    摘要: A method and an apparatus for verifying or testing test substrates, i.e. wafers and other electronic semiconductor components, in a prober under defined thermal conditions. Such a verifying apparatus, known to the person skilled in the art as a prober, has a housing having at least two housing sections, in one housing section of which, designated hereinafter as test chamber, the test substrate to be verified is held by a chuck and is set to a defined temperature, and in the other housing section of which, designated hereinafter as probe chamber, probes are held. For verification purposes, the test substrate and the probes are positioned relative to one another by means of at least one positioning device and the probes subsequently make contact with the test substrate.

    摘要: Shielded probe systems are disclosed herein. The shielded probe systems are configured to test a device under test (DUT) and include an enclosure that defines an enclosure volume, a translation stage with a stage surface, a substrate-supporting assembly extending from the stage surface, an electrically conductive shielding structure, an isolation structure, and a thermal shielding structure. The substrate-supporting assembly includes an electrically conductive support surface, which is configured to support a substrate that includes the DUT. The electrically conductive shielding structure defines a shielded volume. The isolation structure electrically isolates the electrically conductive shielding structure from the enclosure and from the translation stage. The thermal shielding structure extends within the enclosure volume and at least partially between the enclosure and the substrate-supporting assembly.

    摘要: Shielded probe systems are disclosed herein. The shielded probe systems are configured to test a device under test (DUT) and include an enclosure that defines an enclosure volume, a translation stage with a stage surface, a substrate-supporting stack extending from the stage surface, an electrically conductive shielding structure, an isolation structure, and a thermal shielding structure. The substrate-supporting stack includes an electrically conductive support surface and a temperature-controlled chuck. The electrically conductive shielding structure defines a shielded volume. The isolation structure electrically isolates the electrically conductive shielding structure from the enclosure and from the translation stage. The thermal shielding structure extends within the enclosure volume and at least partially between the enclosure and the substrate-supporting stack.

    摘要: In a method and a device for testing a test substrate under defined thermal conditions, a substrate that is to be tested is held by a temperature-controllable chuck and is set to a defined temperature; the test substrate is positioned relative to test probes by at least one positioning device; and the test probes make contact with the test substrate for testing purposes. At least one component of the positioning device that is present in the vicinity of the temperature-controlled test substrate is set to a temperature that is independent of the temperature of the test substrate by a temperature-controlling device, and this temperature is held constant.
