What it is

The Advantest PS 400 is semiconductor test and probe equipment.[3][1]

How it works

A compact test head and board or card assembly can organize the test electronics around the probing interface, with the workstation and control software coordinating the measurement sequence.[2]

The Advantest PS 400 Pin Scale configuration uses a Compact Test Head, PS 400 card or board modules, a workstation, and dual Red Hat operating system versions.[2]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Advantest PS 400 Pin Scale configuration is part of a semiconductor test system that includes a Compact Test Head and PS 400 card or board modules.[2]
