    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. A gasket may be used to protect the interconnect contacts during the molding step.

    摘要: A system and method for testing semiconductor components are provided. The system includes: a test board, sockets mounted to the test board in electrical communication with test circuitry, and carriers mounted to the sockets for housing the components. The carriers include bases, and interconnects mounted thereon, having contact members configured to make temporary electrical connections with contacts on the components. In addition, the contact members on the interconnects can be shaped to perform an alignment function, and to prevent excessive deformation of the contacts on the components. The sockets include camming members and electrical connectors configured to electrically contact the carriers with a zero insertion force. During a test procedure, the bases and interconnects can remain mounted to the sockets on the test board, as the components are aligned and placed in electrical contact with the interconnects. However, different bases and interconnects can be mounted to the sockets for testing different types of components.

    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: An interconnect and system for establishing temporary electrical communication with semiconductor components having contact bumps are provided. The interconnect includes a substrate with patterns of contact members adapted to electrically contact the contact bumps. The substrate can be formed of a material such as ceramic, silicon, FR-4, or photo-chemically machineable glass. The contact members can be formed as recesses covered with conductive layers in electrical communication with conductors and terminal contacts on the substrate. Alternately, the contact members can be formed as projections adapted to penetrate the contact bumps, as microbumps with a rough textured surface, or as a deposited layer formed with recesses. The interconnect can be employed in a wafer level test system for testing dice contained on a wafer, or in a die level test system for testing bare bumped dice or bumped chip scale packages.
