Abstract: A memory device can include a plurality of double data rate data (DDR) ports, each configured to receive write data and output read data on a same set of data lines independently and concurrently in synchronism with at least a first clock signal; an address port configured to receive address values on consecutive, different transitions of a second clock, each address value corresponding to an access on a different one of the data ports; and a memory array section comprising a plurality of banks, each bank providing pipelined access to storage locations therein.

Abstract: Resilient spring contacts for use in wafer test probing are provided that can be manufactured with a very fine pitch spacing and precisely located on a support substrate. The resilient contact structures are adapted for wire bonding to an electrical circuit on a space transformer substrate. The support substrates with attached spring contacts can be manufactured together in large numbers and diced up and tested before attachment to a space transformer substrate to improve yield. The resilient spring contacts are manufactured using photolithographic techniques to form the contacts on a release layer, before the spring contacts are epoxied to the support substrate and the release layer removed. The support substrate can be transparent to allow alignment of the contacts and testing of optical components beneath. The support substrate can include a ground plane provided beneath the spring contacts for improved impedance matching.
