What it is

The Tokyo Electron Precio XL is a production wafer prober.[2][4][3][1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A wafer prober positions a semiconductor wafer under probe needles or a probe interface so that individual devices, circuits, or structures on the wafer can be contacted for measurement.

A wafer probe system generally combines precise wafer staging, vertical motion, and alignment functions so probe contacts can land on intended pad locations with controlled force and repeatable placement.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A wafer prober sits in the electrical test flow before die separation and package assembly.

The machine supports wafer-level test and probe operations on full wafers before downstream sorting, packaging, or final assembly steps.

Applications

The Precio XL is used for semiconductor wafer probing and wafer-level electrical test.[2][4][3][1]
