  • System and Method for the Probing of a Wafer
    Publication number: 20070080705
    Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for resuming the probing of a wafer includes identifying a data set associated with a wafer. The data set identifies at least one unprobed die supported on the surface of the wafer. The method also includes determining that the data set associated with the wafer is useable and generating a probe map of the wafer from the data set. The probe map identifies a physical position associated with each unprobed die supported on the surface of the wafer. The probe map and one or more probe commands are communicated to a probe module to drive the probe module in resuming the probe of the wafer.
