    摘要: A probing apparatus for semiconductor devices includes a housing configured to define a testing chamber, a device holder positioned in the housing and configured to receive at least one device under test, and at least one probe stage positioned in the housing. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the probe stage includes a base, a retaining arm pivotally coupled with the base and having a retaining portion configured to retain at least one probe, and a stepper positioned on the base. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the stepper is configured in response to an electric signal to move the probe downward through the retaining arm to contact a device under test and to move the probe upward through the retaining arm to separate from the device under test such that the up-and-down movement of the probe can be performed at relatively high frequency of typically greater than six cycles per second. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the stepper further equipped with a contact sensor configured to sense the contact of the probe to the device under test.

    摘要: A mechanical scanning stage for high speed image acquisition in a focused beam system. The mechanical scanning stage preferably is a combination of four stages. A first stage provides linear motion. A second stage, above the first stage, provides rotational positioning. A third stage above the rotational stage is moveable in a first linear direction, and the fourth stage above the third stage is positionable in a second linear direction orthogonal to the first direction. The four stages are responsive to input from a controller programmed with a polar coordinate pixel addressing method, for positioning a specimen mounted on the mechanical stage to allow an applied static focus beam to irradiate selected areas of interest, thereby imaged by collecting signals from the specimen using a polar coordinate pixel addressing method.
