Terahertz near-field microprobes

A new way
to see.

Contactless, micron-scale THz near-field measurement — breaking the limits of conventional terahertz imaging for materials, wafers and chips.

What you can measure

Four ways to look closer.

One near-field platform, four measurement domains — from wafer characterization to buried-defect screening.

Thin-film inspection

Wafers, solar cells & 2D materials

Map sheet resistance and carrier mobility at micron-scale resolution — non-destructive, contactless probing of displays, flexible electronics and graphene.

Terahertz research

Metamaterials & plasmonics

Explore the near-field of emitters, waveguides, sensor surfaces and plasmonic structures with high-sensitivity, low-invasiveness microprobes.

Chip testing

Fault isolation & on-chip TDS

High-resolution time-domain reflectometry for fault isolation, package-level inspection and on-chip device characterization — sub-picosecond, contactless.

Volume screening

Defects in opaque materials

Inspect plastic laser welds, fiber-reinforced polymers and organic layers — detect micron-scale defects buried in visually opaque materials.

Application highlight

Watch ultrafast processes unfold.

Phenomena that take place in picoseconds, visualized in the near field with a TeraCube M2 imaging system. A new way to see real-world ultrafast electrodynamics.
