In one embodiment, an anti-wafer structure includes a silicon on insulator (SOI) layer and a plurality of probe dice formed on the SOI layer. Each of the probe die may have a pad layout corresponding to a pad layout of a die on a wafer under test. A plurality of holes may extend through the SOI layer and the plurality of probe dice, with each hole corresponding to a pad on a probe die. The anti-wafer structure may be advantageously used in an advanced probe card. Techniques for fabricating an anti-wafer and an advanced probe card are also disclosed.

In one embodiment, a probe for testing integrated circuits includes a body having a tip and a hardening material on the tip. The hardening material helps improve the hardness of the tip. The hardening material thus allows the probe to reliably penetrate a layer to make a good electrical connection with a contact point under the layer, for example. In one embodiment, an electrically conductive coating is deposited over the hardening material.

In one embodiment, a test interface for testing integrated circuits includes an array of dice. A removable electrical connection (e.g., an interposer) may be coupled between the array of dice and a wafer containing multiple dice to be tested. The removable electrical connection allows electrical signals to be transmitted between the array of dice and the wafer. The test interface may be used in conjunction with a tester.

According to one embodiment, a structure for monitoring a process step may include an etch stop layer (102) formed on a substrate (104) and a trench emulation layer (106) formed over an etch stop layer (102). Monitor trenches (108) may be formed through a trench emulation layer (106) that terminate at an etch stop layer (102). Monitor trenches (108) may have a depth equal to a trench emulation layer (106) thickness. A trench emulation layer (106) thickness may be subject to less variation than a substrate trench depth. A monitor structure (100) may thus be used to monitor features formed by one or more process steps that may vary according to trench depth. Such process steps may include a shallow trench isolation insulator chemical mechanical polishing step. In addition, or alternatively, a monitor structure (100) may be formed on a non-semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) wafer, but include SOI features, providing a less expensive alternative to monitoring some SOI process steps.
