Abstract:
Systems and methods for testing semiconductor wafers using a wafer translator are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an apparatus for testing semiconductor dies includes a semiconductor wafer translator having a wafer-side positioned to face toward a device under test, and an inquiry-side facing away from the wafer-side. The apparatus also includes a flexible arm peripherally connected to the wafer translator, and an evacuation opening within the flexible arm or within the wafer translator. The evacuation opening is open to a flow of a gas in a first position of the flexible arm, and closed to a flow of the gas in a second position of the flexible arm.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for testing semiconductor wafers using a wafer translator are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, an apparatus for testing semiconductor dies on a wafer includes a wafer translator having a wafer-side facing toward the wafer, and an inquiry-side facing away from the wafer-side. The wafer has an active side facing the translator. The apparatus includes a peripheral seal configured to seal a space between the wafer translator and the wafer, and a valve in a fluidic communication with the space between the wafer translator and the wafer.
