Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for performing reliability screening on semi-conductor wafers and particularly to a highly planar burn in apparatus and method for uses including wafer level burn-in (WLBI), diced die burn-in (DDBI), and packaged die burn-in (PDBI). The burn-in system includes a burn-in substrate with a planar base, a temporary Z-axis connecting member, and a Z-axis wafer level contact sheet electrically coupled to one another for screening wafers, diced die, and packaged electronic components, their assembly and use.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing large area multilayer interconnects for electronic substrates and circuit boards uses high density area array interconnections that are created by solid state diffusion. Two or more pretested subsections are electrically and mechanically joined together to simultaneously form a multilayer substrate without employing a flow-type connection where the conductive interconnect material is entirely in a liquid phase at some point during the joining process. Each substrate is comprised of a planar dielectric substrate having a plurality of conductive layers. On at least one surface of the substrate a conductive pad lay is formed having a plurality of interconnect pads. The interconnect pads are positioned at a uniform height above the surface of the dielectric substrate and include a base metal layer, a top metal layer with at least one of the conductive pad layers have a donor metal disposed on top of the top metal layer.
