    摘要: A method and corresponding apparatus for detecting and rejecting high impedance failures in chip interconnects use monitoring circuitry on a chip to provide accurate and pro-active prediction of interconnect failures. The apparatus may include a resistance continuity monitoring circuit (RCMC), and a signal path connecting a representative set of pins to the RCMC. The RCMC measures the resistance of a connection of the representative set of pins with a circuit board during system operation and outputs a measured resistance data. The apparatus further includes additional analog-to-digital (A/D) hardware to perform an analog to digital conversion of the measured resistance data. Additional on-chip circuitry and/or microcode may be used to perform an algorithm on the digital resistance data to generate an interconnect status signal. For example, the method may output a failure signal when the measured resistance data exceeds a threshold resistance value. The apparatus further includes a system interface to send the interconnect status signal to other system management devices.

    摘要: In manufacturing a pressure sensor a recess that will form part of the sensor cavity is formed in a lower silicon substrate. An SOI-wafer having a monocrystalline silicon layer on top of a substrate is bonded to the lower silicon substrate closing the recess and forming the cavity. The supporting substrate of the SOI-wafer is then etched away, the portion of the monocrystalline layer located above the recess forming the sensor diaphragm. The oxide layer of the SOI-wafer here acts as an nullidealnull etch stop in the case where the substrate wafer is removed by dry (plasma) or wet etching using e.g. KOH. This is due to high etch selectivity between silicon and oxide for some etch processes and it results in a diaphragm having a very accurately defined and uniform thickness. The cavity is evacuated by forming a opening to the cavity and then sealing the cavity by closing the opening using LPCVD. Sensor paths for sensing the deflection of the diaphragm are applied on the outer or inner surface of the diaphragm. The monocrystalline diphragm gives the sensor a good long-term stability. Also the sensor path can be made of monocrystalline material, this giving the sensor even better good long-term characteristics. An increased sensitivity can be obtained by making active portions of the sensor paths freely extending, unsupported by other material of the pressure sensor, by suitable etching procedures.

    摘要: A chip transfer apparatus includes a first carrier for feeding chips and a second carrier for carrying works on it. The transfer apparatus also includes a transfer engine including two or more coaxial revolvers, which can revolve coaxially with each other. Each of the coaxial revolvers includes an end-effector for receiving a chip from the first carrier and transferring the received chip onto a work on the second carrier. The end-effectors of the coaxial revolvers are arranged in a circle coaxial with the revolvers. The end-effectors sequentially receive chips from the first carrier at substantially zero speed relative to the first carrier and transfer the received chips onto works on the second carrier at substantially zero speed relative to the second carrier. While the end-effectors are revolving, they undergo periodic speed change control for timing adjustment and speed adjustment for the chip reception and transfer.
