    摘要: A technique is disclosed for forming a chip cube from a plurality of chips laminated together in front-to-back relationship, the edges of the chip forming a cube face having a set of connectors for each chip thereon. A number "X" of functional chips is required for the operation, and "X+Y" is the number of chips provided in the stack such that there is Y number of chips greater than the number of functional chips required. If any number of chips equal to Y or less are found to be defective, there are enough chips remaining to perform the required function. Thereafter X number of good chips are connected to output circuitry through an interposer. Electrical connectors are provided on all of the IC chips. Contact pads for all of the connectors are provided on one face, and outlet pads are provided on the opposite face of the interposer for at least Y number of outlets. The interposer has vias at least equal to the number of outlet pads. After assembly, the chips are burnt-in, and if there are enough functional chips after burn-in, the interposer is wired to connect X number of sets of chip pads and the outlet pads through the vias. The chip stack is mounted on the interposer wherein all of the connectors on the cube face are connected to all of the chip mounting pads, but only those which have been selected for functioning chips are connected through the vias to the outlet pads.

    摘要: A technique for testing/stressing integrated circuit devices, especially wafers, having a plurality of contacts on one face thereof arranged in a predetermined pattern is provided. An interposer having a dielectric substrate and a device contact face and a tester contact face is provided. A first plurality of releasable connectors on the device contact are face arranged in the same predetermined pattern, and a second plurality of releasable connectors are arranged in the same predetermined pattern on the tester contact face. The releasable connections are formed of dendrites. Conducting vias connect the corresponding connectors of the first and second releasable connectors respectively. A test head is provided having a plurality of contact pads also arranged in the same predetermined pattern. Circuitry is provided on the test head to connect each of the contact pads thereon with external leads extending to provide signal contact to each of the contact pads on the test head. The interposer is positioned between the IC device and the test head, with the contacts on the IC device in contact with the first plurality of connectors and the contact pads on the test head in contact with the second plurality of connectors. Signals are provided to the connector pads from the electrical leads for performing testing and/or burn-in of the integrated circuit device. The testing is performed at elevational temperatures. A test head structure is also disclosed.
