  • Patent number: 7804315
    Abstract: A probe card is disclosed, which has a conductive layer additionally provided on an insulating seat of a probe stand and the conductive layer is electrically connected to a ground circuit on the probe card via a conductive pin being fed through the insulating seat. A conductive wire is wound surrounding the intermediate segment of the probe, one end of the conductive wire is electrically connected to the ground circuit of the circuit board, and the other end of the conductive wire is electrically connected to the conductive layer of the probe stand. Thus, due to that an additional ground portion of the conductive layer is provided on the conductive wire wound surrounding the probe, a loop inductance of the probe in the insulating seat can be reduced such that accuracy of test data of the probe can be enhanced.

  • Patent number: 7786744
    Abstract: Discloses are a probe card assembly and test probes used therein. The probe card assembly includes a main body, a probe base disposed in a central portion of the main body and a plurality of test probes connected between the probe base and the main body. Each of the test probes has a tip extending from the probe base for contacting a wafer under test. The test probes include at least one power probe, at least one signal probe and a plurality of ground probes. Each of the test probes has a middle section interposed between the main body and the probe base. Each of the test probes except the ground probes has a naked middle section coated with an insulating film but not sheltered by an insulating sleeve.

  • Patent number: 6904166
    Abstract: A color interpolation processor and the color interpolation calculation method thereof are disclosed. More particularly, they relates to a color interpolation processor and the color interpolation calculation method thereof that are implemented in a real-time image process system using charge couple devices (CCD) for sampling. The color interpolation calculation method of the present invention is to perform a computation of color interpolation by utilizing the edge directions weighting and local gain approach according to the luminance density determined by the green (G) component. Therefore, the quality of interpolation is improved. Meanwhile, because the computation technique of the present invention is not complicated, the cost is lower when the color interpolation calculation method of the present invention is implemented in image signal process system. Thus, the production cost is decreased tremendously.
