    Abstract: A testing system and process comprises a converged test platform for structural testing and system testing of an integrated circuit device. The testing system comprises a converged test platform supported by a baseboard of an automated test assembly. The converged test platform comprises a DUT socket for testing an integrated circuit device, at least one testing electronic component selectively electrically coupled to the DUT socket by at least one switch operable to electrically switch at least some testing signals between the automated testing assembly and the DUT socket to the at least one testing electronic component for both structural testing and system testing of the integrated circuit device within the same test flow. The switch(es) and testing electronic component(s) (e.g., an FPGA) can be reprogrammable for testing flexibility and faster through put. Associated processes and methods are provided for both class and system testing using the converged test platform for back-end and front-end testing.

    Abstract: A microelectronic test device comprising an organic substrate, a probe holder, and an interposer disposed between the organic substrate and the probe holder, wherein the interposer has a coefficient of thermal expansion that is less than a coefficient of thermal expansion of the organic substrate. The interposer may effectively decouple the organic substrate from probes in the probe holder, which may substantially reduce or eliminate probe misalignment due to the coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch between the organic substrate and other components of the microelectronic test device and to provide require stiffness to the organic substrate.

    Abstract: A test apparatus and method of testing a DUT are described. The apparatus includes a receiver and transmitter path each having a pair of switches that switch between a bypass position and a direct position. The bypass position is used for low frequency signals communicated through the apparatus. The direct position allows higher frequency signals to be double converted by upconversion to an IF signal and bandpass filtered before being downconverted to a predetermined frequency. Both variable and fixed LO signals are used to convert the double converted signals so that the same IF may be used independent of the higher frequency signal received or transmitted. Bandpass filtering is applied before and after amplification of the IF signal. Lowpass filtering before and after the double conversion use LPFs of different cutoff frequencies.
