The probe station is one of the important testing equipment in the semiconductor (including integrated circuits, discrete devices, optoelectronic devices, sensors) industry. It is widely used in the precision electrical measurement of complex and high-speed devices, aiming to ensure quality and reliability, and reduce time and cost of the device fabrication process. By cooperating with the test equipment, the probe station records the chips whose parameter characteristics do not meet the requirements, and removes them before entering the subsequent process, which greatly reduces the manufacturing cost of the device. The probe station is mainly used for applications such as wafer inspection, chip development and failure analysis in the wafer manufacturing process.

IDMs testing can be divided into three categories according to the production process: verification testing, wafer testing and packaging testing. The wafer inspection process requires the use of a tester and a probe station. The tester/machine is used to test the function and performance of the chip. The probe station realizes the connection between the chip under test and the tester. The bare chip on the circle is tested for function and electrical parameters or radio frequency test, which can screen the good and bad products of the chip.

The probe station can place electrical probes, optical probes or radio frequency probes on silicon wafers, so that it can cooperate with test instruments/semiconductor test systems to test chips/semiconductor devices. These tests can be simple, such as continuity or isolation checks, or complex, including full functional testing of microcircuits. Testing can be performed before or after sawing the wafer into individual dies. Testing at the wafer level allows manufacturers to test chip devices multiple times during production, which can provide information on which process steps introduce defects into the final product. It also enables manufacturers to test dies before packaging, which is important in applications where packaging costs are high relative to device costs. Probe stations can also be used in R&D, product development, and failure analysis applications.

A Fully Automatic Probe Station, often referred to simply as an "Automatic Probe Station," is a specialized piece of equipment used in semiconductor and microelectronics testing and characterization. It is designed to automate the process of probing and testing semiconductor devices, integrated circuits (ICs), microchips, and other electronic components. Compared with manual and semi-automatic probe stations, the fully automatic probe station adds a wafer material handling unit (MHU) and pattern recognition (automatic alignment). Responsible for the transportation and positioning of wafers, so that the dies on the wafers come into contact with the probes in turn and are tested one by one. It can work continuously for 24 hours and is usually used for chip mass production or has some special requirements such as processing thin wafers, packaging substrates, etc.
