memory chips. Since then, GGB has developed an impressive number of new, patented solutions. It is therefore fair to say that GGB’s strengths lie particularly in craftsmanship, precision, customer service, and problem-solving.
