The FormFactor / Cascade Microtech / Alessi REL 4500 is a 6-inch manual analytical wafer prober. The FormFactor Alessi REL 4500 Wafer belongs to the Alessi REL family in the Test & Probe category.[1][2]
A manual analytical wafer prober operates by holding a wafer on a vacuum chuck that can be moved in the X, Y, and Z axes. The operator uses a microscope to visually align probe tips to contact pads on the device under test. Precision manipulators allow fine adjustment of probe position to achieve reliable electrical contact.
In a semiconductor fab flow, the prober follows steps such as deposition, lithography, and etching. Probing allows engineers to evaluate electrical parameters and yield without committing to full packaging.
Material types commonly probed include silicon, III-V compounds, and other semiconductor substrates. The prober supports a range of device types, including discrete transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits.
