What it is

The Accretech AP 3000 is a probe tool used for semiconductor testing.[1][2]

The AP 3000 e is an automatic wafer prober.[3]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A wafer prober positions a semiconductor wafer under probe contacts so electrical measurements can be made at the wafer level.

A prober of this class uses a precision stage, wafer handling hardware, alignment optics, and a contact chuck or probe interface to connect the wafer under test to external test instrumentation.

Where it fits in the process flow

The AP 3000 e is used with an external tester, and it is compatible with an HP93K 12-inch POGO type tester.[2]

Applications

The AP 3000 e is used for semiconductor wafer testing.[2]

The AP 3000 e supports tri-temp testing, which suits qualification and evaluation work that needs electrical measurements under changing thermal conditions.[2]
