  • Patent number: 9874585
    Abstract: Resilient electrical interposers that may be utilized to form a plurality of electrical connections between a first device and a second device, as well as systems that may utilize the resilient electrical interposers and methods of use and/or fabrication thereof. The resilient electrical interposers may include a resilient dielectric body with a plurality of electrical conduits contained therein. The plurality of electrical conduits may be configured to provide a plurality of electrical connections between a first surface of the electrical interposer and/or the resilient dielectric body and a second, opposed, surface of the electrical interposer and/or the resilient dielectric body. The systems and methods disclosed herein may provide for improved vertical compliance, improved contact force control, and/or improved dimensional stability of the resilient electrical interposers.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130015871
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for two-sided testing of electronic devices. These systems, devices, and methods may include the use of a test fixture that is configured to electrically connect a back side electrical pad of a device under test with an auxiliary pad that faces in a different direction than the back side electrical pad. Additionally or alternatively, these systems, devices, and methods also may include the use of a probe head that is configured to form an electrical connection with both the auxiliary pad and a front side electrical pad of the device under test. The systems, devices, and methods also may include providing a test signal to the device under test, receiving a resultant signal from the device under test, and/or analyzing the resultant signal.
