    Abstract: An interconnect for testing semiconductor components includes interconnect contacts configured for bonding to, and then separation from component contacts on the components. The interconnect can be utilized with a method that includes the steps of bonding the 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.

    Abstract: An MRAM device having a plurality of MRAM cells formed of a fixed magnetic layer, a second soft magnetic layer and a dielectric layer interposed between the fixed magnetic layer and the soft magnetic layer. The MRAM cells are all formed simultaneously and at least some of the MRAM cells are designed to function as antifuse devices whereby the application of a selected electrical potential can short the antifuse device to thereby affect the functionality of the MRAM device.

    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.
