Probe station configuration
Before KITE can begin controlling a probe station, the probe station must be properly configured.
The probe station configuration includes:
1. Making test system measurement and communication connections.
2. Creating a probe list using the appropriate prober control software.
3. Loading and aligning the wafer.
Helpful configuration instructions for each supported prober are included in the Reference Manual,
Using a Probe Station, Appendix G. Refer to Tabl e 4 -2 for additional information. This tutorial uses
a manual probe station, however the probe station configuration is simple, because step 2 can be
omitted. To configure a manual probe station, connect the test system measurement signals to the
probe station as indicated in Figure 4-22, and align the prober to the first subsite (test element
group) in the test sequence.
Open the probesubsites project
Open the probesubsites project from the File menu on the KITE toolbar (click Open Project). The
project navigator for the probesubsites project is shown in Figure 4-28.
