The SG-O probe system features a built-in automatic wafer loader, facilitating the loading of CIS/ALS/Light-Sensor wafers.

The wafer loading and unloading process is straightforward and intuitive for users.

The front section of the loading chamber also integrates a temperature control panel for easy operation.

The SG-O CIS/ALS/Light-Sensor wafer tester also features a manual loading capability, allowing wafers to be loaded manually through the front door.

The front door is equipped with a safety management system that automatically monitors the chuck temperature and prevents the door from being opened during the testing process, ensuring the safety of both the CIS/ALS/Light-Sensor wafers and the user.

The thermal chuck of the SG-O CIS/ALS/Light-Sensor wafer tester is controlled by an ERS-minimized CDA system, which provides higher efficiency compared to previous systems.
The temperature range of the SG-O CIS/ALS/Light-Sensor wafer tester covers -80°C to 180°C.(depends on the model of the ERS system). Nitrogen purge can be performed by using a separate valve.
For CIS/ALS/Light-Sensor wafer testing, the target temperature ramp rate and stability are excellent, allowing for testing under any extreme conditions, (such as space environments).

The probe card size capability ranges from 4.5 inches to 8 inches in length, as shown in the diagram. The working distance between the DUT (Device Under Test) and the last optical component of the SG-O high uniformity light source exceeds 200mm.

Dimensional diagram and structure

System diagram of the SG-O CIS/ALS/Light-Sensor wafer-level testing system.

The highly uniform light source is controlled by PC-1. The light output is guided through optical fibers to an optical homogenizer to generate a uniform light beam. The microscope and homogenizer are controlled by the automated translation stage of PC-1 for position and functionality switching.

The Prober system is the MPI TS2000, controlled by PC-2.

The position of the chuck table is also controlled by PC-2. The temperature of the thermal chuck can be controlled from -55°C to 180°C, covering most of the IC testing temperature range.

The light intensity is detected and calibrated using an Si photodetector and an InGaAs photodetector with a picoammeter.
