    摘要: A probe card in an automated test equipment (ATE) and methods for operating the same for testing electronic devices. The probe card may be a portion of a vertical-type probe card assembly in which pads on a circuit board are contacted by probe pins. The probe card has a pad geometry that compensates for misalignment with corresponding probe pins due to manufacturing error or a mismatch of coefficient of thermal expansion, enabling reliable operation of the ATE over a wide range of test temperatures. The pad array may have a plurality of elongated pads, each of uniquely designed size, tilt angle, and/or center location, with the characteristics of each pad being dependent on a distance between each pad and a centroid of the pad array, such that a probe pin to pad location errors can be mitigated.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the invention provide a system and a method for testing one or more devices under test (DUTs) and for checking one or more test setups. Each of the one or more test setups includes a test board having several sockets for receipt of a DUT. A custom hardware interface is used to electrically connect the test board, such as a burn-in board with a test system configuration having multiple modules that can be configured using a computer device and related software to provide customized testing of the DUTs. The system is scalable to accommodate any DUT having any number of channels and to provide customized testing. Results of the testing are sent to the computing device.

    摘要: A substrate testing apparatus configured to perform a hot electron analysis (HEA) test for analyzing a stand-by failure in a substrate includes a heating chuck having a first surface configured to support the substrate and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The heating chuck is configured to heat the substrate and has an aperture passing through the first surface and the second surface. A substrate moving device moves the substrate on the heating chuck in a lateral direction. A camera is under the heating chuck and photographs the substrate, which is exposed by the heating chuck aperture.
