About WaferPro Express
In a typical R&D device characterization lab, the integration of measurement equip-
ment such as benchtop instruments, wafer probers and other components can be a very
complex and daunting task. Often times, it takes months to integrate all the parts and
accessories and get the system up and running to execute the very first measurements.
Each one of the components generally comes with its own firmware or software control
and the integration is left to the end user who often needs to rely either on solid pro-
gramming skills or use of specialized test software that only works on one test cell but
not others. With WaferPro Express, Keysight provides a unified measurement platform
that takes the software integration complexity out of the end user’s job. WaferPro Ex-
press (WaferPro-XP) software allows users to setup and execute automated wafer-level
measurements of semiconductor devices such as transistors and circuit components.
WaferPro-XP drives Keysight (and select non-Keysight) instruments as well as prober
control software (including temperature control), and provides powerful data handling
and display capabilities. WaferPro-XP’s modern and intuitive user interface allows test
engineers to reduce the necessary steps to setup the system for automated measure-
ments.

(e.g., Cascade Microtech Elite 300 or SUMMIT 12000 systems) WaferPro Express can also be installed on Cascade PC controller when running with
Cascade probe control software Velox 2.0.
