How does the cost of a Tile compare to polyamide probe cards or ceramic bladed cards?
The initial cost is higher but with one or two realignments, the cost of ownership is much less. First year costs are generally less and uptime is much higher due to crash resistant design. Celadon can quote probe cards with prepaid repairs for alignments and rebuilds so you can compare costs. Total test cost may be less when you consider ROI for Multi-Site cards. AttoFast™ cards with Celadon Triax cabling systems settle quickly which permits much faster die to die moves which may eliminate having to purchase additional testers which makes overall system and test costs much less than regular probe cards.
