    摘要: A chuck with triaxial construction comprises a receiving surface for a test substrate and arranged below the receiving surface: an electrically conductive first surface element, an electrically conductive second surface element electrically insulated therefrom, and an electrically conductive third surface element electrically insulated therefrom, and, between the first and the second surface element, a first insulation element and, between the second and the third surface element, a second insulation element. A chuck for very low current measurements which can be used to prevent the occurrence of leakage currents and a triboelectric charge and which is configured favourably in terms of production, is achieved because at least one of the electrically conductive surface elements is mechanically connected to at least one insulation element and has an elasticity that compensates for an expansion difference resulting from differences in different coefficients of expansion between a respective surface element and an adjoining insulation element.

    摘要: The invention, which relates to a test apparatus with loading device which has a chuck, which is provided with a bearing surface for a test substrate and with a chuck drive, by means of which the chuck can be displaced with a working area, and which has a receiving means for receiving test substrates, which can be displaced from a working area of the chuck to a receiving position outside the working area, is based on the object of increasing the accuracy of the movement of the chuck. Moreover, in the case of test apparatus with a controlled atmosphere, a further object is to prevent the chuck from being exposed to the open-air atmosphere. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that a carriage, which can be displaced between a position close to the chuck, in which the chuck is located in a position inside the working area, and the receiving position, is provided, which carriage is provided with a holder, in which the test substrate can be at least indirectly inserted in such a way that the test substrate, when the carriage is in the position close to the chuck, is located above the chuck. The holder and the chuck can move vertically relative to one another when the carriage is in the position close to the chuck.

    摘要: A focused multi-planar image acquisition in real time even while a test object is moving, is achieved with a system and a method for a focused multi-planar image acquisition in a prober. When a surface of a test object is positioned laterally in relation to tips of separated probe needles, a microscope is focused on the surface of the test object at a first time and on a plane of the probe needles at a second time. The objective lens is provided with a microscope objective lens focusing system, which can focus the objective lens, independently of a vertical adjustment drive of the microscope, on the surface of the test object in a first focal plane and in a second focal plane, which is on a level with the probe needle tips.

    摘要: A method is provided for increasing the accuracy of the positioning of a first object relative to a second object. The method overcomes the disadvantageous influence of thermal drift between a first and a second object during a positioning of a first object on a second object. The method finds applications in manufacturing, for example, in the manufacturing of semiconductor components. The method utilizes recognition of structures on the second object which have a minimum structure width. At a first instant, using one recognition procedure, the first object is positioned on the second object in a desired position. The relative displacement of the two objects is determined at the first instant and on at least one subsequent instant. A second recognition procedure may be used for this purpose. The second recognition procedure may have a resolution accuracy which is different than the resolution accuracy of the first resolution procedure. The second recognition procedure may be a pattern recognition method. The relative displacement determined at the second instant is used to correct the positioning of the first and second objects as necessary to maintain a desired position of the two objects.
