Test Wafer, part 3

May 25, 2024November 12, 2024 3 Comments

In the last few weeks I had the opportunity to visit a few of our (FABMATICS) customer FAB’s here in the US – sure enough the topic of test wafers and the options and benefits to automate test wafer handling came up in all of them. They all categorized themselves into the area of higher…… Continue reading Test Wafer, part 3

Test Wafer, part 2

April 15, 2024 2 Comments

First of all, thanks to everybody who participated in the test wafer usage poll in the last post. I received some decent feedback and below are the results: For 150 and 200mm FABs (based on 15 data entries) The data show that test wafers play a massive role in the day to day FAB business.…… Continue reading Test Wafer, part 2
