Semitronix WLBI Test System
An Efficient and Stable System for Wafer Level Burn-In Test

Introduction

The Wafer Level Burn-In (WLBI) test system is specifically designed for silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) wafers. It conducts long-term high-temperature gate bias (HTGB) and high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB) stress tests on wafers to efficiently screen for early-life failures. Featuring a visual interface, the system’s software supports online wafer map editing and generates comprehensive burn-in reports.

The Semi-Automated Burn-In System (B5260M) supports parallel processing of 6 wafers simultaneously, accommodates high-density probe cards, and with its high-voltage chuck can process up to 720 dies in a single burn-in cycle.

The Fully Automated Burn-In System (B5260) supports parallel processing of 12 wafers (6&8 inch) simultaneously and can process up to 2,640 dies in a single burn-in cycle. The system enables gate bias application during HTRB stress testing for diverse customer testing requirements.

Advantages

(1)Stable Test Environment

          The system ensures precise temperature control and achieves overshoot-free heating at 10°C/min ramp rate with temperature uniformity within 1℃, maintaining fluctuations within ±1℃ after reaching setpoint temperature.
