To reduce the time to make measurements and the noise in measurements obtained by probing a device supported on surface of a thermal chuck in a probe station, a conductive member is arranged to intercept current coupling the thermal unit of the chuck to the surface supporting the device. The conductive member is capacitively coupled to the thermal unit but free of direct electrical connection thereto.
We claim: 1. A thermal chuck including a surface for supporting a device under test, said thermal chuck comprising: (a) an electrically powered thermal unit for modifying a temperature of said surface; and (b) a first conductive member substantially enclosing said thermal unit and including a porti
