What it is

The Teradyne Nextest Magnum II X GV is an automatic test equipment (ATE) system used for semiconductor test and probe operations.[1][2]

The Magnum II X GV tester includes a test head with 8 chassis and provides 4096 total test channels.[1][2]

The system is controlled by a Dell T3500 computer running the Windows Server 2003 operating system.[1][2]

How it works

The Magnum II X GV configuration includes HSB 3 boards, PE 63 boards, DP3X boards, IPC boards, DBM memory, ECRM memory, RCM memory, and DPO boards.[1][2]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Magnum II X GV sits in the test and probe step of semiconductor manufacturing, which occurs after wafer fabrication and before final packaging.

In this process step, the tester performs electrical parametric and functional tests on individual die while they are still on the wafer, typically through a probe card.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Magnum II X GV is used for testing semiconductor devices, including digital logic and memory components.

The system supports probe testing at the wafer level and final test of packaged parts.
