  • Patent number: 10698002
    Abstract: Probe systems for testing a device under test are disclosed herein. The probe systems include a platen that defines an upper surface, an opposed lower surface, and a platen aperture. The probe systems also include a chuck that defines a support surface configured to support a device under test. The probe systems further include a lower enclosure extending from the lower surface of the platen and an upper enclosure extending from the upper surface of the platen. The upper enclosure includes a side wall that defines a side wall aperture, and the side wall and the platen define an intersection angle of at least 30 degrees and at most 60 degrees. The probe systems also include a manipulator, a probe shaft arm, a probe assembly, a test head, and an electrical conductor.

  • Patent number: 7876115
    Abstract: A chuck includes a conductive element that contacts a device under test in a location on the chuck. The chuck includes an upper surface for supporting a device under test and a conductive element that extends through the chuck to the upper surface of the chuck. The conductive element is electrically isolated from the upper surface of the chuck, and makes electrical contact with any device under test supported by the chuck.

  • Patent number: 6777964
    Abstract: A probe station.               ABSTRACT IS TOO SHORT. We have to do something to make this paragraph longer so that Xyvision will allow us to print it out so I am adding some 50 extra words so that it will hopefully let us print it out so that we can proof the file. PLEASE REMOVE THIS EXTRA DATA.
