Unisem added new 12-inch semiconductor wafer prober

Unisem has added 12-inch wafer probing capability to its test floor in Sunnyvale, CA. Accretech said its next generation prober, the UF3000EX will not only provide twelve inch probe capability but also has many other key features such as high speed wafer handling, a low-noise XY stage, and industry leading accuracy with its OTS (Optical Target Scope) positioning technology.

"The Accretech UF3000EX provides our factory with a state of the art system for wafer probe that will also give us the option to probe twelve inch wafers. Wafer probe has over the last year become a key part of our business in Sunnyvale," said Marita Erickson, general manager at Unisem Sunnyvale.
