What is a Prober?

A prober is a device used in electronic and semiconductor testing, specifically designed to evaluate the electrical characteristics of components such as IC chips and wafers. Using fine probes to make contact with the device under test (DUT), the prober transmits and measures electrical signals. It plays a critical role in manufacturing and quality control processes, ensuring that devices meet operational requirements. Probers are capable of high-precision measurements, reducing defect rates and improving productivity. Automated probers enhance efficiency by providing consistent and reliable testing.

Application of Prober

✅Wafer Testing
Used in semiconductor manufacturing to inspect the electrical characteristics of each chip on a wafer and identify defects.
✅IC Chip Function Verification
Tests whether IC chips function as designed, ensuring manufacturing quality.
✅Signal Transmission Evaluation
Assesses the accuracy of signal transmission between devices to prevent communication errors.
✅Quality Control in Mass Production
Maintains consistent quality in mass-produced items using probers on production lines.
