    Abstract: A prober head to interface an E-testing apparatus to a device under test, which may be an unpackaged die, for example. In some embodiments, the prober head includes an array of conductive pins, each of the pins extending outwardly from a first pin end anchored to a substrate. At least a partial length of each of the pins is coated with a hydrophobic monolayer. The conductive pins may be composite metal wires including a core metal encased by one or more peripheral metal. At a tip of the pins, opposite the first pin end anchored to the substrate, the peripheral metals are recessed from the core metal. In further embodiments, the hydrophobic monolayer is disposed on an outer surface of the peripheral metals, but is substantially absent from a surface of the core metal exposed at the tip.

    Abstract: A probe head may be utilized to test an electronic device. The probe head may include a probe axis extending along a length of the probe head. The probe head may include a probe core including a first metal. The probe core may include a core surface having a first dimension. The first dimension may be perpendicular to the probe axis. The probe core may include a probe tip, for instance extending from the core surface along the probe axis. The probe tip has a second dimension that may be perpendicular to the probe axis. The second dimension may be less than the first dimension of the core surface. The probe head may include a cladding layer that includes a second metal. The cladding layer may be coupled around a perimeter of the probe core. The probe tip may extend beyond the cladding layer.

    Abstract: Methods and structures for testing a microelectronic packaging structure/device are described. Those methods may include placing a device in a floating carrier, wherein the floating carrier is coupled to a socket housing by pin dowels disposed in four corners of the socket housing, and wherein at least two actuating motors are disposed within the socket housing, and micro adjusting the device by utilizing a capacitive coupled or a fiber optic alignment system wherein a maximum measured capacitance or maximum measured intensity between alignment structures disposed in the socket housing and alignment package balls disposed within the device indicate optimal alignment of the device. Methods further include methods for active co-planarity detection through the use of a capacitive-coupled techniques.
