    摘要: Probe systems and methods are disclosed herein. The methods include directly measuring a distance between a first manipulated assembly and a second manipulated assembly, contacting first and second probes with first and second contact locations, providing a test signal to an electrical structure, and receiving a resultant signal from the electrical structure. The methods further include characterizing at least one of a probe system and the electrical structure based upon the distance. In one embodiment, the probe systems include a measurement device configured to directly measure a distance between a first manipulated assembly and a second manipulated assembly. In another embodiment, the probe systems include a probe head assembly including a platen, a manipulator operatively attached to the platen, a vector network analyzer (VNA) extender operatively attached to the manipulator, and a probe operatively attached to the VNA extender.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for testing devices using serially controlled resources have been described. Examples of the invention can relate to an apparatus for testing a device under test (DUT). In some examples, an apparatus can include an integrated circuit (IC) having a serialized input coupled to test circuits, the test circuits selectively communicating test signals with the DUT responsive to a test control signal on the serialized input.

    摘要: Rotating contact elements and methods of fabrication are provided herein. In one embodiment, a rotating contact element includes a tip having a first side configured to contact a device to be tested and an opposing second side; and a plurality of deformed members extending from the second side of the tip and arranged about a central axis thereof, wherein the tip rotates substantially about the central axis upon compression of the plurality of deformed members.
