    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for utilizing a sense amplifier to select a suitable circuit, wherein a suitable circuit generates a voltage that is greater than or equal to a configurable reference voltage. An amplifier gain selector selects a voltage gain of a sense amplifier having input terminals, auxiliary inputs, an output, an array of resistive loads, and the amplifier gain selector. Auxiliary inputs are utilized to nullify direct current (DC) offset voltage of the sense amplifier. Combinatorial logic circuitry connects the input terminals of the sense amplifier to output terminals of a circuit that is within a group of circuits. A comparator circuit determines if the circuit generates a voltage greater than or equal to a configurable reference voltage, based on the output of the sense amplifier.

    摘要: A probe interface assembly connects a set of signal lines and a set of power lines from a circuit tester to one integrated circuit (IC) chip disposed among multiple circuit chips on a semiconductor wafer. The assembly includes a plurality of electrically conductive planes including metal mesh and conductive strips which are spaced apart by ceramic planes contiguous the conductive planes. The signal lines and the power lines enter the assembly with relatively large spacing at an input plane facing the tester, and exit the assembly with relatively small spacing at an output plane facing the chip. Within the assembly, each power line branches into a plurality of conducting vias for reducing resistance and inductance of the power lines. Connection of the vias to the power lines is accomplished by conductive planes near the output plane. Other ones of the conductive planes, near the input plane, interconnect input and output signal lines. Ground planes are interposed between power planes and signal planes.

    摘要: An integrated circuit test structure is comprised of a stacked substrate MLC space transformer (5). A top surface of an interface substrate (12) is employed for decoupling capacitor (36) placement. The top surface has metal conductors (20) exposed thereon for terminating power supply buses from a tester (1). Individual layers of a personalization substrate (14) are fabricated to redundantly extend internal power plane metalization (22) to the sidewalls. Redundant pads (26) are placed on each personalization layer to increase the surface area for side mount contact. Metal pads (18) are deposited over the exposed sidewall metal for forming a sidewall contact to the power planes within the personalization substrate. The personalization substrate is joined to the upper surface of the interface substrate and the sidewall contacts are conductively coupled by conductive members (40) to the interface substrate metal conductors (20), thereby providing a low inductance, low resistance DC path from the tester to a device under test (4). The decoupling capacitors are electrically coupled to the metal lines in close proximity the personalization substrate thereby minimizing the associated lead inductance and maximizing the effectiveness of the decoupling capacitors.
