Your one stop shop for Four Point Probe Heads
MPP probes are compatible with wafer resistivity measurement equipment brands such as:
KLA, Filmetrics, Kokusai, Napson, Semilab, Signatone and other tabletop equipment manufacturers
MPP's Probe History
The origins of MPP’s probes are rooted in the A&M Fell, the first industrial 4 point probe head.
In 2010 MPP (Micro Point Pro) acquired the probe head production line including the IP, production equipment and key employees and process knowhow and has since continued leading the 4PP market.

Probe Types
- Fell Probe:
- Provide the best solution for reliable resistivity measurements, achieved by accurate probe head geometry.
- The Fell body and lower guide made of brass, providing an extremely stable mass for the precision machined parts.
- Disposable Probe:
- Offer inexpensive means of obtaining resistivity measurements while retaining a precision probe head geometry.
- The Disposable body is made of an extremely stable plastic with high impact strength:
- Have a high electrical resistance.
- The body’s gray color was meticulously selected to reduce the effect of light reflection
- Aluminum Probe:
- The Aluminum body allows an intermediate solution between the Fell body and the Disposable body.
- Allows tight tolerances as Fell yet less expensive solution
Probe’s Needles
- Made of a high-grade high-speed steel to achieve extremely low resistance.
- Tips are made of either Tungsten Carbide or Osmium Alloy to provide options between durability and improved electrical contact.
- Independently adjusted pressure of each needle eliminating tolerance variations.
- Each spring is fitted with Ruby Jewels to provide smoother operation and additional leakage protection.
- MPP supports customized needles and Probe heads
