The ESI 9850 is a wafer prober manufactured by ESI. The ESI 9850 is categorized as a Test & Probe tool.[1][2]
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe ESI 9850 is a test and probe prober used in semiconductor device probing and electrical test workflows.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA prober positions a wafer or other device sample against probe needles or probe contacts so electrical measurements can be made on individual devices, die, or test structures.
A prober commonly provides precision motion, alignment under a microscope or imaging system, and controlled contact between probes and the device under test.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA prober belongs in electrical characterization and wafer-level test rather than in front-end wafer fabrication or back-end packaging.
A prober is typically used after patterning or wafer preparation steps and before final assembly or package-level qualification.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA prober is used for wafer probing, parametric test, device characterization, and fault isolation on semiconductor structures.
A prober is also used for evaluating test structures and for making contact to devices before singulation or packaging.
