Board Contact

This contact configuration features a  reusable removable sample board carrier.  As a result, researchers can prepare the sample directly on the board, which is then placed into the holder tip for a quick connection to an electrical connector with up to 8 contacts. Samples up to 3 x 6mm in size can be mounted on the standard board carrier. Electrical connections between the chip and the carrier are made using ultra-sonic wire bonding, allowing for at flexible connection between the contacts and the chip. Contact us for custom board configurations.

Direct Chip Contact

This contact configuration features a single chip that is directly inserted into the holder via a proprietary connector with up to 9 electrical contacts. The sample is prepared directly on the standard sample substrate chip.  Pre-patterned metal leads lead up to the electron transparent membrane onto which the sample is built.
