The M150 Measurement Platform provides high-performance and precision electrical-measurement capabilities for any type of 150-mm device on a single platform. This platform has a configurable design that can make DC to 220-GHz measurements for the research and development of wafers, packages, boards, MEMS, and biological materials. Users can buy either a preconfigured application-specific system or configure their own system online.

With base prices that range from $7000 to $19,000, the platforms are affordable while offering users sufficient flexibility to switch between applications within minutes by adding accessory kits that cost from $5000 to $35,000. The M150 is compatible with the company’s L-Series Microfluidics Metrology Systems.
