What it is

The Precio series is a fully automatic wafer-probing platform manufactured by Tokyo Electron.[1]

How it works

The Precio series achieves XY accuracy to realize reliable contacts and includes Z-axis control for soft contact.[1]

The Precio series provides optimum temperature control during test and supports increased parallel die testing.[1]

Some Precio configurations include a tri-temperature chuck, a nickel hot and cold chuck, or a single FOUP wafer loader with a GPIB tester interface and a chiller.[3][2]

Where it fits in the process flow

The Precio series is designed to be integrated with tester systems and networking software such as the PN-300 for data management and remote operation.[1]

Applications

The Precio series is used for wafer probing in the test process, addressing demands related to process miniaturization, higher device functionality, and package variety.[1]

The Precio series is employed in applications requiring precise XY and Z-axis control, temperature management, and high-speed probe mark inspection.[1]
