What it is

The Micromanipulator MM 9920 is a semiconductor wafer prober. The MM 9920 is a machine used for testing integrated circuits at the wafer level. The MM 9920 handles wafers of 8-inch size.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

The MM 9920 operates by aligning a wafer on a chuck and bringing probe needles into contact with bond pads or test structures on the die. The prober then steps to each die location, making measurements via an attached test system. The MM 9920 likely includes a microscope for alignment and visual inspection.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wafer probing is performed after wafer fabrication and before assembly and packaging. The process step is known as wafer sort or electrical die sort. The prober interfaces with an automatic test equipment system to execute parametric and functional tests on every die on the wafer.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The MM 9920 is used in semiconductor test for wafer sort, characterization, and failure analysis. The prober can be applied to logic, memory, analog, or mixed-signal device testing. The prober also supports process monitoring and reliability testing at the wafer level.
