SemiProbe has developed a new low cost solar cell probe system for research applications.
Built on the modular patented Probe System for Life™ (PS4L) platform, the system allows users the flexibility to configure their test instruments to best suit their experiments. The video microscope slides into position for probe placement and out of the way to bring in an overhead solar simulator.
SemiProbe provides manual and semiautomatic probe systems for solar cell research applications primarily focused on characterizing materials and finished solar cells.
The flexibility of the PS4L platform allows users to modify their system as their test structures and procedures change.

“This platform allows us to provide custom probing configurations in a few weeks and with unsurpassed flexibility. The PS4L system continues to gain widespread acceptance in meeting the flexibility requirements of research and production disciplines from microelectronics, material science, biological and more.” - Mostafa Daoudi, VP of Engineering, SemiProbe
Modularity requirements, time to market pressures and limited research funding has all contributed to making the PS4L the ideal probing platform. The same system can be perpetually field upgraded as needs and budgets change.
