Patents by Inventor Ken Kuang-Fu Liu

Ken Kuang-Fu Liu has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 5847571
    Abstract: First and second bumps electrically connected at first and second positions along a conductive run borne by a flexible substrate are respectively oriented for contact with a pad of a die under test and a pad of a tester. A probe frame is bonded to the substrate between connector frames bonded at opposite ends of the substrate. Alternatively, a pair of bumps exposed on the same surface of a flexible substrate are electrically connected at different positions along a conductive run. One of the bumps is oriented for contact with a pad of a die under test, and the other is in contact with a pad on a surface of a printed circuit board directed away from the die. The pad of the printed circuit board is provided for electrical connection to a tester.

  • Patent number: 5841291
    Abstract: First and second bumps electrically connected at first and second positions along a conductive run borne by a flexible substrate are respectively oriented for contact with a pad of a die under test and a pad of a tester structure. Second and third conductive regions are electrically connected respectively to the power and ground terminals of a power source and an electrical device. The second and third regions are spaced from a first conductive region to filter high-frequency noise components from power and ground potentials provided by the power source.
