What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Automatic test equipment applies electrical stimuli to semiconductor devices and measures the responses against programmed limits. Test systems of this class are used to verify device functionality, parametric behavior, and interface performance during device development and manufacturing. Probe configurations are commonly used before singulation by contacting die on a wafer, while packaged-device configurations are used later in backend test flow.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Test and probe equipment sits in electrical verification steps rather than in deposition, lithography, etch, or metrology steps. In wafer sort, a tester works with probe hardware to screen die on the wafer before assembly. In final test, a tester exercises packaged devices after assembly and often after burn-in or other reliability-related screens.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Automatic test equipment of this class is used for logic, mixed-signal, RF, sensor, and power semiconductor devices. Engineers use such platforms for device characterization, production screening, debug, and yield monitoring across wafer-level and package-level electrical test operations.
