The Signatone S-96MW is a micropositioner. The Signatone S-96MW belongs to Signatone's probing equipment and accessories line for failure analysis and R&D.[1][2]
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedMicropositioners generally provide controlled mechanical motion for a probe or probe holder relative to a device under test. Micropositioners are commonly used alongside a probe station and microscope so contact can be made at selected pads, lines, or structures on a sample.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedMicropositioners fit into electrical characterization and debug workflows rather than into wafer fabrication process chambers. Micropositioners are typically used after structures have been fabricated and made accessible for probing, and before or during analytical measurement, troubleshooting, or design evaluation.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedMicropositioners are used where precise probe placement is needed for electrical access to small features on wafers, dies, or similar samples. Micropositioners support activities such as device characterization, signal access, fault isolation, and lab evaluation work.
