The Brooks GX Wafer is a wafer handler manufactured by Brooks. The Brooks GX Wafer is categorized under Test & Probe.[1][2]
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA wafer handler typically uses a robotic arm or belt-driven mechanism to move wafers from input cassettes to an alignment station and then to the probe chuck.
The handler integrates with a prober or tester to precisely position each die under the probe card for electrical testing.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn semiconductor manufacturing, wafer handlers are placed between wafer sort (test) and the probe interface, automating the physical handling of wafers during electrical test.
Upstream processes include wafer fabrication and preparation; downstream steps include dicing and packaging after testing is complete.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Brooks GX is used in test and probe applications where multiple wafers need to be automatically loaded, aligned, and presented to a prober for die-level electrical testing.
Such handlers are common in both engineering characterization and high-volume manufacturing environments.
