The Tel P 8 XL Automatic Wafer Prober is an automatic wafer probing system. The Tel P 8 XL is manufactured by Tel.[1][2][3][4][5]
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAutomatic wafer probers are semiconductor test handling systems that position wafers for electrical contact by probe cards. Wafer probers are generally used during wafer sort to bring device pads or bumps into contact with test needles while test instrumentation measures device behavior.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWafer probers generally move a wafer on a precision stage beneath a probe card and align die locations to a programmed test plan. A wafer prober generally indexes from site to site so electrical test hardware can measure each die before the wafer proceeds to later manufacturing or assembly steps.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWafer probers sit in the electrical test flow at wafer level after wafer fabrication has produced devices that can be contacted on the wafer surface. Wafer probing typically occurs before dicing and packaging, and the resulting measurements are used for screening, characterization, mapping, and binning.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedAutomatic wafer probers are used for wafer sort and other forms of die level electrical verification. Typical applications include parametric measurements, functional checks, device characterization, engineering evaluation, and production screening on semiconductor wafers.
