P 12 XL
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIt is used in semiconductor test flows to position wafers for electrical probing and related evaluation before later assembly or further sort steps.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA wafer prober mechanically aligns a wafer, brings probe hardware into contact with selected sites, and enables electrical measurements on dies or structures across the wafer. The platform combines precision motion, alignment, and contact control so test equipment can address specific locations repeatably.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn the semiconductor flow, a wafer prober sits in the test and characterization stage, between wafer fabrication and downstream assembly or final package test. It is used while the wafer is still intact so individual devices or test structures can be evaluated at the wafer level.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThis class of equipment is used for wafer-level electrical test, parametric characterization, and device screening on semiconductor wafers. It is also used for probing test structures during process development and manufacturing control.
