Cryogenic probe station Kilimanjaro 122

The HPD Kilimanjaro 122 is a superior 4K solution to meet all your probing needs. It aims to support our customers by addressing problems such as long turnaround times, high noise, and low signal capabilities. FormFactor’s superior knowledge of probing solutions and cryogenic systems puts us in the best position to help you meet your goals. To achieve true 4K temperatures this system employs cryogenic positioners to conduct probing operations. We have taken extra care to ensure all signals are well sunk before reaching your sample. All interfaces have been specially designed to block any radiation from disturbing your sample. The optical ports can be optionally fitted with light blocking shutters at both 4K and 50K to remove any parasitic heat loads. The result is a true 4K system with a temperature stability 5mK. Mechanical vibration is also a major issue for probing applications. Probe to device under test (DUT) displacement can cause damage to the sample and induce noise into the measurement. Triboelectric noise is also induced into the signals when mechanical vibrations travel through the cables. We employ flexible thermal jumpers and vacuum bellows to decouple the GM cryocooler from the rest of the system. Designed with customization in mind, the Kilimanjaro 122 provides many configurable ports to get your signals to your sample. There are multiple easily accessible vacuum feedthroughs, and many light blocking ports in each stage plate. This approach makes it simple to address whatever signal (DC, RF, FO) capabilities you may need.
