HP / Verigy PS 3600 Pinscale
What it is
The Advantest HP / Verigy PS 3600 Pinscale is classified as a Test & Probe tool and belongs to the Advantest HP / Verigy family. The system includes configurations with multiple modules: PS 3600/HSM (x2), PS 400 (x6), DPS 32 (x1), MCB (x1), SRCB (x1), RFE-A (x2), RFF-A (x3), a Compact Test Head (CTH), and an HP Z620 workstation. The PS 3600 Pinscale has RF capability.[2]
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedUpstream of the test step is the wafer fabrication process, where devices are built on a silicon wafer. Downstream steps include assembly and packaging for devices that pass wafer sort, or direct shipment of known-good dies for multi-chip modules.
