Optoelectronic Wafer Prober VCSELS - Success Story

May 13, 2019

Customer Requirements:

The customer wanted a 150 mm semiautomatic probe system to test vertical cavity surface-emitting laser diodes (VCSELS). The VCSELS were in wafer and individual die form and tested at temperatures ranging from 25 C to 200 C.  The customer required the device to be biased from the top and bottom.  A manual manipulator with a multi-contact DC wedge was used for biasing. A second manual manipulator was used  for a non-contact height measurement sensor. An optical fiber was required to collect the light and it needed to be mounted to a three-axis programmable manipulator with a goniometer.
