Success Story - Optoelectronics Wafer Test System - VCSELS EELDS

May 20, 2019

 

The customer wanted a multipurpose semiautomatic probe system to test vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser diodes (VCSELS) and edge-emitting laser diodes (EELDS) on the same system using a single integrating sphere. The VCSELS would be in wafer form and the EELDS would be in laser bars.

 

Optoelectronics Wafer Test System VCSELS EELDS

Using our patented Probe System for Life (PS4L) Adaptive Architecture we configured a solution consisting of:

  • SA-6 Semiautomatic Probe System
    • 150 mm programmable X,Y,Z and theta stage
    • PILOT Software Suite – Navigator, Wafer Map and Autoalign
    • Vibration Isolation Table
  • Multi-Purpose gold plated chuck that allowed both VCSELS and EELDS to be mounted and held via vacuum
    • Individual vacuum fixation for the EELD devices/bars
  • Single Integrating Sphere used for both applications
    • Minimum changeover required to address both requirements – VCSELS and EELDS
  • Compound Optics with CCTV System
  • Manual Manipulators with coaxial probe arms and DC probe tips
