Abstract
In this work we illustrate a means of monitoring probing processes in-situ. In addition, we show meaningful ways of interpreting data gathered during the probing process that allow real time process modification that leads to increased yields and throughput. Through this new technique, a test operation is able to minimize yield loss due to the probing process
