What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wafer probers are used to bring test probes into controlled contact with device structures on a wafer so that electrical measurements can be taken before singulation. A wafer prober is part of the test and probe stage of semiconductor manufacturing and laboratory characterization.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A wafer prober positions a wafer on a chuck and moves the probe card or probe needles into alignment with targeted pads or structures. The prober then establishes repeatable contact for electrical testing, characterization, or debugging.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Elite 300 Wafer fits in the semiconductor probe and test flow before wafer dicing and final packaging. The tool supports wafer-level inspection and electrical verification on intact wafers.

Applications

The Cascade Microtech Elite 300 Wafer is used for semiconductor probe and electrical test work on 12 inch wafers. The machine is suited to wafer-level measurement and device characterization tasks.[1][2]
