Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Smart Scale tester is used on the semiconductor test floor. Test systems of this class perform final test (FT) on packaged devices and wafer probe (sort) on un-sawn wafers. The tester is positioned after wafer fabrication and before device shipment. The system interfaces with a prober or handler to contact the DUT.
