Success Story - Fully Automatic Double-Sided Optoelectronics Wafer Test System

May 13, 2019

The customer wanted a 300 mm fully automatic double-sided probe system for high volume silicon photonics testing in a production environment. The system had to provide the ability to bias the device with a probe card on the top while detecting light output from the bottom of the wafer. The system needed to provide low and high temperature capability from -40 C to 200 C in a frost-free and shielded environment. The system had to be able to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The system had to be tested to and certified to a variety of SEMI, UL and other safety standards.
