ABSTRACT:
A mechanical probe for optical measurement of electrical signals. The probe for optical measurement of electrical signals with high chronological resolution is composed of a cuboid electro-optical crystal, of a co-planar waveguide structure located on a lateral face of the crystal and of a metallic tip applied to the end face of the crystal adjacent a measuring location. The signal at the measuring location, for example at an interconnect of an integrated circuit is taken with the metallic tip and is fed into the co-planar waveguide structure composed of two strip-shaped metallizations. Probe holders or electrostrictive manipulators known in the art of electrical metrology (probe measuring location) can be used for exact positioning of the probe onto the measuring location.
