What it is

The Electroglas EG Pathfinder Frame is a test and probe wafer prober.[2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A wafer prober positions a wafer with precision so electrical probes can contact device pads for test and measurement. A prober typically combines a wafer chuck, motion stages, optical viewing, and probe placement hardware to support alignment and contact.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The EG Pathfinder Frame sits in wafer-level electrical test and probe work before final device sorting or downstream packaging steps. The class is used to bring probe needles or probe cards into contact with devices on the wafer for measurement and qualification.

Applications

The EG Pathfinder Frame is part of the test and probe category used for semiconductor wafer probing.[2]
