Abstract: A temperature-control device (1) is provided for controlling the temperature of a prober table (110) for semiconductor wafers and/or hybrids. The device has a fluid inlet (10) for introducing a temperature-control fluid into the temperature-control device (1) and a first heat exchanger (20) for preliminary control of the temperature of the temperature-control fluid that is introduced. A second heat exchanger (30) is used to control the temperature of the temperature-control fluid. The temperature-controlled temperature-control fluid can be conducted to the prober table (110) through a prober temperature-control line (40). A return circuit (60) is configured, so that upon receiving a return switch signal, the return circuit (60) selectively either conducts a temperature-control fluid returned from the prober table (110) through the first heat exchanger (20) or allows the temperature control fluid to flow out bypassing the first heat exchanger (20).
