    Abstract: A probe card includes a number probes. Each probe is adapted to contact a corresponding terminal of a circuit integrated in at least one die of a semiconductor material wafer during a test phase of the wafer. The probes include at least one probe adapted to provide and/or receive a radio frequency test signal to/from the corresponding terminal during the test phase. The probe card further includes at least one electromagnetic shield structure corresponding to the at least one probe adapted to provide and/or receive the radio frequency test signal for the at least partial shielding of an electromagnetic field irradiated by such at least one probe adapted to provide and/or receive the radio frequency test signal.

    Abstract: An inverse electrowetting harvesting and scavenging circuit includes a first substrate having first and second surfaces. An electrode is formed proximate the first surface and includes an insulating layer covering a surface of the electrode. An electromechanical systems device includes a moveable mass extending over the first surface of the first substrate that may be displaced relative to the first substrate in three dimensions responsive to external forces applied to the moveable mass. The movable mass includes a moveable electrode and a conductive fluid is positioned between the insulating layer of the electrode and the movable electrode. Energy harvesting and scavenging circuitry is electrically coupled to the moveable electrode the electrode and is configured to provide electrical energy responsive to electrical energy generated by the moveable electrode, conductive fluid and the electrode through the reverse electrowetting phenomena due to movement of the moveable electrode relative to the electrode and to the conductive fluid on top of the electrode.

    Abstract: An embodiment of a process for manufacturing a system for electrical testing of a through via extending in a vertical direction through a substrate of semiconductor material envisages integrating an electrical testing circuit in the body to enable detection of at least one electrical parameter of the through via through a microelectronic buried structure defining an electrical path between electrical-connection elements towards the outside and a buried end of the through via; the integration step envisages providing a trench and forming a doped buried region at the bottom of the trench, having a doping opposite to that of the substrate so as to form a semiconductor junction, defining the electrical path when it is forward biased; in particular, the semiconductor junction has a junction area smaller than the area of a surface of the conductive region in a horizontal plane transverse to the vertical direction, in such a way as to have a reduced reverse saturation current.
