Abstract:
The systems, apparatuses, and methods herein can provide a multi-site positioning mechanism suitable for long-term testing of a device(s) under test (DUT) (e.g. semiconductor wafers) across a range of temperatures with or without a controlled environment. The systems, apparatuses, and methods herein include mounting components, mechanisms, and structures that can provide excellent mechanical stability, permit relatively close working distance optics with high resolution, enable fine positioning at elevated temperature in a controlled environment with minimal thermal perturbation. The systems, apparatuses, and methods herein can be provided with modularity, for example as modular with rails and test sites that can be easily added or removed, and that can permit access to probe modules in a densely packed array.

Claim (Index 27):
A method of positioning a probe module for observing and testing arrays of devices under test (DUTs), the method comprising:\n grossly positioning a site assembly carrying the probe module along at least one rail, the at least one rail being supported above a DUT array at each end by at least two brackets, the at least two brackets disposed on opposite sides of the DUT array such that the rail can be positioned perpendicular to two linear guide features and parallel to a direction (X), the at least two brackets controlling a position of the ends of the rail in the direction (Y) and the direction (Z) and at least one of the brackets also controlling a position of the rail in the direction (X) and at least one of the brackets controlling rotation of the rail about a longitudinal axis of the rail; and finely positioning the probe module along at least one of the direction (X), the direction (Y), the direction (Z), and rotation about a (Z) axis using the site assembly, thereby positioning the probe module for test.
