  • Contactless damage inspection of perimeter region of semiconductor device
    Patent number: 9658279
    Abstract: A power semiconductor device includes a semiconductor body. The semiconductor body includes an active semiconductor region and a perimeter semiconductor region surrounding the active semiconductor region. The active semiconductor region has an active surface area, and the perimeter semiconductor region has a perimeter surface area. The power semiconductor device further includes a test structure for contactless testing of the perimeter semiconductor region. The test structure includes an electrically conductive path mounted on the perimeter surface area. The test structure is configured to extract energy from a remotely generated electromagnetic radio frequency test field.
    Type: Grant
