Abstract

The present disclosure describes a probe design to measure cycles of microdevices. In particular, the probe comprises, electrodes, dielectric, stimulating capacitor, voltage stimulating source for time varying stimulating voltage signal and a series switch to control biasing condition. The probe structure further has a probe tip and resting pads (ring shape or otherwise) along with a leveling mechanism and apparatus. The disclosure also describes a method to measure cycles of microdevices using the probe structure.
