Abstract
There is an inspection system including multiple inspection units configured to inspect substrates, wherein each of the inspection units includes: a tester configured to inspect a substrate; a moving part configured to hold and move the substrate relative to the tester; and a frame structure configured to accommodate the tester and the moving part, wherein the frame structure of one inspection unit includes: a first frame to be connected to a frame structure of another inspection unit; and a second frame that accommodates at least the moving part and is configured to move relative to the first frame to extract the moving part from the first frame.
Claims9
An inspection system including multiple inspection units configured to inspect substrates,
- wherein each of the inspection units includes:
- a tester configured to inspect a substrate;
- a moving part configured to hold and move the substrate relative to the tester;
- and
- a frame structure configured to accommodate the tester and the moving part,
- wherein the frame structure of one inspection unit includes:
- a first frame to be connected to a frame structure of another inspection unit;
- and
- a second frame that accommodates at least the moving part and is configured to move relative to the first frame to extract the moving part from the first frame,
- wherein the first frame has a tester space accommodating the tester and a second frame space accommodating the second frame,
- wherein the tester has a tester-side interface that projects from the tester space toward the second frame space and is brought into contact with the substrate transferred by the moving part, and
- the first frame has a tester moving mechanism configured to move the tester in a height direction, and the tester-side interface is disposed in the tester space by the movement of the tester.
