    摘要: An interconnect is provided for making electrical connections with a semiconductor die. The interconnect includes a substrate having integrally formed contact members, configured to electrically contact corresponding contact locations on the die. The interconnect also includes a pattern of conductors formed separately from the substrate, and then bonded to the substrate, in electrical communication with the contact members. The conductors can be mounted to a multi layered tape similar to TAB tape, or alternately bonded directly to the substrate. In addition, each conductor can include an opening aligned with a corresponding contact member, and filled with a conductive material, such as a conductive adhesive or solder. The conductive material electrically connects the contact members and conductors, and provides an expansion joint to allow expansion of the conductors without stressing the contact members. Also provided are a system for testing dice that includes the interconnect, and a system for testing wafers wherein the interconnect is formed as a probe card.

    摘要: A semiconductor carrier for testing semiconductor components, such as bare dice and chip scale packages, and a method for fabricating the carrier are provided. The carrier includes a molded plastic base, a lead frame, and an interconnect. The interconnect includes contacts for making temporary electrical connections with corresponding contacts (e.g., bond pads, solder balls) on the components. The carrier is fabricated by attaching the interconnect to the lead frame, and then molding the plastic base to the interconnect and lead frame. An alternate embodiment carrier includes a board to which multiple interconnects are molded or laminated. In addition, clip members retain the components on the board in electrical communication with the interconnects.

    摘要: A probe card for testing semiconductor wafers, and a method and system for testing wafers using the probe card are provided. The probe card is configured for use with a conventional testing apparatus, such as a wafer probe handler, in electrical communication with test circuitry. The probe card includes an interconnect substrate having contact members for establishing electrical communication with contact locations on the wafer. The probe card also includes a membrane for physically and electrically connecting the interconnect substrate to the testing apparatus, and a compressible member for cushioning the pressure exerted on the interconnect substrate by the testing apparatus. The interconnect substrate can be formed of silicon with raised contact members having penetrating projections. Alternately the contact members can be formed as indentations for testing bumped wafers. The membrane can be similar to multi layered TAB tape including metal foil conductors attached to a flexible, electrically-insulating, elastomeric tape. The probe card can be configured to contact all of the dice on the wafer at the same time, so that test signals can be electronically applied to selected dice as required.

    摘要: An interconnect for semiconductor components includes a substrate, and interconnect contacts on the substrate for electrically engaging component contacts on the components. The interconnect contacts include silicon carbide conductive layers, and conductors in electrical communication with the silicon carbide conductive layers. The silicon carbide conductive layers provides a wear resistant surface, and improved heat transfer between the component contacts and the interconnect contacts. The silicon carbide conductive layers can comprise doped silicon carbide, or alternately thermally oxidized silicon carbide. The interconnect can be configured for use with a testing apparatus for testing discrete components such as dice or chip scale packages, or alternately for use with a testing apparatus for testing wafer sized components, such as wafers, panels and boards. In addition, the interconnect can be configured for constructing semiconductor packages and electronic assemblies such as multi chip modules.
