Characteristics and advantages

1. Thin wafer handling

The unique design of the S2500-RF chuck and wafer lift pin enables safe processing of wafers as thin as 50 microns, making it possible to test challenging thin III-Vs compound wafers

The RF chuck consists of two auxiliary chucks made entirely of special ceramic materials, used for precise RF calibration. The auxiliary chuck and hot chuck can also be used to maintain the cleanliness of the probe

2. High throughput

Automation includes dual end actuators and twin wafer cassette holders, suitable for 150mm or 200mm wafers, providing efficient wafer swapping and higher testing speeds. The maximum speed of TS2500-RF can reach 10 chips per second (depending on the final system configuration), making it an ideal choice for electrical testing in the production of discrete RF devices and integrated circuits (ICs)

3. Advanced alignment system

Advanced calibration features, such as off-axis and chuck mounted upper cameras, make the TS2500-RF an ideal platform for testing in complex RF measurement configurations. Decades of experience in MPI Photonics' automation department make these features more reliable

4. Complete Test Solution

TS2500-RF can be equipped with advanced RF accessories such as RF MicroPositioners, RF cables, calibration substrates, and TITANRF probes to ensure more accurate RF measurements

With the integration of VNA and DUT, the collaboration between MPI and Rohde&Schwarz, and new advanced calibration technologies, TS2500-RF has become a comprehensive measurement solution capable of handling the complexity of RE production testing
