What it is

The MPI TS 3000 is a 300 mm automated probe system for wafer-level electrical measurement.[2]

The MPI TS 3000 is used for probing on-wafer devices and supports probe cards, MicroPositioners, and programmable microscope movement.[2]

How it works

The TS 3000 uses programmable chuck motion, a programmable theta stage, integrated platen cooling, and integrated control software to position wafers and probes for measurement.[2]

The TS 3000 includes vacuum loading, safety interlocks, vibration isolation, and optional shielding and thermal-environment features for controlled probing.[2]

Where it fits in the process flow

The TS 3000 supports front-side loading of wafers or single devices and is configured for measurement work that can include calibration substrates, probe cleaning, and contact checks.[2]

Applications

The TS 3000 is intended for DC-IV, DC-CV, pulsed-IV, RF, mmW, load-pull, design validation, and failure analysis work.[2]

The TS 3000 supports high-voltage and high-current measurements, low-temperature operation, and light-sensitive measurements with optional configurations.[2]
