The TechWing TW 320 S is a handler. The TechWing TW 320 S is manufactured by TechWing.[1][2][3][4][5]
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedHandlers generally use a pick-and-place mechanism or a gravity-feed track to move individual devices. The handler indexes each device into a test site where contact is made with a test socket connected to an automatic test equipment system. After testing, the handler moves the device to a sorting station that places it into one of several output bins according to the test outcome. Many handlers include a thermal control system that tests devices at specified temperatures.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedHandlers are used in the final test stage of semiconductor manufacturing. After wafer fabrication and wafer sort (probing), devices are singulated and packaged. The packaged devices are then transferred to a handler for final electrical testing. The handler feeds devices to the test system, and the test results determine the device's grade or rejection.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedHandlers are used to test a wide variety of semiconductor devices including integrated circuits, memory chips, microcontrollers, and analog devices. The TechWing TW 320 S is designed to handle such packaged devices in a production test environment.

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of measurements can be performed with a probe station?General reference — not yet source-verified
Measurements include DC parameters (such as current-voltage curves, threshold voltage, leakage), AC parameters (like capacitance and frequency response), and material properties (sheet resistance, contact resistance). The specific capabilities depend on the connected test instruments.
How is alignment achieved on a probe station?General reference — not yet source-verified
Alignment is performed using a microscope and precision stage motion. The operator visually identifies the device features and positions the wafer so that probe tips land accurately on bond pads or test structures. Automated systems use pattern recognition to align without manual intervention.
What factors should be considered when choosing a probe station?General reference — not yet source-verified
Key considerations include the number and type of probes needed, the wafer size capacity, stage resolution and repeatability, temperature control options, microscopy requirements, and compatibility with external measurement instruments. The choice depends on the intended application and testing complexity.
