Customer Requirements:
The customer wanted a fully automatic probe system to test silicon photonic devices in wafer form that were manufactured using MEMS technology. Due to small pitches and tight tolerances the customer needed four (4) programmable manipulators. Two (2) manipulators were multi-axis hexapods and two (2) were three-axis manipulators. The two hexapod manipulators had probe arms that could handle single and multi-mode fibers. The fiber needed to be placed within 10 um of the device surface so non-contact height measurement sensors were required and mounted to the fiber arms. The two (2) three-axis manipulators used single DC or High Frequency (HF) probe arms with the appropriate probe tips.
