Semi-ATE

Semiconductor Automated Test Equipment

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 written purely in Python (noarch) and provides besides libraries also a plugin to the Spyder IDE.
