What it is

The Teradyne Nextest Magnum PV SCM is a test and probe instrument for semiconductor work.[1][2]

The Nextest Magnum PV SCM belongs to Teradyne’s Nextest Magnum family.[2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A test and probe instrument makes electrical contact to a device on a wafer or other substrate so the device can be evaluated before later processing steps.

A probe-based system typically positions probes, aligns them to device pads or structures, and connects the device under test to external test electronics.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A test and probe instrument fits into semiconductor evaluation between wafer fabrication and downstream assembly or further qualification.

A probe station in this class is used when devices must be contacted directly at the wafer stage rather than after singulation.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

A test and probe instrument is used for wafer-level electrical verification and for checking devices before they move to later manufacturing steps.

A probe-based tool of this type is used in semiconductor manufacturing and development when direct contact to device pads or test structures is required.

Frequently asked questions

What types of devices can this test system handle?General reference — not yet source-verified

Test systems of this class are designed to be flexible and can handle a broad range of semiconductor devices, including analog, mixed-signal, digital, and power devices. The specific device types supported depend on the configuration of the test head and the available instrument modules.

How is the device connected to the tester?General reference — not yet source-verified

For wafer-level testing, the device is contacted using a probe card that matches the die's pad layout. For packaged devices, a test socket or handler interface is used. The test system's pin electronics provide electrical connections to each of the DUT's terminals.

What is the typical test throughput?General reference — not yet source-verified

Throughput depends on many factors including the number of tests performed, the test time per device, the parallelism of testing, and the speed of the prober or handler. Class-level test systems are capable of testing multiple devices simultaneously to improve throughput.

How accurate are the measurements?General reference — not yet source-verified

Measurement accuracy is a key specification for test systems of this class. The system is calibrated using known references and traceable standards. Accuracy depends on the specific instruments used (e.g., source-measure units, digitizers) and can be adjusted via the test program's measurement settings.
