What it is

The MPI TS 3500 Automatic Wafer is an automated wafer prober used for test and probe work on wafers.[4][1]

The TS 3500 is a 300 mm fully automated probe station in the TS3500 series, and the series includes WaferWallet-equipped configurations.[2][3]

How it works

The TS 3500 uses programmable chuck motion, programmable microscope motion, wafer pre-alignment, and cassette handling features to automate wafer loading and probing.[3]

The TS 3500 series supports wafer loading through manual trays, cassette-based loading, and WaferWallet options for automated handling.[2][3]

Where it fits in the process flow

The TS 3500 supports device characterization, design validation, failure analysis, wafer-level reliability work, and product engineering workflows.[2][3]

Applications

The TS 3500 is used for DC-IV, DC-CV, pulsed-IV, RF, mmW, load-pull, and four-port measurements.[5][3]
