Manufacturers have traditionally measured wafers using separate
testers for high and low voltages. However, demand for power
semiconductors is rapidly growing due to their multifunctionality,
higher performance, and next-generation devices such as silicon
carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN). As a result, customers
need a solution to more accurately and efficiently test their
devices and reduce time to market.
Keysight’s solution addresses these challenges by allowing power
device makers to perform process control monitoring (PCM) and wafer
acceptance testing (WAT) in manufacturing. The new test system
delivers the following benefits:
- High-Voltage Capability to Meet Future Needs: The
high-voltage switching matrix (HV-SWM) supports up to 3kV
requirements, is scalable up to 29 pins, and integrates with
precision source measure units (SMUs). It enables highly flexible
measurements from low current down to sub-pA resolution up to 3kV
at any pins. Additionally, high-voltage capacitance measurement and
various parametric tests are supported.
- One-pass Testing Increases Productivity and Efficiency:
The HV-SWM enables a single test system instead of separate
high-voltage and low-voltage test systems. Utilizing one system is
more efficient and reduces the required footprint and testing time.
The system integrates with factory automation environments using
Keysight’s SPECS-FA software, which improves the efficiency of the
entire production process.
- Enhanced Safety and Reliability: The test system has
built-in protection circuitry and machine control, ensuring
operators and equipment are not impacted by high-voltage surges
during a test, and is compliant with safety regulations, including
SEMI S2 standards.
Shinji Terasawa, Vice President and General Manager of
Keysight's Wafer Test Solutions, said: “Keysight is thrilled to
introduce our new wafer test system for power semiconductors,
building on our long tenure of testing advanced semiconductors. Our
mission is to lead the market by providing cutting-edge solutions
that anticipate and meet the rapidly evolving needs of the
semiconductor sector. This latest innovation exemplifies our
unwavering commitment to the industry.”
