Model CPX Cryogenic Probe Station

Model CPX features

• Lake&nbspShore’s most versatile probe station
• Numerous options and configurations available
• Multiple radiation shields for best low temperature performance
• Minimizes sample condensation during cool-down
• Customizable for sample transfer with no exposure to atmosphere
• Customizable to accommodate a 4 in wafer
• Includes PC with MeasureLINK™ software

With a modular design to meet the needs of a breadth of experiments, the Model CPX is Lake&nbspShore’s most versatile, high performance cryogenic probe station. Various options and configurations on the CPX enable the researcher to conduct exacting, challenging test measurements. The CPX has multiple radiation shields to provide Lake Shore’s best low-temperature performance with configurations enabling sample temperatures as low as 1.6 K. Multiple temperature sensors throughout the station ensure accurate, repeated measurements.

Due to the split flow design, the sample stays warm while the shields cool, which, along with the high vacuum option, minimizes sample condensation during cool-down—a key requirement for measuring hydrophilic organic materials. Ideal applications include research in organics and microwave measurements. Vacuum load-locks are configurable for conducting high-throughput measurements. In addition, the CPX can be configured to enable controlled sample transport under vacuum to the chamber. The CPX accommodates 51 mm (2 in) diameter wafers (up to 102 mm [4 in] optional). The system operates with either liquid helium or liquid nitrogen.

The station also ships with a PC workstation with our versatile MeasureLINK software included. This software provides complete coordination over the experiment with no programming required. Using drag-and-drop control, you can easily control temperature for on-wafer probing measurements performed in a station. Set up either discrete or continuously varying temperature measurements when using our CVT probes in your station and watch how temperature stabilizes while reaching a set control temperature. MeasureLINK also enables data collection visualization in real-time and allows you to create a specific multi-variable chart for any data-collection sequence.
