  • Patent number: 6229321
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing a high frequency multichip module includes a reception inspection step which includes steps of preparing a vertical-type probe, setting the high frequency bare chip on a device stage, and measuring high frequency characteristics of the high frequency bare chip using the vertical-type probe. The prepared vertical-type probe has a center conductor and ground conductors arranged at both sides of the tip portion of the center conductor in the vertical direction in which the probe is pressed to electrodes of the high frequency bare chip. The high frequency bare chip has a ground electrode disposed at the opposite side of the chip from the signal electrodes on the upper surface of a device stage. Then, only a good product is fed to the next step. After the reception inspection, the process goes to a component mounting step.

  • Patent number: 5614944
    Abstract: In a video signal test, a sync signal test is first performed in which specification items of sync signals are measured. If the result is good, then a dot level test is performed using a dot discriminating pattern in which a dot level of the video signal changes between the maximum value and the minimum value for every dot. If the result is good, then a gradation test is finally performed using a gradation change pattern in which the gradation gradually changes for every horizontal line. In a case that the gradation test result is determined to be good, the functions of the video signal generator are finally judged to be good. On the other hand, if any one of the testing results is not good, the function test is ended at that stage without executing the next test.
