Abstract:
The invention relates to methods for positioning of a substrate 140 and contacting of the test object 301 for testing with a test apparatus with an optical axis and corresponding devices. Thereby, the substrate is put on the holder 130. The substrate is positioned relative to the optical axis. A contact unit 150 is also positioned relative to the optical axis, whereby the contact unit is positioned independent of the positioning activity of the substrate. Thereby, a flexible contacting of test objects on the substrate can be realized.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of electron beam testing of liquid crystal displays comprising non-uniform electrodes having a conductive portion and a dielectric portion. In accordance with methods of the present invention, the diameter of the electron beam is increased so that the beam is less focused, i.e., enlarged or “blurred,” over a non-uniform electrode area. The diameter of the beam is increased so that the beam generates secondary electrons from the conductive portion of the non-uniform electrode area. The configured test beam may be circular, elliptical, or other suitable shapes.
Abstract:
For testing an interconnect network for shorts and interruptions, a point of the network to be tested is charged with a particle beam. Subsequently, a potential at least one further contact point is read with the same particle beam and an unaltered primary energy. An identification of potential occurs by documenting the secondary electrons triggered at the contact points. In order to avoid a disturbing change of potential during the measuring phase, the measuring time is only a fraction of the time for charging the network.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a drive electronics for driving a display with a matrix 101 of picture elements. The drive circuit 102x and 102y for generating signals for driving the pixels via control lines 103 is provided with signals at the input terminals 110 via contact areas 104. In addition to the contact areas used for the generation of arbitrary pictures, there exist contact areas 105 used within the framework of a testing method. These contact areas for the testing method are also connected with the input terminals 110 of the drive circuit and are used for generating a test pattern.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for securing an airbag (25) to a motor vehicle. Said method consists of the following steps: an airbag (25) that comprises a securing lug (20) and that can be filled with a gas is secured to a securing device (10) that comprises a plate (11) and an attachment device (16) that is secured to the plate. Said plate comprises a first plate section (12) having a first opening (14) provided with a screw thread (15) and a second plate section (13). Said attachment device (16) is secured to the first plate section (12) and the airbag is secured to the securing device (10) by bending the second plate section (13) in such a manner that the first plate section (12) and the second plate section (13) at least partially surround the securing lug (20) on both sides. The invention also relates to a securing device for an airbag, an airbag module and a motor vehicle.
Abstract:
The present invention comprises a system and method for transferring a substrate into and out of a chamber configured to accommodate multiple substrates. In one embodiment, the system comprises a chamber housing that includes a first substrate support tray and a second substrate support tray independently movable along a vertical axis, and a substrate conveyor movable into and out of the chamber housing. The first substrate support tray and the second substrate support tray are movable to a position where a portion of the second substrate support tray is received in the first substrate support tray.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for testing the function of a plurality of microstructural elements by irradiation with particle radiation. All of the microstructural elements detected as malfunctioning are listed in a first error list in a first test sequence. The microstructural elements listed in the first error list are tested once more in at least one further test sequence and at least the result of the test sequence last carried out is evaluated to establish the overall test result. The first test sequence is designed so that, if possible, all of the microstructural elements which are actually malfunctioning are detected. The invention further relates to a method for producing microstructural elements which are constructed as a plurality on a substrate and are tested according to the above test method.
Abstract:
A method of testing electronic devices on substrates is described. The method includes placing a configurable prober over a first substrate, testing the first substrate, re-configuring the configurable prober, placing the configurable prober over a second substrate, and testing the second substrate.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for identifying a location of a short between two or more signal lines on a substrate having a plurality of thin film transistors and a plurality of pixels associated with the thin film transistors. The method includes locating the two or more signal lines having the short, locating one or more defective pixels disposed between the two or more signal lines having the short, and identifying the defective pixels as the location of the short.
