What it is

The Signatone TH-760 is a test head probe station for probing semiconductor devices mounted directly in a test head.[1][2]

How it works

The TH-760 is constructed around a vibration isolation table.[1][3]

The TH-760 docks the test head beneath a large plate that floats on a cushion of compressed N2 or C.D.A. The TH-760 uses a hole milled into the plate to provide access for probing into the device. The TH-760 places a micropositioner support platen on top of the plate. The TH-760 can use options including CAP, lasers, manual or motorized micropositioners, and active probes.[1][3]

Where it fits in the process flow

The TH-760 is used for failure analysis and research and development probing.[1][3]

The TH-760 addresses probing problems caused by test head vibration when small device geometries require a stable probing environment.[1][3]

Applications

The TH-760 is applied to semiconductor device probing in test head environments.[1][2]

The TH-760 supports probing setups that may use lasers, manual or motorized micropositioners, and active probes.[1][3]

  • probing semiconductor devices mounted directly in a test head
  • failure analysis and R&D probing
