    Abstract: Probe cards are configured with protective circuitry suitable for use in electrical testing of semiconductor dice without damage to the probe cards. Protective fuses are provided in electrical communication with conductive traces and probe elements (e.g., probe needles) of a probe card. The fuses may be active or passive fuses, and are preferably self-resetting, repairable, and/or replaceable. Typically, the fuses will be interposed in, or located adjacent to, conductive traces residing over a surface of the probe card. Methods of fabricating a probe card are provided, as well as various probe card configurations. A semiconductor die testing system using the probe card is also provided.

    Abstract: A circuit board assembly comprising a laminate substrate and a surface mount device having a CTE less than that of the laminate substrate and attached with at least one solder joint to a first surface of the laminate substrate. The assembly further includes a localized stiffener attached to a second surface of the laminate substrate so as to be directly opposite the circuit device. The localized stiffener is formed of a material and is shaped so that, when attached to the laminate substrate, the stiffener is capable of increasing the thermal cycle fatigue life of the one or more solder joints that attach the device to the substrate.

    Abstract: A method (80) of reducing stress between substrates of differing materials includes the steps of applying (82) solder (16) on a first substrate (14), reflowing (84) the solder on the first substrate to form a cladded substrate (30), applying (85) a medium such as flux or solder on a second substrate (42) having a substantially different coefficient of thermal expansion than the first substrate, placing (86) the cladded substrate on the second substrate, and reflowing (88) the cladded substrate and the second substrate such that thermal stress caused by the substantially different coefficient of thermal expansion between the first and second substrates is limited to when a temperature approximately reaches below a solidus temperature of the solder on the first substrate.
