How does Zyvex insure ohmic contact during probing?
Fortunately, all of the probing done with Zyvex systems is in vacuum and thus there is not a continuous stream of contamination agents. There are three factors that Zyvex manages to achieve low ohmic contact. First, Zyvex uses the Optimizer to insure a carbon free environment on the sample. Secondly, Zyvex has a unique in situ probe cleaning method to insure pure tungsten ohmic contact with the probes. Thirdly, Zyvex has a recommended procedure to clean the sample prior to probing. Zyvex also has a contact optimization feedback loop so the user can monitor the quality of the contact in real time.
