Test equipment is part of assembly line testing of semiconductor devices that saves manual effort and time of a semiconductor manufacturing process while ensuring the quality of these devices. The size of such test equipment can range from small computer-driven dedicated fixed purpose testers to large programmable machines. The cost of the equipment also varies accordingly. Probe cards are test equipment devices that are used by semiconductor device manufacturers to perform wafer test or wafer sort. Probe cards are used to test the semiconductor die or chips while the die is still constituted on the semiconductor wafer.
