Test facilities are beginning to implement real-time maintenance, rather than scheduled maintenance, to reduce manufacturing costs and boost product yield. Adaptive cleaning of probe needles and test ...

Simple mechanical changes can significantly improve probe card performance. Epoxy-ring probe cards with 2,000 or more probes are economical solutions to multi-DUT parallel test. The key to repeatable ...

Test is a dirty business. It can contaminate a unit or wafer, or the test hardware, which in turn can cause problems in the field. While this has not gone unnoticed, particularly as costs rise due to ...
