What it is

The Signatone S 1160 MW D 6 is a probe station in the test and probe equipment category. The Signatone S 1160 MW D 6 is for 6 inch wafers. The Signatone S 1160 MW D 6 is configured with 2x, 10x, and 20x eyepieces.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Probe stations combine a sample stage, a viewing system, and movable probe manipulators so an operator can position probes onto target features. Probe stations are used with external measurement instruments that source signals and read electrical response from the contacted device structures.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Probe stations sit in electrical characterization and analytical test flows rather than in production patterning, deposition, or etch steps. Probe stations are used after wafers or test structures exist and before package level evaluation when direct wafer or die contact is needed.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Probe stations are used for wafer level device testing, parametric measurements, process monitoring, and engineering evaluation of semiconductor structures. Probe stations are also used in laboratory work on dies, substrates, and other microelectronic samples that require precise electrical contact under visual observation.
