  • Patent number: 10500585
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods, systems, assemblies, and articles for extracting restrained liquid (e.g., surface tension-restrained liquid) from open wells in a chip, where the restrained liquid does not flow out of the wells due to gravity when the wells are held upside down. For example, the present invention provides extraction fixtures that may be attached to, and/or held adjacent to, a chip such that any restrained liquid that is forced out of the open wells is collected by, or flows through, the extraction fixtures. Also for example, the present invention provides assemblies composed of a extraction fixture attached to, and/or held adjacent to, a chip, and methods of subjecting such assemblies to a force such that at least a portion of the restrained liquid in the open wells is forced out and collected by, or flows through, the extraction fixture.

  • Patent number: 6937044
    Abstract: A bare semiconductor circuit die carrier is provided for use in the test of semiconductor circuits, the carrier, comprising: a substrate defining an opening and an outer perimeter; a multiplicity of I/O pads disposed about the perimeter; an interconnect circuit which includes a composite of a multiplicity of individual electrical conductors which are formed in a polymer dielectric; wherein the interconnect circuit overlays a top surface of the substrate and extends across the opening so as to form a flexible membrane that spans the opening; a multiplicity of die contact pads connected to the conductors are disposed about the flexible membrane with particles deposited on the die contact pads; a fence upstanding from the membrane and sized to receive a test die; a top cap that rests upon the die when the die is received within the fence; a bottom cap that rests against a bottom surface of the substrate; and a fastener for securing the top cap to the bottom cap with the die disposed therebetween.
