Abstract

The invention(s) relates to a wafer test system including a circuit to communicate an overdrive to a chuck, the chuck moving a wafer towards a probe head responsive to the overdrive, a circuit to measure a contact resistance of at least one channel in each of a plurality of dies associated with the wafer using the probe head, a circuit to compute a per channel standard deviation responsive to measuring the contact resistance, a circuit to compare the standard deviation on the at least one channel to a threshold, and a circuit to increase the overdrive responsive to the comparison.
