HF-Video
 

For Semiconductor Prober Testing, Optem® Offers the HF Video Microscope

With the trend toward larger wafer probing test heads to accommodate larger semiconductor wafers, microscope eyepieces are ascending farther away from the subject wafer. This higher positioning makes through-eyepiece viewing of the test subject uncomfortable and impractical.

Our HF Video Microscope System reduces operator fatigue by side-stepping eyepiece viewing, in favor of more accessible images on a video monitor.

The HF Video Microscope System mounts directly and easily to your test head and remains safely in position during manipulation. Contained within a 54 mm diameter tube, this compact optical system accommodates any size test head with an aperture greater than 63.5 mm (2.5"). In addition, several mounting kits are available to ensure proper fit with a wide variety of test head brands and models.

Other features include: 

  • 7:1 Parfocal Zoom Ratio eliminates refocusing throughout the continuous zoom range and promotes easier target acquisition 
  • Available with motorized X-Y Scanning, Zoom and Focus are controlled from one controller to streamline viewing functions and enhance repeatability Adjustable X-Y End-Stops prevent damage and maladjustment resulting from microscope contact with the test head walls 
  • Fixed Mounting Configuration eliminates microscope manipulation in and out of test head, minimizing damage and improving subject change-out speed 
  • Unique Internal Focus ranging over 10mm for smooth, fast and accurate focus adjustment 
  • Uniform Oblique (Dark-field) Illumination throughout the zoom range eliminates back reflections from wafer increasing accuracy 
  • True-Color Rendition of chip with coaxial illumination improves video image and test accuracy 
  • Quick and Easy System removal from the tester streamlines periodic service and cleaning 
  • Theta Adjustment quickly aligns optical system to wafer minimizing subject change-out time and increasing repeatability.
