• HVCMOS-PCB2-connection.pdf: H35DEMO TCT PCB

Mechanical changes to setup

For edge TCT measurements a 90 degree angle mount was designed, which allows to mount the cold chuck so that the laser hits the sensor edge. Because of the additional height difference to the laser line, a base plate for lifting the laser was designed as well. This plate has to be placed under the motion stage plate for the laser optics and should be screwed to the bottom of the box. The angle mount can be screwed to the motion stage instead of the '3UBP - Universal Base Plate'
