Success Story - MEMS Semiautomatic Wafer Prober - Vacuum Prober - Thermal Chuck

May 28, 2019

Customer Requirements:

The customer wanted to test 200 mm silicon MEMS wafers under vacuum. They wanted the ability to test at low and high temperatures (-60 C to 200 C). They wanted the ability to use probe cards as well as programmable manipulators with DC and High Frequency (HF) probe arms. The probe system would need the ability to interface to a variety of Keithley and Keysight test instrumentation. The microscope bridge needed the ability to support optics, black bodies and a Polytec MEMS motion analyzer.
