Abstract:
A probe card adapted for testing at least one integrated circuit integrated on corresponding at least one die of a semiconductor material wafer, the probe card including a board adapted for the coupling to a tester apparatus, and a plurality of probes coupled to the said board, wherein the probe card comprises a plurality of replaceable elementary units, each one comprising at least one of said probes for contacting externally-accessible terminals of an integrated circuit under test, the plurality of replaceable elementary units being arranged so as to correspond to an arrangement of at least one die on the semiconductor material wafer containing integrated circuits to be tested.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a circuit architecture for the parallel supplying of power during an electric or electromagnetic testing, such as EMWS or EWS or WLBI testing, of a plurality of electronic devices (2) each integrated on a same semiconductor wafer (1) wherein the electronic devices (1) are neatly provided on the semiconductor wafer (1) through integration techniques and have edges (5) bounded by separation scribe lines (7). Advantageously according to the invention, the circuit architecture comprises: - at least one conductive grid (4), interconnecting at least one group of the electronic devices (2) and having a portion being external (14) to the devices of the group and a portion being internal (13) to the devices of the group; the external portion (14) of the conductive grid (4) being extended also along the separation scribe lines (7); the internal portion (13) being extended within at least a part of the devices of the group; interconnection pads (6) between the external portion (14) and the internal portion (13) of the conductive grid (4) being provided on at least a part of the devices of the group, the interconnection pads (6) forming, along with the internal and external portions, power supply lines which are common to different electronic devices (2) of the group.
