HIOKI Bare Board Tester FA1823

HIOKI FA1823 Flying Probe Tester

The HIOKI FA1823 is a flying probe tester designed for reliable 4-wire testing of ultra-fine pads on advanced IC substrates. It enables high-precision probing for extremely small pads and bumps, making it suitable for advanced semiconductor substrates, fine-pitch boards and high-density IC substrate inspection.

Overview

FA1823 is designed to support the next generation of high-density substrate inspection. By combining simultaneous double-sided inspection, ultra-fine Kelvin probing, automatic probe calibration and low-voltage high insulation resistance testing, the system enables reliable inspection of advanced IC substrates with very fine pads and dense circuit patterns.

Key Features

Feature Description
Ultra-fine pad inspection Designed for reliable 4-wire testing of ultra-fine pads on advanced IC substrates.
Probing to Φ19 µm bumps Supports high-precision probing to extremely small bumps when using the dedicated ultra-fine Kelvin probe.
Simultaneous double-sided inspection Equipped with four arms, two on the top side and two on the bottom side, enabling simultaneous double-sided board inspection.
Low-voltage high insulation resistance testing Supports high insulation resistance testing up to 100 GΩ with 10 V measurement voltage, helping reduce electrical stress on advanced IC substrates.
