What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe MPI Taper is a test and probe machine used for wafer probing in semiconductor work. Wafer probers position a wafer for electrical contact by probe needles or probe cards so devices or test structures can be measured before dicing and packaging.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWafer probers bring a wafer into controlled mechanical alignment under a probing head and make temporary electrical contact to pads or bumps on the wafer. Semi-automatic probers typically combine manual loading and operator setup with motorized or guided movement for positioning, contact, and stepping between test locations.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWafer probing sits after wafer fabrication and before singulation and package assembly. Probe operations are used to electrically evaluate devices, monitor parametric structures, and support yield learning while the circuits are still on the wafer.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedTest and probe equipment is used for wafer level electrical measurements on semiconductor devices and process control structures. Probe work can support device characterization, failure analysis, parametric verification, and production screening depending on the probe card, instrumentation, and test method attached to the prober.
