Abstract

A method and system for testing wafers, and particularly a wafer test system employing probes to provide for electrical contact with a device under test (DUT) which is located on a wafer. More particularly, also provided is a method and system for implementing wafer tests where the probes first contact a simulated wafer which incorporates an array of spaced load cells to determine the optimum probe overdrive. The DUT is then tested at the optimum overdrive.
