Semi-ATE is a tester- and instruments AGNOSTIC framework for Semiconductor ATE ASIC testing projects.

This means that the system is not build around a specific instrument (let's consider an ATE tester for a moment as a super instrument😋), it rather focuses on organizing semiconductor testing in such a way that all use- (and special) corner cases have their well known place. This enables the users (read: DE's, TCE's, TE's & PE's) to focus on the REAL work, being the writing of good, fast and stable tests. Organizing tests into test-programs and test-programs in to flows is handled by wizards, so the only code that needs writing is the actual test! (motto: Code is our enemy)

The Semi-ATE package is writen purely in Python (noarch) and provides besides libraries also a plugin to the Spyder IDE.

Installation

Setup Semi-ATE

Setup on Windows

Assuming that the current directory is Semi-ATE root.

open a Windows command prompt(CMD) and run the following command:

Powershell -ep Unrestricted -file setup.ps1

Before starting the applications

Once, each step of the setup.ps1 is succeeded, we are good to go.

make sure conda environment is activated

Spyder-IDE:

  1. start spyder from the terminal to create your own project: $ spyder
  • create a new Semi-ATE project and then your own tests and testprograms

Applications: to test the generated testprogram in a virtual environment, follow the steps below:

  1. make sure you got an mqtt-broker runs locally in your machine. mosquitto can be used for this purpose.

    For further information please contact your IT.

  2. Make sure to change the current directory as described below:

  • from the root directory, change directory to: ATE/Tester/TES/apps

xml file (le123456000.xml) should be adapted to support the new configured sbins, the testprogram path could be
copied from Spyder-IDE directly. (the information should be adapted inside the 'Station' section)

  1. now, you can start the master and control application.

    • start master and control applications in different terminal (environment must be activated in both terminals) $ python launch_master.py (terminal 1) $ python launch_control.py (terminal 2)

    hint: master and control apps could be configured via it's configuration files 'master_config_file.json' and 'control_config_file.json'

  2. after all steps 1) to 4) are done start a browser your choice and past the following url: http://localhost:8081/

you will be able to see the MiniSCT UI
