Abstract: A circuit is disclosed that includes a signal-forcing path, a discharging path, a contact probe, a monitoring probe and a switch module. The signal-forcing path is connected to a signal source. The discharging path is connected to a discharging voltage terminal. The contact probe contacts a pad module of an under-test device. The monitoring probe generates a monitored voltage associated with the pad module. The switch module is operated in a discharging mode to connect the contact probe to the discharging path when the monitored voltage does not reach a threshold voltage such that the under-test device is discharged and is operated in an operation mode to connect the contact probe to the signal-forcing path when the monitored voltage reaches the threshold voltage such that a signal generated by the signal source is forced to the under-test device.

Abstract: A method is disclosed that includes the operations outlined below. For a plurality of dies on a test fixture, an antenna distance between each of first antennas of one of the dies and every one of first antennas of the other dies is determined. The dies are categorized into die groups, wherein the antenna distance between each of the first antennas of one of the dies in one of the die groups and every one of the first antennas of the other dies in the same one of the die groups is larger than an interference threshold. Test processes are sequentially performed on the die groups. Each of the test processes is performed according to signal transmissions between the first antennas and second antennas of the under-test device each positionally corresponds to one of the first antennas.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for providing electrostatic discharge protection. A probe card assembly is provided which is electrically connected to a plurality of input/output channels. The probe card assembly can be contacted with a secondary assembly having an interposer electrically connected to one or more wafers each wafer having a device under test. Voltage can be forced on ones of the plural input/output channels of the probe card assembly to slowly dissipate charges resident on the wafer to thereby provide electrostatic discharge protection. A socket assembly adaptable to accept a 3DIC package is also provided, the assembly having a loadboard assembly electrically connected to a plurality of input/output channels.

Abstract: A testing probe structure for wafer level testing semiconductor IC packaged devices under test (DUT). The structure includes a substrate, through substrate vias, a bump array formed on a first surface of the substrate for engaging a probe card, and at least one probing unit on a second surface of the substrate. The probing unit includes a conductive probe pad formed on one surface of the substrate and at least one microbump interconnected to the pad. The pads are electrically coupled to the bump array through the vias. Some embodiments include a plurality of microbumps associated with the pad which are configured to engage a mating array of microbumps on the DUT. In some embodiments, the DUT may be probed by applying test signals from a probe card through the bump and microbump arrays without direct probing of the DUT microbumps.
