Abstract:
1. A wireless automatic test equipment for substantially simultaneously testing a plurality of semiconductor components formed onto a semiconductor wafer, comprising: a receiver module configured to receive a plurality of testing operation outcomes from the plurality of semiconductor components to provide a plurality of recovered testing outcomes, the plurality of testing operation outcomes indicating outcomes of their respective semiconductor components in performing a testing operation; a metric measurement module configured to determine a plurality of signal metrics of the plurality of recovered testing outcomes; and a testing processor configured to determine a group of semiconductor components from among the plurality of semiconductor components whose outcomes are similar based upon the plurality of recovered testing outcomes and to determine a location of the group of semiconductor components within the semiconductor wafer based upon the plurality of signal metrics; and a plurality of receiving antennas, coupled to the receiver module, configured to observe the plurality of testing operation outcomes from a plurality of directions in three dimensional space.
