    摘要: A method of making a microelectronic spring contact array comprises forming a plurality of spring contacts on a sacrificial substrate and then releasing the spring contacts from the sacrificial substrate. Each of the spring contacts has an elongated beam having a base end. The method of making the array includes attaching the spring contacts at their base ends to a base substrate after they have been released entirely from the sacrificial substrate, so that each contact extends from the base substrate to a distal end of its beams. The distal ends are aligned with a predetermined array of tip positions. In an embodiment of the invention, the spring contacts are formed by patterning contours of the spring contacts in a sacrificial layer on the sacrificial substrate. The walls of patterned recesses in the sacrificial layer define side profiles of the spring contacts, and a conductive material is deposited in the recesses to form the elongated beams of the spring contacts.

    摘要: Circuit configurations are described for use with split lead leadframes and relatively isolated quiet and noisy power rails to reduce power rail noise and circuit noise. An octal register transceiver circuit incorporates a latch (300) coupled to relatively quiet power rails (42,44) and an output buffer circuit (400) having an input circuit coupled to the latch (300) and relatively quiet power rails (42,44). The output driver transistors (Q433,Q434) of the output buffer circuit (400) are coupled to the relatively noisy output power rails (52,54) to isolate the latch circuit from power rail noise and minimize erroneous operation of the latch. A DC Miller Killer circuit (450) is constructed with delay control components (D456,D457,R460) and an alternative discharge path (R458,D459) to reduce aggravation of power rail noise during operation of DCMK.

    摘要: One or more customization layers can be added to a wiring substrate. The customization layers can provide customized electrical connections from electrical contacts of the base wiring substrate to electrical contacts at an outer surface of the customization layers, which can allow the contacts at the outer surface of the customization layers can be in a different pattern than the contacts at the surface of the base wiring substrate. The customization layers can comprise electrically insulating material, electrically conductive via structures through the insulating material, electrically conductive traces, electrically conductive jumpers electrically connecting two traces without contacting a trace disposed between the two traces, and/or other such elements. A jumper can be formed by making a relatively small deposit of electrically insulating material between the two traces to be connected and then making a relatively small deposit of electrically conductive material on parts of the two traces and the insulating material. Via structures can be coupled to traces and an insulating material can be cast around the via structures. Alternatively, via structures can be formed in openings with sloped side walls in an insulating layer.

    摘要: A method or an apparatus for aligning a plurality of structures can include applying a first force in a first plane to a first structure. The method can also include constraining in the first plane the first structure with respect to a second structure such that the first structure is in a position with respect to the second structure that aligns first features on the first structure with second features on the second structures. The second feature can be in a second plane that is generally parallel to the first plane. The first and second structures can be first and second electronic components, which can be components of a probe card assembly.
