Elliot Scientific is pleased to be able to offer the latest range of cryogenic micro-manipulated probe stations from Lake Shore Cryotronics. The new streamlined product portfolio includes table-top, superconducting and electromagnet-based, full 4-inch wafer and closed cycle refrigerator based probe stations. The innovative designs provide greater flexibility and expandability by providing in-field upgrade paths, ensuring probe stations keep up with demanding and ever changing research requirements.

The table-top series offer high performance at low cost with a compact footprint. Up to six micro-manipulated probe arms are operable from 4.2 K (3.2 K as an option) to 475 K and optical access through the sample stage allows for back illumination and facilitates optical transmission experiments. The field upgradeable series is available with up to six micro-manipulated probe arms operable from 4.2 K to 475 K. Multiple radiation shields to minimize cryogen consumption, ± 5° sample stage rotation and condensation reduction for the device under test (DUT) while the system cools are standard features. Options include temperatures down to 1.5 K, high vacuum to 10^-7 Torr – to ensure that condensation does not accumulate in the sample environment during cooldown – and loadlock that allows sample exchange under controlled environmental conditions without warming the radiation shields or breaking vacuum.  The superconducting magnet series provides either a 2.5 T vertical or 1 T horizontal field and are operable from 4.2 K to 400 K. Based on the field upgradeable series, they have the same standard features plus high vacuum and  2 K base temperature options that can be installed in the field or at the factory to increase functionality. The electromagnet series provides a 0.55 T horizontal field and is operable from 5 K to 400 K. This is the only cryogenic electromagnet-based probe station available with optional 360° sample stage rotation allowing you to take field dependent measurements at ambient temperature. Thus reducing dependency on liquid cryogens (which are only required to cool the DUT). The full wafer probe station series provides the ability to probe any point on a full 4-inch wafer and features a temperature range extending from 4.5 K to 475 K. The closed cycle refrigerator series provides efficient temperature operation, eliminating the operating expense of liquid cryogens. Excellent temperature stability of 10 mK and vibration limited to <1 μm is achieved throughout the temperature range. Optimised multiple control heaters provide the probe station with fast thermal response and rapid warm-up for sample exchange. Lake Shore probe stations provide a platform for measurement of electrical, electro-optical, parametric, high Z, DC, RF and microwave (to 67 GHz) properties of materials and test devices. Nanoscale electronics, quantum wires and dots, semiconductors, superconductors and spintronic devices are typical materials measured. A wide selection of dedicated probe stations, options and accessories make it possible to configure a Lake Shore micro-manipulated probe station to meet your specific measurement applications while working within your budget.
