The prober uses LabMaster control software, an intuitive graphics user interface which centralizes real-time monitoring and test setup of the prober, accessories, and test progress. Mapping capability provides real-time yield analysis of both the wafer and lot under test, and advanced utilities reportedly permit the experienced user to design sophisticated test routines. LabMaster enables the Pegasus S200A to seamlessly integrate with other testers using standard communication protocols, while simultaneously communicating with all prober accessories.

Cascade Microtech’s 20 GHz P30 Pyramid Probe for high-volume wafer testing of RF filters and switches uses unique membrane probe technology to reportedly achieve higher yields, lower maintenance and minimal down time. The P30’s lithographic probes accuracy are said to alleviate uncontrolled impedance, which is characteristic of other probe types, and their compact size enables multi-site testing.
