The ACCRETECH UF3000EX is a 300 mm wafer prober used to position semiconductor wafers for electrical testing. It performs wafer loading, alignment, stepping and probe-card contact as part of a complete test cell connected to a compatible tester and test head.
The actual loader, chuck, probe-card setup, test-head interface and temperature-control equipment depend on the specific pre-owned machine available. For an initial inquiry, send your current prober or tester model, a clear wafer or device photo and a short description of the required test process or equipment problem.

Wafer and Test Application Compatibility
The UF3000EX model name and 300 mm wafer capability do not by themselves confirm that an available machine can run a particular wafer test. Compatibility also depends on the device layout, wafer condition, probe card, tester, test-head interface, chuck configuration and required contact environment.
Only basic information is needed for the first discussion:
- Your current wafer prober or tester model if the UF3000EX will replace existing equipment
- A clear photo of the wafer, device or current test setup
- The probe-card or test-head model where this information is readily available
- A short description of the required test process or current equipment problem
Detailed wafer maps, interface drawings, probe-card dimensions, temperature requirements and communication settings can be reviewed later when the available machine appears relevant to the project.
Tester, Test Head and Probe Card Integration
The UF3000EX handles and positions the wafer, while electrical measurements are performed by the connected tester. Stable operation therefore depends on correct mechanical, electrical and software integration between the prober, probe card, test head, manipulator and tester.
An existing probe card or test head should not be assumed to fit the available machine based only on the equipment brand. Its mounting arrangement, interface components, card dimensions, contact position and communication requirements should be checked before installation.
Available UF3000EX Configuration and Delivery Scope
Individual ACCRETECH UF3000EX wafer probers may differ in loader arrangement, chuck type, temperature-control equipment, test-head interface, manipulator, probe-card setup, wafer identification, cleaning functions, software and factory-automation connections. Before purchase, the available machine should be reviewed to confirm whether its actual test and wafer-handling configuration is suitable for the intended device and tester. The final delivery scope is based only on the quotation and confirmed equipment list; testers, test heads, manipulators, probe cards, chillers, cassettes, computers and interface components are included only when specifically stated.
Receiving, Startup and Initial Wafer Check
The UF3000EX should be inspected and tested in stages before valuable production wafers are introduced.
- Inspect the packing, machine cabinet, loader, wafer stage, chuck, control panel and visible handling mechanisms.
- Photograph any impact marks, loose components, damaged cables or displaced assemblies before moving the equipment.
- Compare the received machine, loader parts, interfaces and accessories with the confirmed delivery list.
- Check that the chuck, wafer stage, alignment system and handling mechanisms remain secured after transportation.
- Confirm the electrical supply, grounding, compressed air, vacuum, cooling and other facility requirements of the actual machine.
- Start the controller and record all alarm messages before resetting the machine or changing its settings.
- Run the loader, alignment and stage mechanisms without a production wafer and observe their movement.
- After basic operation is stable, use a suitable non-production wafer for loading, alignment, stepping and unloading checks.
The probe card, test head and tester should then be connected and verified separately before electrical results are evaluated. Stop testing if wafer handling is unstable, stage movement is abnormal, mechanical interference occurs or the same alarm repeatedly returns.
Contact Results, Alarms and Parts Support
Unstable test results may involve the probe card, contact position, wafer alignment, chuck condition, test-head connection, temperature control, tester settings or communication between the connected systems.
Wafer-loading faults, alignment errors, vacuum problems, wafer-map issues and inconsistent probe marks should be investigated before production continues. Record the alarm message and the stage of the test cycle in which the problem occurs before resetting the machine.
Photos of the wafer, probe card, chuck, test-head connection and alarm screen, together with a short operating video where available, can provide a practical starting point for review.
Our team can assist with initial fault analysis, component identification, replacement-part matching and repair discussion. Related sensors, motors, drivers, boards, cables, pneumatic parts, vacuum components, loader assemblies, stage parts and chuck-related components can also be checked where available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the ACCRETECH UF3000EX test our 300 mm wafers?
This depends on the wafer, device layout, tester, test head, probe card, chuck configuration and required test conditions. Send basic wafer and test-setup information for an initial review.
Is the tester or test head included with the UF3000EX?
Only testers, test heads, manipulators and interface components specifically listed in the quotation or confirmed delivery scope are included.
Can we use our existing probe card?
Compatibility must be checked using the probe-card type, dimensions, mounting arrangement, test-head interface and required contact setup.
Does the available machine support hot or low-temperature testing?
The chuck and temperature-control equipment installed on the specific machine must be confirmed. Temperature capability should not be assumed from the UF3000EX model name alone.
Can you assist with loading, alignment or contact problems?
Yes. Send the machine model, alarm information, wafer and probe-card photos and an operating video where available. We can assist with initial fault review, parts matching and repair discussion.
Contact Us About the ACCRETECH UF3000EX
Send your current wafer prober or tester model, wafer or device photos and a short description of the test requirement or equipment problem. We will review the basic application first and continue with the necessary probe-card, test-head interface, machine configuration, replacement-parts or repair details afterward.
