Cascade Microtech Velox Flyer - Manual

Introducing a Major
Breakthrough in Probe
Station Productivity
Cross-platform software with Velox 2.0
Cascade Microtech has evolved its probe station user environ-
ment to an unprecedented level of power and efficiency with
the latest release of Velox. This consolidates our Nucleus™
and ProberBench™ system software packages into a universal
platform that offers extraordinary gains in speed and productivity.
Cascade Microtech does it again
Velox provides yet another proof point why
Cascade Microtech leads the way forward
in wafer probing systems and
technology. Velox delivers the
single most powerful and flexible
user environment available in the
semiconductor lab. Because Velox
harnesses the flexibility of Nucleus
and the power of ProberBench, it
enables the fastest time-to-job-
completion and improved productivity
for mixed environment labs. Velox is
backwards compatible with all current
Cascade Microtech platforms and at the same time provides
a “Go Forward” software platform with coherence to the
Microsoft Windows roadmap.
With Velox, everybody wins
Efficiency in wafer-level testing is a challenge that impacts
several functional areas. If you’re a Lab Manager or Team
Leader, you’re charged with getting test data to the production
floor quickly. If you’re an IT manager, you’re responsible for
maintaining a secure connection between the lab and corporate
networks. If you’re a finance manager, you need to ensure that
you’re maximizing your return on investment for lab equipment.
Velox resolves these diverse issues by presenting all users with a
single software platform. With Velox you get a tightly coordinated
team effort that eliminates redundancy and focuses expertise.
You achieve better results, faster. And since Velox operates under
Windows 7, you achieve a level of network security not previously
possible. All the while, you’re extracting maximum utility from
your lab’s equipment budget.
The ultimate in productivity
It’s long been shown that computer
users who work in a single operating
environment will learn how to
manipulate it to achieve maximum
efficiency. In multiple platform
environments, their efficiency
inevitably drops.
Velox addresses this issue head-
on with a single interface that puts
all operators on the same page at
the same time. Uniform operations
mean minimum learning curves and
maximum understanding of how to achieve the best results
in the shortest time. Engineers can move with ease and
confidence from one system to another. You work in a seamless
environment, one that requires a minimum of training to operate
with confidence.
A perpetual pipeline to accelerated performance
Cascade Microtech has committed to semi-annual upgrades of
Velox via a new subscription service. You now have a universal
platform that continually expands in power and functionality as we
add new capabilities. All probe station users, from the occasional
to the most experienced, stand to benefit from a continual flow of
research and development into existing and future products.
Multiple paths to automated productivity
One powerful path to increased efficiency is the automation
of repeatable test and measurement processes. Velox gives
you several options to simplify the setup and execution
of automated sequences on your probe stations. Many
automation features are now standard with Velox, such as
AutoAlign, which measures die size, tracks wafer expansion
and permits accurate sub-die navigation. Also, you can
address overall test automation through Velox compatibility
with WaferPro Express from Keysight Technologies,
“With Nucleus, I
was only using the
bare minimum.
Velox has given
me the incentive to
incorporate new
things and functions
into my repertoire.”
