Abstract: A method for testing a semiconductor component includes the steps of bonding an interconnect to the component to form bonded electrical connections, applying test signals through the bonded electrical connections, and then separating the interconnect from the component. The bonding step can be performed using metallurgical bonding, and the separating step can be performed using solder-wettable and solder non-wettable metal layers on the interconnect or the component. During the separating step the solder-wettable layers are dissolved, reducing adhesion of the bonded electrical connections, and permitting separation of the component and interconnect. The interconnect includes interconnect contacts configured for bonding to, and then separation from component contacts on the components. A system includes the interconnect, an alignment system for aligning the substrate to the interconnect, a bonding system for bonding the component to the interconnect, and a heating system for heating the component and the interconnect for separation.

Abstract: A radio frequency identification device includes an integrated circuit including a receiver, a transmitter, and a microprocessor. The receiver and transmitter together define an active transponder. The integrated circuit is preferably a monolithic single die integrated circuit including the receiver, the transmitter, and the microprocessor. Because the device includes an active transponder, instead of a transponder which relies on magnetic coupling for power, the device has a much greater range.

Abstract: A device for magnetically annealing magnetoresistive elements formed on wafers includes a heated chuck and a delivery mechanism for individually placing the wafers individually on the chuck one at a time. A coil is adjacent to the chuck and generates a magnetic field after the wafer is heated to a Néel temperature of an anti-ferromagnetic layer. A control system regulates the temperature of the heated chuck, the strength of the magnetic field, and a time period during which each chuck is heated to control the annealing process. The annealed elements are incorporated in the fabrication of magnetic memory devices.
