What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wafer testers and probe tools are used to make electrical contact to structures on a wafer so measurements can be taken before devices are separated into individual parts. Wafer test equipment sits in semiconductor manufacturing and engineering flows where die level electrical behavior must be checked on intact wafers.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wafer test and probe equipment generally positions a wafer at a measurement location and brings probing hardware into contact with pads or other testable features. Wafer test and probe equipment generally works with an optical viewing and alignment arrangement so the contact point can be placed accurately before measurement. Wafer test and probe equipment generally interfaces with external instrumentation that applies signals and records electrical response from structures on the wafer.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wafer test and probe equipment is used after wafer fabrication has created the structures to be contacted and before assembly steps that separate or package individual devices. Wafer test and probe equipment supports screening, characterization, fault isolation, and process monitoring at the wafer stage.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wafer test and probe equipment is applied to electrical evaluation of semiconductor wafers in production, development, and failure analysis settings. Wafer test and probe equipment can be used for device characterization, parametric checks, contact verification, and investigation of wafer level defects or process variation.
