  • Picosecond imaging circuit analysis probe and system
    Patent number: 6657446
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are provided for testing an integrated circuit with a probe card having optical fibers. The optical fibers of the probe card are fixed in alignment with test structures in the integrated circuit, and each optical fiber is coupled to an avalanche photo-diode for measuring photoemissions from the test structures. The photoemissions can be analyzed to verify correct circuit behavior. The optical fibers can be alternatives or complements to electrically conductive probes of the probe card.
