Success Story – Optoelectronics Device Characterization - Germany

October 17, 2023

Customer Requirements: 

  • Semiautomatic 300 mm Double Sided Probing (DSP) System to characterize several different types and sizes of silicon photonic devices in a shielded environment.  The system had to test 150 mm, 200 mm and 300 mm wafers and individual die.

SemiProbe Solution: 

  • 300 mm Semiautomatic DSP Optoelectronic Device Characterization System with programmable X, Y, Z and theta movement and control electronics
  • Localized Environmental Chamber (LEC) with Top Hat to provide dark and EMI shielded environment
  • Customized vibration isolation table (VIT)
  • Large travel gantry to accommodate a few different types of optics and instruments. Independently controlled X, Y, and Z movements – manual and programmable
  • Manual manipulators for topside and bottom side probing and a probe card holder
  • Non-Contact Height Measurement Sensor
  • Topside and bottom-side optics and cameras
  • Universal carrier plate to hold different sized die, partial wafers and whole wafers up to 300 mm
  • Detector mounted on a small travel programmable stage for optimization of output light collection
