  • Semiconductor component, arrangement and method for characterizing a tester for semiconductor components
    Patent number: 7360139
    Abstract: A tester for semiconductor components with a plurality of channels is connected to a specific semiconductor component in order to characterize the signal path between tester and semiconductor component under production conditions. The specific semiconductor component includes measuring units that are connected to connection contacts and in each case provide the functionality of a signal generator, a signal detector, a digital communication interface and a receiving unit for trigger signals. The specific semiconductor component further includes a trigger logic to convey trigger signals between the receiving unit of a first one and the signal generator or detector of a second one of the measuring units.
    Type: Grant
