Overview

The Hitachi NP6800 is a SEM-based dedicated probing system designed to meet the analytical needs of the 10-nm design node semiconductor device and beyond. The precision piezoelectric-driven actuator is equipped with X, Y and Z axes probe movements allowing the probes to be controlled very precisely for measuring the electrical characteristics of a single MOS transistor. The design concept was to create an easy-to-use probing system (like an optical probing system) while maintaining this same ease of operation even under the vacuum environment through our intuitive probe operation design.
