A wafer probe station is provided with a wafer chuck, a wafer fastened on
the chuck by vacuum suction, and a probe needle arrangement above the
wafer to test the wafer at high frequencies by contacting selected pads
on the wafer and alternately pads on a calibration substrate also
fastened on the wafer chuck. A procedure for reproduction of a
calibration position of an aligned and afterwards displaced calibration
substrate uses first and second measurement systems to calculate a new
offset position of the calibration substrate after a second wafer is
loaded on the wafer chuck. In a last step, the wafer chuck is driven by a
4axis manipulator stage to the new calibration position from the recent
position.
