Abstract

See full text

Double-sided probe systems with thermal control systems and related methods. Thermally-controlled, double-sided probe systems include a probe assembly configured to test one or more devices under test (DUTs) of a substrate and a chuck configured to support the substrate. The probe assembly includes a thermal control system configured to at least partially control a substrate temperature of the substrate while the probe assembly tests the DUT(s). The chuck is configured to support the substrate such that the probe assembly has access to each of a first substrate side of the substrate and a second substrate side of the substrate while the substrate is operatively supported by the chuck. In some examples, methods of operating double-sided probe systems include regulating the substrate temperature with the thermal control system.
