Overview
Current In-Plane Tunneling (CIPT) uses a four-point probe setup to determine characteristic properties of tunnel junctions by measuring resistance at different probe spacings. There are a number of different probe types available to enable the measurement of a large range of samples and wafers.
 
The Standard Probe is available on either a ceramic carrier, as is the case for the CER-1M-007, or on the PCB carrier for SmartProber Instruments. Other options include either a Au coating or a Pt coating on the pins.  Pt coating probes have higher lifetimes than that Au, at the cost of a higher contact resistance.
