Abstract
Disclosed is a network system and method for remotely controlling the automatic test equipment (or tester) in a semiconductor testing process. A plurality of clients remotely controls the tester through a server. The server comprises an operating system that is capable of communicating with various user interfaces and platforms. Accordingly, the tester may be remotely controlled, regardless of the particular platform of the client. Further, the tester may be remotely controlled on a web environment, as well as on a local area network linked to multiple workstations. The clients can also receive results of the tester to monitor the testing.
