Abstract: This invention provides a manipulator for positioning a test head relative to a prober or other reference. The manipulator has a frame; a linkage coupled to the frame and including first and second links having freedom of rotation about respective pivots and a third link coupled to the first and second links such that the third link has translational and rotational degrees of freedom of movement; and an adaptor coupled to the third link and configured to attach to a test head. The invention also provides a method of controlling the manipulator.

Abstract: A probe assembly for use with a calibration/validation robot to calibrate/validate a plurality of semiconductor tester channels is disclosed. The probe assembly includes a bracket adapted for mounting to the robot and a probe element for engaging test points disposed on the semiconductor tester channels. A magnetic attach/release mechanism cooperates with the bracket and probe element to allow for the separation of the probe element from the bracket whenever the probe element meets a force that exceeds a predetermined value.
