Introduction to Questor Systems - 1988 Edition

Summary : Questor systems consist of those types of equipment used in the design, verification, handling, inspection and test of integrated circuits. This equipment, although critical in assuring device design or design performance or process performance, is distinct from either wafer fabrication or assembly.
