As semiconductor devices push boundaries in complexity and performance, from AI accelerators to automotive-grade ICs, the need for precision and efficiency in wafer test operations has never been greater. That’s why FormFactor has introduced Velox Dash™, a modern touchscreen-based interface designed to revolutionize how engineers interact with their probe stations.

Velox Dash goes beyond just being an interface, it’s built to keep up with the fast pace and precision demands of modern wafer testing. Seamlessly integrating into FormFactor’s fully and semi-automated engineering probe stations, including the SUMMIT200, TESLA200, TESLA300, CM300xi, , CM300xi-ULN, and EVOLVITY™ 300 Velox Dash replaces both the hardware joystick and the eVue remote control with a consolidated, intuitive user experience.

With its modern touchscreen, Velox Dash offers engineers:

  • Instant access to common functionalities like wafer loading/unloading, chuck positioning, scope settings, and wafer map stepping.
  • Streamlined automation tools that enhance throughput and repeatability.
  • Clear system feedback via a real-time Control Center panel.

No matter if you’re a veteran engineer or just getting started, Velox Dash makes probe station control easy and intuitive from the start.


Designed for Speed, Precision, and Flexibility

Velox Dash was designed with real users in mind, here’s what it brings to the table:

  • Motion Control That Keeps You in Command

The on-screen XY joystick and scrollable Z-wheels make fine positioning of the chuck, scope, and motorized positioners both precise and intuitive. Operators can perform adjustments “blindly,” maintaining full visual focus on the test environment.

  • Smart Thermal Control

Built-in thermal chuck management enables users to set predefined or custom temperatures quickly. All key thermal data is displayed both in a dedicated screen and on the main dashboard, making environmental management easier than ever.

  • Multi-Finger Interaction

With simple gestures like drag, joystick mode, and even a 45° angle lock, Velox Dash makes navigating your setup feel natural, just like using a smartphone.

  • Lockable Interface for Shared Labs

In collaborative lab environments, engineers can lock Velox Dash with a custom message, helping streamline communication across shifts and teams.


Why It Matters for Wafer Testing

Wafer test demands are intensifying as technologies advance toward 5G, IoT, and 3D IC architectures. Every inefficiency, from misalignments to delayed wafer loading, can impact yield and time-to-market. Velox Dash directly addresses these issues by:

  • Reducing probe station setup time
  • Improving user consistency
  • Enhancing thermal and mechanical control precision

It’s not just about making things easier, it’s about helping you get consistent, reliable results for the cutting-edge devices you’re testing.
