What it is

The Cascade Microtech 12000 B HS is a wafer prober. The machine is a product of Cascade Microtech. The prober accepts wafers with a diameter of six inches.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wafer probers are used in the semiconductor fabrication flow after wafer processing and before singulation. The prober is part of the testing step that verifies the electrical performance of completed devices. Data collected at this stage can guide decisions on which die are suitable for packaging. The same class of equipment also supports process development and characterisation runs.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The 12000 B HS is used for on-wafer testing of integrated circuits and discrete semiconductor devices. The prober supports parametric measurements and device characterisation. The system also assists failure analysis and yield improvement work.
