In-situ Stretchable Probe System

The In-situ Stretchable Probe System enables precise electrical characterization of stretchable substrates, eliminating variability from clamping pressure. Designed for high-accuracy testing, it operates at up to 450°C without a cooling unit and ensures stable contact during expansion and return cycles. Furthermore, the system allows real-time measurement of FET device characteristics, synchronized with the expansion and return of the stretchable substrate.
