Abstract:
Thermal chuck comprises a chuck for holding the test device, a thermal unit for altering the chuck temperature, a controller that powers the thermal unit and a conductor which is coupled via a capacitor with the thermal unit but which has no direct connection to the unit. Conductor and controller are connected so that all thermal unit capacitative currents can be fed back to the controller.
Abstract:
A cable includes an inner conductor, an inner dielectric, and a guard conductor, where the inner dielectric is between the inner conductor and the guard conductor. The cable also includes an outer dielectric, and a shield conductor, where the outer dielectric is between the guard conductor and the shield conductor. The cable further includes an additional layer of material between the outer dielectric and the shield conductor of suitable composition for reducing triboelectric current generation between the outer dielectric and the shield conductor to less than that which would occur were the outer dielectric and the shield conductor to directly adjoin each other.
