PIC testing on wafer level

Automated testing of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) before packaging is crucial to achieve higher throughput.


The photonic test prober SIRIUS, developed within a MEKOPP consortium project led by IMS, offers an automated solution for optical and electrical testing at wafer level. As described in this Mikroniek article, a demonstrator was set up to validate its functionality for wafer testing, while parallel research focused on simplifying the manipulators for the optical probes and collision avoidance for trench coupling.
