Abstract

See full text

A system comprises a prober unit, and a control unit. The prober unit comprises electrical probes. The control unit configured to: cause the prober unit to make contact between the electrical probes and contact pads of a target device; cause the prober unit to increment a contact overdrive by a specified amount to increase a contact pressure between the electrical probes and the contact pads of the target device; measure a contact resistance between the electrical probes and the contact pads of the target device, subsequent to incrementing the contact overdrive; compare the measured contact resistance with a contact resistance threshold; and determine whether to perform an electrical characterization measurement of the target device, based on a result of comparing the measured contact resistance with the contact resistance threshold.
