Publication number: 20090021275Abstract: A method for perpendicular positioning of a probe card relative to a test substrate, includes storing a separation position approached in a first positioning step as a distance between the needle tips of the probe card and the substrate, storing a contact position approached in a second positioning step until the probe card contacts the substrate, and displaying an image of the needle tips. For avoiding erroneous operation after a probe card has been changed, when imaging the needle tips, the stored contact position is imaged and is changed until presentation of this contact position corresponds to actual height of the tips appropriate for the respective probe card and this setting is then stored as a new contact position. A display device presents the needle tips and the stored contact position and is connected to a memory, a recording device and an input device which changes the contact position.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2007Publication date: January 22, 2009Applicant: SUSS MicroTec Test Systems GmbHInventors: Stojan Kanev, Hans-Jurgen Fleischer, Stefan Kreissig, Jorg Kiesewetter

Patent number: 7479995Abstract: A circuit and method for correcting pixel output signals for fixed pattern noise. Pixels in a selected row of pixels are read after an integration period and the resulting signals are stored in a first sample and hold circuit for each column. The pixels in the selected row are then reset and immediately read again and the resulting signals are stored in a second sample and hold circuit for each column. The signals in the second sample and hold circuits are subtracted from the signals in the first sample and hold circuits to produce signals related to the light seen by the pixels in the selected row corrected for fixed pattern noise. The output of the first sample and hold circuits and second sample and hold circuits can be connected to a subtraction unit and sequentially activated so that a single subtraction unit is required for the entire imager.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2005Date of Patent: January 20, 2009Assignee: Digital Imaging Systems GmbHInventor: Taner Dosluoglu
