What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

A wafer prober is semiconductor test handling equipment that brings a processed wafer into controlled contact with probe needles or a probe card so electrical measurements can be made on individual die before separation. Wafer probers are used to position wafers accurately under a test interface and to step from site to site across the wafer during electrical characterization or production screening.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wafer probers generally hold a wafer on a stage, align the wafer to a reference, and move the stage so device pads meet the probe interface at each test location. Wafer probers generally work together with external test instrumentation that applies signals and records electrical responses from each contacted die.

Wafer probing generally depends on precise motion control, optical alignment, controlled contact force, and repeatable indexing between die locations. Wafer probers commonly support mapping of pass and fail results so later handling steps can distinguish known good die from rejected sites.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wafer probing sits after wafer fabrication has created electrically testable structures and before dicing or packaging separates the individual die. Wafer probing provides die level electrical data that can guide disposition, yield analysis, and selection of die for downstream assembly.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wafer probers are used for electrical test, device characterization, process monitoring, and fault isolation on semiconductor wafers. Wafer probers can be applied to integrated circuits, discrete devices, sensors, and other wafer level devices that present contact pads suitable for probing.
