In a method of inspecting the electric characteristics of wafers, detecting for second and subsequent alignment operations of probe cards is automatically executed. In an apparatus for inspecting the electric characteristics of wafer, different types of wafers can be continuously inspected using the same probe card on the basis of prestored alignment data of each type of wafers.
摘要:
A processing system has a processing section for continuously processing a member to be processed; an inspection section for inspecting a processed state of the member processed by the processing section; a processed state determination section for determining whether the processed state is defective/nondefective, on the basis of a result of inspection performed by the inspection section; a continuity determination section for determining whether or not a defective determination is continuously made when the processed state is determined to be defective by the processed state determination section; and a processing control section for controlling processing so as to stop processing of the member continuously performed by the processing section when the continuity determination section determines that the defective determination is continuously made.
摘要:
In a semiconductor manufacturing system, operations of a plurality of processing apparatuses are controlled so as to efficiently manufacture semiconductor devices. The semiconductor manufacturing system having at least one processing apparatus for applying a process to semiconductor substrates. A memory part (5) stores priority-level data which indicates a priority level of the process to be applied to each of the semiconductor substrates on an individual semiconductor substrate basis. A control part (3, 7) controls the processing apparatus to apply the process to a newly supplied one of the semiconductor substrates by determining an order of processing the newly supplied one of the semiconductor substrates being supplied to the processing apparatus based on a comparison of new priority-level data with the priority-level data stored in the memory part with respect to the semiconductor substrates of which process has been scheduled, the new priority-level data being supplied in response to the newly supplied one of the semiconductor substrates being supplied to the processing apparatus.
摘要:
A method for positioning and testing an object to be tested wherein the surface of an object to be tested for electrical characteristics is brought into contact with a test probe. The side of the object opposite the surface to be tested is held by a suction device on the end of one of many arms which are attached to a rotating shaft. The object is then transported to a position to bring it into contact with the test probe where testing is performed to determine whether or not the object is faulty. If necessary, the arms are manipulated in an up and down and an in and out direction with respect to the shaft, and the suction device rotated, to maintain the object to be tested in a proper orientation.
摘要:
There is provided a system and method for improving productivity of apparatuses. A vendor-side computer 26 obtains operating state data obtained by a monitoring device 18 provided in an apparatus 10 via a communication line 100, and monitors the operating state of the apparatus 10 from a remote location. Maintenance data at a part replacing time is transmitted from the apparatus 10, and the vendor-side computer 26 that has received maintenance data calculates an optimal replacement period of a part based on this. The calculated optimal replacement period of each part is sent to a plant 101. The plant 101 feeds the optimal replacement period back to the operation of the apparatus 10, so that productivity can be improved.
摘要:
A probe apparatus having a measuring section with a first system for electrically measuring an object. A loader section has a second system for carrying objects to the measuring section and a marking section has a third system for marking objects. These sections are independent of each other so that a vibration occurring in one section is not transmitted to the other sections.
