A prober for testing devices in a repeat structure on a substrate is provided with a probe holder plate, probe holders mounted on the plate, and a test probe associated with each holder. Each test probe is displaceable via a manipulator connected to a probe holder, and a substrate carrier fixedly supports the substrate. Testing of devices, which are situated in a repeat structure on a substrate, in sequence without a substrate movement and avoiding individual manipulation of the test probes in relation to the contact islands on the devices, is achieved in that the probe holders are fastened on a shared probe holder plate and the probe holder plate is moved in relation to the test substrate.

Prober for testing devices in a repeat structure on a substrate

A prober for testing components comprises a lower frame, over which a probe holder plate is disposed at a distance therefrom for receiving test probes that make contact with the components to be tested and to which a displacement device is connected. A substrate carrier is disposed in the space between the frame and the probe holder plate, and the probe holder plate is provided with an opening, below which the substrate carrier can be displaced. To expand the scope of application of probers used for testing components, all those components of the prober that surround the substrate are made from a non-magnetic material.

Prober for testing magnetically sensitive components

In a method and an apparatus for measuring temperature-controlled electronic components in a test station, a component to be measured is held and positioned using a chuck, has a temperature-controlled and directed fluid flow applied to it and is electrically contact-connected using probes and is measured. The setting of the temperature of the component to the temperature at which the measurement is intended to be carried out is effected solely using a directed fluid flow at a defined temperature.
