What it is

The Cascade Microtech Summit 12000 B is a probe station.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Summit 12000 B uses a precision chuck to hold a wafer and manipulators to align probe tips to device pads. A microscope system aids in visual alignment. Electrical measurements are performed through the probe tips connected to external instrumentation.
