Among them, the wafer K is a needle test for each die (called) on the B-day slice, and the detection head is equipped with a gold wire made of a hair-like probe (PrObe), which is connected to the die. Point (Pad) contact to test its electrical characteristics, unqualified grains will be marked, and then when the wafer is cut into independent grains in units of grains, unmarked grains will be eliminated, The next process will not be carried out, so as not to increase costs. The completion of the wafer test mainly relies on a set of programs that can detect whether the 1C function is normal or not. After turning into the machine, the relevant signals are read to determine whether the function is normal. The test host server of the wafer test process contains a variety of test programs applicable to the test machine, for example, different wafer production: different test programs need to be used to test, or the same wafer product is used in y Under the same version, it is also possible to use different test programs, and even, the wafer standard paper standard Guzhongguanjia standard (in the "secret (21〇X if mm) I ---------- 1 · & -------- Order .------------ S (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) A7 V.

In addition, the detector that is used to move the wafer under the test machine also needs to use another test program to control the 'input needs to be changed due to the different wafer size. Different programs can be moved to the correct position for testing. However, there is no test program in the test machine and the detector, and it must be turned in by the people to get out of the test machine feeder.

After the wafer batch is sent to test machine I: The operator enters the program name in the test machine according to the test process to be performed. Therefore, the tester and the detector will download the program name entered in the server of the tester. During the private downloading of the tester and the detector, the operator will first process other wafer batches. : After some time, return to the test machine to see if the test program has been executed. The operator then presses the start key, and the test machine and detector begin the test step of the wafer batch. The number of test programs is close to the name. Therefore, using the human ^ method to give instructions may download the wrong program, which leads to the situation that the test must be re-tested, which will be more serious. It will cause more vulnerable production to occupy: It was damaged after two tests. In addition, due to the differences in the test programs, the download time is also different, so if the operator estimates the time incorrectly, the paper size is moderate. ⑽Χ 297 male hair τ (Please read the notes and then fill in the back of this page)
