PCT5801 high-channel probe card electrical test system

High-channel electrical and physical validation

Memory Probe Card Test System

Built for NAND, NOR, DRAM and HBM probe cards, the system connects PCT5801 electrical testing, tester/prober interfaces and DeepTouch1000 physical inspection in one flow for post-build, post-repair and high-pin-count release checks.

PCT5801 high-channel system. The current configuration supports 16,384 channels; motherboard and interfaces are designed for the target card.

Applications

Designed for the following probe card manufacturing, test and maintenance tasks.

Memory probe card release

Build a traceable result set around Open, Short, Leakage, control resources and interface checks after manufacture or repair.

HBM and one-touchdown evaluation

Review channel organization and one-touchdown paths around the high-pin-count motherboard and tester/prober ecosystem.

Electrical anomaly localization

Locate open, short, leakage or control anomalies, then use tip XYZ, load and contact evidence to investigate physical causes.

WORKFLOW

Workflow

01

Model samples and interfaces

Confirm card type, pin count, tester, prober, motherboard, control resources and acceptance items.

02

Run electrical tests

Execute Open, Short, Leakage, MCW, control and selected high-speed items while retaining raw results.

03

Correlate physical checks

Inspect probe-tip XYZ, load, probe mark or contact state at anomalous locations.

04

Report and retest

Retain configuration versions, results, disposition and retest conclusions for FAT/SAT.

FAT / SAT

Project delivery

01

Sample evaluation

Confirm the object, interfaces, current state, failure modes and available validation samples.

02

Technical agreement

Define configuration, measurement method, limits, takt, data interfaces and responsibilities.

03

FAT

Verify functions, repeatability, reporting and exception handling with agreed samples.

04

SAT

Complete site integration, training, upstream/downstream interfaces and issue closure.

CONFIGURATION

Configuration and acceptance

System configuration, optional items and acceptance conditions are summarized below.

Installed systems
