Turnkey Optoelectronic Probe and Test System with a Graphical User Interface (GUI)

August 28, 2018

Success Story – Canada

Customer Requirements:

  • Complete turnkey Semiautomatic Double-Sided Probing (DSP) System with Test Instrumentation for testing optoelectronic devices in wafer, partial wafer and in die forms over temperature and in a dark environment.
  • The system had to be configured to electrically test from the top of the wafer and optically detect an output from the bottom of the wafer.
  • The optical detector is located underneath the wafer and had to be moved in X, Y and Z using a programmable manipulator.
  • The devices needed to be heated and monitored from ambient to > 200 degrees.
  • All test instrumentation, cables, connectors and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) had to be provided

SemiProbe Solution:

Wafers, Partial Wafers and individual die can be probed. They are inserted in customized carriers and are mechanically held in place. The devices can be loaded on an adjacent bench or table and are easily inserted into and removed from the chuck assembly.  

Key System Components:

  • SA-8 semiautomatic probe system with programmable X,Y,Z and theta stage
  • Double Sided Prober (DSP) chuck assembly with carriers for wafers, partial wafers and individual die.
  • Zoom Tube optics with a CCTV System
  • Customized thermal system with integrated thermocouples for temperature feedback
  • Customized programmable backside detector unit for light optimization
  • Test Instrumentation, Cabling and Rack
  • Vibration Isolation Table, Dark Box and Dark Box Feedthru Interconnect Panel
  • Customized Graphical User Interface (GUI)
