Optimized for throughput and cost, STS is a production-ready ATE solution for RF, mixed-signal, and MEMS semiconductor devices. STS is ready for the production test cell, with support for manipulators, handlers, and wafer probers, and a standard spring pin layout enables highly transferable test programs and load boards. STS features a unified set of software tools for quickly and efficiently developing, debugging, and deploying test programs. To complete the solution, NI offers comprehensive engineering services, bring-up services, training, and support.
- Comprehensive Portfolio of RF, Digital, and DC Instrumentation – You can customize new STS configurations and upgrade existing testers to include the instrumentation resources you need while maintaining test program and load board transferability.
- Unified Software Experience – STS Software provides the tools needed to develop, debug, and deploy multisite test programs, including pin mapping, test limit importing/exporting, binning, and STDF reporting.
- Prebuilt Test Code—You can use drag-and-drop software templates for common semiconductor test operations such as continuity checks, leakage tests, digital pattern bursts, or RF waveform generation or acquisition for the latest wireless standards like 5G NR.
- Test Cell Integration—The standard docking and interfacing infrastructure allows for seamless integration with manipulators, device handlers for package test, and wafer probers for wafer test.
- System Calibration – You can perform system-level in-situ calibration of digital and DC resources up to the spring probe interface and RF resources up to the blind mates, with options to consume vector de-embedding files for calibrating up to the DUT plane.
- Services and Support—Comprehensive engineering services, bring-up services, training, and technical support help you get up and running quickly.
