What it is

The Teradyne A 563 is a tester manufactured by Teradyne. The model designation is A 563.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

The A 563 Tester works by providing controlled electrical stimulus to a device under test and measuring the device's resulting electrical behavior. A test program defines which pins are driven, what levels are applied, and what readings are acceptable.

The A 563 Tester contains signal sources, measurement units, and a test head that contacts the device under test. The tester compares measured values against test limits to make a pass or fail decision.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The A 563 Tester is used at the probe and final test stages of semiconductor production. The probe and final test stages come after wafer fabrication and packaging.

In a wafer probe operation, the A 563 Tester can be paired with a prober that contacts each die on a wafer. In final test, the same type of tester can be paired with a device handler that feeds packaged units through the test station.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The A 563 Tester is used to screen semiconductor devices for electrical faults before shipment. The testing verifies basic electrical performance and identifies devices that fail production limits.

The test and probe capability of the A 563 Tester supports both wafer level testing and packaged device testing. The A 563 Tester is therefore suited to semiconductor assembly and test operations.
