August 2, 2022 - Vista, California - Axiom Test Equipment, Inc., an electronic test equipment rental
and sales company has published a new blog post entitled "Modular Test Solution Speed Semiconductor Testing," explaining
how to pick the right module when you need a solution with semiconductor testing.
A well-designed mainframe that operates according to plug-in modules can not only
pack a great deal of measurement power into a small space, but it can also be configured
as needed by exchanging modules. Modular semiconductor parameter testers are capable
of top-line mainframe accuracy along with the test speed and flexibility for high-volume
production-line device testing.
Modular units provide a more "compressed" approach to executing semiconductor
parameter measurements. A modular unit consists of a full-sized mainframe and much
smaller plug-in modules which contain the measurement capabilities required for
a specific semiconductor parametric test. Modular test solutions typically enable
quicker, less complicated setups whether performing manual measurements or in an
automatic-test-equipment (ATE) environment. For example, modular semiconductor parameter
testers can switch between C-V and I-V measurements without rewiring the cables
between the test equipment and a device under test (DUT). In a modular tester, it
is simply a matter of switching between modules. The smaller size of a total modular
semiconductor parameter test setup can speed setup times but also lead to faster
test data collection and analysis with much less power consumption.
In this blog we included a sample of the available modules which can quickly
transform a mainframe into a well-equipped semiconductor parameter test solution.

Semiconductors are often considered "ground-zero" or starting points for advanced
electronics technologies, whether for commercial, industrial, military, or medical
solutions or even in space. They are fabricated in various configurations and from
many materials, each approach yielding a set of characteristics well suited for
a variety of applications. Before they can be used, however, semiconductor devices
and materials must be full characterized by means of many tests and often over wide
measurement ranges. Finding a traditional benchtop test system with enough functionality
and performance to characterize some of the latest semiconductor devices and materials
can be a challenge. In contrast, a well-designed mainframe that operates according
to plug-in modules can not only pack a great deal of measurement power into a small
space, but it can also be configured as needed by exchanging modules. Modular semiconductor
parameter testers are capable of top-line mainframe accuracy along with the test
speed and flexibility for high-volume production-line device testing.
Semiconductor parameter analysis focuses on semiconductor device and process
parameters rather than device functions. As detailed in an earlier blog, "Capturing
Semiconductor Current and Voltage Characteristics," parametric analysis explores
how essential electrical parameters, such as voltage (V), current (I), and capacitance
(C), may change with time or according to different operating conditions. Semiconductor
parameter analysis can capture data related to the quality and consistency of a
semiconductor substrate material and the devices formed from that material.
The nature of the test stimuli used as part of the parameter measurements will
depend upon the type of electrical device being tested, including discrete transistors,
integrated circuits (ICs), and most recently system-on-chip (SoC) devices. Semiconductor
characteristics must be studied for a variety of ICs, including analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), memory devices, microcontrollers,
and operational amplifiers (opamps). The test data can also be used for process
control monitoring (PCM) and wafer level reliability (WLR) testing when manufacturing
semiconductors.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail"
when a new message arrived...
