2 Introduction Motivation Challenges Preliminary Results Conclusions Acknowledgments Agenda Pg 2

3 XL Multi-DUT Probe-Card Multi-DUT: Multi Device-Under-Test, which is also defined as Die Parallel testing method. Probe-Card: Interface unit between Wafer/Die on Wafer and Test System. Why XL? Flash Industry use X16 / X32 / X64 parallelism testing which is considered as standard. X16 X32 X64 > X100 Pg 3

4 Motivation behind Multi-DUT testing Reduced Wafer Test Time: Reduction in number of steps required to test a wafer Increased test Output: Wafer throughput increase Decrease in Probe-Card and Tester Inventory Test Time Test Time as function of Parallelism X1 X2 X16 X32 X100 X200 Parallelism Test Time Pg 4

5 XL Multi-DUT Probe Card Challenges Probing Process Metrology Technology Existence & Capability Repair & Maintenance Tester capability Channel count, Parallelism and S/W Automation Support systems Advanced Process Control Pg 5

6 XL Multi-DUT Probing Challenges Very large effective probing area : Requirement for a large area contact uniformity through control of Alignment, Planarity and Test-Head deflections. High thermal sensitivity: Probe-Cards have to be operational within the required Temp Range of test.

Z Coordinate [Normalized] Time Temp1 Temp2 Temp3 Temp4 Temp5 Temp6 Pg 7

8 XL Multi-DUT Probing Challenges: Probing Drive: Characterizing the best value which achieves Lowest Contact-Resistance & Pad Damage. Probe-Card Durability: Probe-Card & Process characteristics are to remain within given value window all through probe-card life time. Pg 8
