Overview
Other test equipment in semiconductor Test & Measurement covers specialized gear like probe stations, parametric analyzers, burn-in ovens, and automated test fixtures used for wafer, packaged device, and module testing. These units enable electrical characterization, reliability stress, and functional verification. Buyers prioritize traceable calibration, compatible firmware and interfaces, and spare-part availability. Used items save cost but need careful inspection of calibration status, consumables, and software support before purchase.
FAQ
What should I check when buying used semiconductor test equipment?
Verify calibration certificates and dates, review service and repair records, confirm firmware and interface compatibility, inspect consumables (probes, sockets), and check for visible wear or damage.
How do I ensure safe shipping and handling?
Use carriers experienced with lab/semiconductor gear, require ESD protection, shock-absorbing crating, climate control for sensitive units, and full insurance. Arrange professional de-installation and reinstallation if needed.
What maintenance is typically required after purchase?
Plan regular calibrations, firmware updates, probe and socket replacement, cleaning of optical/electrical contacts, and keep spare modules. Consider a service contract for complex systems.
