ABSTRACT:
A probe storage device includes a scanner chip having at least a suspension layer and a table layer an array chip, and at least one coil mounted to the scanner chip. The probe storage device further includes a top plate mounted proximate to the table layer. The top plate includes at least one magnet positioned adjacent the at least one coil. A base plate is mounted proximate to the suspension layer and includes at least one magnet positioned adjacent to the at least one coil. An electronic component mounting cavity is formed in one of the table layer, suspension layer, at least one top plate and base plate. An electronic component is mounted within the electronic component mounting cavity. The electronic component is wired directly to the scanner chip to provide a direct wired connection to that eliminates the need for a printed circuit board.
