    摘要: A system and method for supporting and transferring a substrate relative to a plurality of testing columns are provided. The system includes a testing table adapted to support and move the substrate relative to the plurality of testing columns. The testing table may include an end effector disposed therein to transfer the substrate relative to an upper surface of the testing table. The method includes transferring the substrate to the testing table and moving the substrate relative to the plurality of testing columns. Signals indicative of electronic device performance are sensed to determine operability of the devices on the substrate.

    摘要: A method and integrated system for electron beam testing a substrate is provided. In one aspect, the integrated system includes a transfer chamber having a substrate table disposed therein. The substrate table is capable of moving a substrate within the testing chamber in both horizontal and vertical directions. The substrate table includes a first stage moveable in a first dimension, a second stage moveable in a second dimension, and a third stage moveable in a third dimension. Each stage moves independently in its respective dimension. The system also includes a load lock chamber disposed adjacent a first side of the testing chamber, and a prober storage assembly disposed beneath the testing chamber. A prober stack assembly is disposed adjacent a second side of the testing chamber and arranged to transfer one or more probers between the prober storage assembly and the testing chamber. Further, one or more electron beam testing devices are disposed on an upper surface of the testing chamber.

    摘要: A substrate table and method for supporting and transferring a substrate are provided. The substrate table includes a segmented stage having an upper surface for supporting a substrate, and an end effector. The end effector includes two or more spaced apart fingers and an upper surface for supporting a substrate. The end effector is at least partially disposed and moveable within the segmented stage such that the fingers of the end effector and the segmented stage interdigitate to occupy the same horizontal plane. The segmented stage is adapted to raise and lower about the end effector.

    摘要: An improved prober for an electronic devices test system is provided. The prober is “configurable,” meaning that it can be adapted for different device layouts and substrate sizes. The prober generally includes a frame, at least one prober bar having a first end and a second end, a frame connection mechanism that allows for ready relocation of the prober bar to the frame at selected points along the frame, and a plurality of electrical contact pins along the prober bar for placing selected electronic devices in electrical communication with a system controller during testing. In one embodiment, the prober is be used to test devices such as thin film transistors on a glass substrate. Typically, the glass substrate is square, and the frame is also square. In this way, “x” and “y” axes are defined by the frame. The electrical pins may be movable along the axial length of the prober bars, or may be selectively pushed down to contact selected contact pads on the substrate.
