T 2000
The Advantest T 2000 is an open-architecture SoC test system that adopts the OPENSTAR standard. The T 2000 uses Microsoft Windows as its base operating system. The T 2000 supports test applications for digital consumer, MPU, RF, CMOS image sensor, and integrated power devices.[1]
What it is
The Advantest T2000 is a test system designed for system-on-chip (SoC) devices. The system adopts the OPENSTAR open architecture, allowing the integration of modules from different vendors. The T2000 runs on a Microsoft Windows operating system and uses C++ (Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition) for program development, with OTPL (Open Architecture Test Programming Language) as a test-program interface. The system includes an offline emulator, the T2000 System Software Emulator, and a suite of test tools such as Wave Tool (logic analyzer and oscilloscope functions), Shmoo, and Pattern Editor. The T2000 can be configured as an RF tester, equipped with modules including an SGM16 (Sync Gen/Matrix16), a 12GWSGA (12 GHz cellular/W-Lan Signal Generator/Analyzer), a DPS500 (500 mA Device Power Supply), an RC5V (Relay Control 5V), and a 2.5G Noise Source.[1][2]
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe T2000 is used in the final test (FT) and wafer sort stages of semiconductor manufacturing. After wafer fabrication and before packaging, individual die are tested on a prober using the T2000. After packaging, packaged devices are tested in a handler or test socket. The system can also be used in characterization and engineering validation during the design phase.
