Overview

EG5/300: Introduced in 1999, the EG5/300 is a new generation of wafer prober from Electroglas. It is targeted at the emerging 300mm wafer probing market. The EG5/300 utilizes a completely new system architecture that allows for faster and more accurate probing over the larger wafer sizes. Closed loop motion control and linear motors ensure precise wafer positioning over a wide range of temperatures and operating conditions. A modular design allows for configuration flexibility to meet the diverse needs of the emerging 300mm market. The EG5/300 uses a new version of the Company's EGCommander system software, which runs under the Windows-NT operating system.
