Powered by TestStand test management software and LabVIEW system design software, the test system comes with a rich set of features for semiconductor production environments, including a customisable operator interface, handler/prober integration, device-centric programming with pin-channel mapping, standard test data format reporting and integrated multisite support.
With these features, engineers can quickly develop, debug and deploy test programs, shortening overall time to market. Additionally with the fully enclosed “zero-footprint” test head, standard interfacing and docking mechanics, STS comes ready to integrate into a semiconductor production test cell. The STS series includes three different models named T1, T2 and T4, which accommodate one, two and four PXI chassis, respectively.
These varying sizes, along with common software, instrumentation and interconnect mechanics across all STS models give engineers the ability to optimise for a wide range of pin-count and site-count requirements. Additionally, the scalability of STS makes it practical to deploy from characterisation to production with the benefit of not only optimised cost, but greatly simplified data correlation to further shorten time to market.
