  • Patent number: 8044494
    Abstract: A first packaged integrated circuit (IC) includes a package substrate, at least one IC die attached to a first surface of the package substrate, a plurality of conductive members on the first surface at least partially surrounding the at least one IC die and electrically connected to the at least one IC die, an encapsulant over the first surface surrounding the at least one IC die and the plurality of conductive members, wherein at least a portion of each of the plurality of conductive members is exposed by the encapsulant. A second packaged IC may be stacked onto the first packaged IC. The second packaged IC includes at least one IC die and a plurality of conductive members, each conductive member of the plurality of conductive members of the second packaged IC is in contact with a corresponding conductive member of the plurality conductive members of the first packaged IC.

  • Patent number: 7808258
    Abstract: A device under test (DUT) is tested via a test interposer. The test interposer includes a first set of contacts at a first surface to interface with the contacts of a load board or other interface of an automated test equipment (ATE) and a second set of contacts at an opposing second surface to interface with the contacts of the DUT. The second set of contacts can have a smaller contact pitch than the contact pitch of the first set of contacts to facilitate connection to the smaller pitch of the contacts of the DUT. The test interposer further includes one or more active circuit components or passive circuit components to facilitate testing of the DUT. The test interposer can be implemented as an integrated circuit (IC) package that encapsulates the circuit components.
