摘要:
A method of probe card partitioning for testing an integrated circuit die includes providing a first probe card partition layout having a first number of distinct sections. Each distinct section uses a distinct probe card for testing. The first probe card partition layout is repartitioned into a second probe card partition layout having a second number of distinct sections. The second number is less than the first number.
摘要:
A testing probe structure for wafer level testing semiconductor IC packaged devices under test (DUT). The structure includes a substrate, through substrate vias, a bump array formed on a first surface of the substrate for engaging a probe card, and at least one probing unit on a second surface of the substrate. The probing unit includes a conductive probe pad formed on one surface of the substrate and at least one microbump interconnected to the pad. The pads are electrically coupled to the bump array through the vias. Some embodiments include a plurality of microbumps associated with the pad which are configured to engage a mating array of microbumps on the DUT. In some embodiments, the DUT may be probed by applying test signals from a probe card through the bump and microbump arrays without direct probing of the DUT microbumps.

An interposer of a package system includes a first probe pad disposed adjacent to a first surface of the interposer. A second probe pad is disposed adjacent to the first surface of the interposer. A first bump of a first dimension is disposed adjacent to the first surface of the interposer. The first bump is electrically coupled with the first probe pad. A second bump of the first dimension is disposed adjacent to the first surface of the interposer. The second bump is electrically coupled with the second probe pad. The second bump is electrically coupled with the first bump through a redistribution layer (RDL) of the interposer.
摘要:
The embodiments described above provide mechanisms for bump resistivity measurement. By using designated bumps on one or more corners of dies, the resistivity of bumps may be measured without damaging devices and without a customized probing card. In addition, bump resistivity may be collected across the entire wafer. The collected resistivity data may be used to monitor the stability and/or health of processes used to form bumps and their underlying layers.

A three-dimensional integrated circuit (3DIC) and wireless information access methods thereof are provided. The proposed 3DIC includes a semiconductor structure, and a wireless power device (WPD) formed on the semiconductor structure for wirelessly receiving a power for operating a function selected from a group consisting of probing the semiconductor structure, testing the semiconductor structure and accessing a first information from the semiconductor structure.
摘要:
A wafer probing method includes calibrating a wafer probing system, checking continuity between probe pins of the wafer probing system and respective conductors of a wafer under test, and identifying at least an interconnect structure in the wafer under test to determine whether a fault exists.
摘要:
A plurality of through silicon vias (TSVs) on a substrate or in a 3 dimensional integrated circuit (3DIC) are chained together. TSVs are chained together to increase the electrical signal. A plurality of test pads are used to enable the testing of the TVSs. One of the test pads is grounded. The remaining test pads are either electrically connected to TSVs in the chain or grounded.
