The research report highlights the growth potential of the global Semiconductor Probe Station market. With recovery from influence of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine War, Semiconductor Probe Station are expected to show stable growth in the future market. However, product differentiation, reducing costs, and supply chain optimization remain crucial for the widespread adoption of Semiconductor Probe Station. Market players need to invest in research and development, forge strategic partnerships, and align their offerings with evolving consumer preferences to capitalize on the immense opportunities presented by the Semiconductor Probe Station market.
The probe station is one of the important testing equipment in the semiconductor (including integrated circuits, discrete devices, optoelectronic devices, sensors) industry. It is widely used in the precision electrical measurement of complex and high-speed devices, aiming to ensure quality and reliability, and reduce time and cost of the device fabrication process. By cooperating with the test equipment, the probe station records the chips whose parameter characteristics do not meet the requirements, and removes them before entering the subsequent process, which greatly reduces the manufacturing cost of the device. The probe station is mainly used for applications such as wafer inspection, chip development and failure analysis in the wafer manufacturing process.
Semiconductor testing can be divided into three categories according to the production process: verification testing, wafer testing and packaging testing. The wafer inspection process requires the use of a tester and a probe station. The tester/machine is used to test the function and performance of the chip. The probe station realizes the connection between the chip under test and the tester. The bare chip on the circle is tested for function and electrical parameters or radio frequency test, which can screen the good and bad products of the chip.
The probe station can place electrical probes, optical probes or radio frequency probes on silicon wafers, so that it can cooperate with test instruments/semiconductor test systems to test chips/semiconductor devices. These tests can be simple, such as continuity or isolation checks, or complex, including full functional testing of microcircuits. Testing can be performed before or after sawing the wafer into individual dies. Testing at the wafer level allows manufacturers to test chip devices multiple times during production, which can provide information on which process steps introduce defects into the final product. It also enables manufacturers to test dies before packaging, which is important in applications where packaging costs are high relative to device costs. Probe stations can also be used in R&D, product development, and failure analysis applications.
The probe station can hold the wafer or chip and precisely position the DUT. The user of the manual probe station mounts the probe arm and probe into the manipulator and uses the microscope to place the probe tip in the correct position on the object to be tested. Once all probe tips are set in the correct position, the object under test can be tested. For wafers with multiple chips, the user lifts the platen, which separates the probe tip from the chip, moves the stage to the next chip, uses a microscope to find the exact position, and lowers the platen. A chip can be tested. Semi-automatic and fully automatic prober systems use mechanized tables and machine vision to automate this moving process, increasing prober productivity.
