A probe is an instrument or device used for testing, measuring or probing, usually made of metal or semiconductor material. Probes are used in a variety of scientific and engineering fields, such as electronics, nanotechnology, biology, and chemistry.
In electronics, probes usually refer to probes used to test circuits for measuring electrical parameters such as voltage, current, and resistance. Probes can be connected to test equipment, such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, etc., and are used to test and diagnose electronic devices, circuit boards, or chips. In nanotechnology, probes are usually devices used to measure and manipulate surface morphology, electrical properties, etc. at the nanoscale, such as scanning tunnelling microscopes (STMs), atomic force microscopes (AFMs), and so on. In the fields of biology and chemistry, probes can be tools used to detect biomolecules, chemical substances, etc., such as biosensors, fluorescent probes, etc.
Femtosecond laser device cutting of probe needles is an advanced processing method that is commonly used for micro- and nano-scale device preparation. Femtosecond lasers have the following advantages that make them ideal for cutting probe tips: femtosecond lasers are capable of cutting at the micron level, which makes them suitable for preparing tiny devices such as probe tips. The ultra-short pulse duration of femtosecond lasers means that there is virtually no heat-affected zone, so thermal distortion or damage during the cutting process can be avoided, maintaining the high quality of the probe tip. Femtosecond lasers can cut very fine structures and shapes, making them ideal for the processing of complex shaped micro devices such as probe tips. The high speed of femtosecond laser cutting enables efficient production, which is a great advantage for batch processing of tiny devices such as probe tips. Since there is virtually no thermal influence or mechanical stress during the femtosecond laser cutting process, damage and deformation of tiny devices such as probe tips can be minimised to a greater extent. Femtosecond laser technology is applicable to the processing of various materials, including metals, semiconductors, ceramics, etc., so it can meet the processing needs of probe tips of different materials.
Femtosecond laser equipment cutting probe tips has the advantages of high precision, no thermal influence, fine structure processing, high-efficiency processing, low-damage processing, and applicability to multiple materials, making it an ideal processing method for micro devices.
