  • Publication number: 20070108972
    Abstract: An apparatus for testing of electrical or physical properties of a material include a single coil sensor mounted adjacent to a sample of the material. Sheet conductance of a wide variety of materials may be measured using the single coil to determine if the material conforms to generally accepted standards for the use to which the material will be put. In some examples, the material is a semiconductor wafer or flat panel. In other examples, the material is the body tissue of a patient. A non-invasive technique using the apparatus is also disclosed for monitoring the health of patient tissue such as musculature, and/or to determine whether healthy circulation is present, by measuring the conductance of the patient tissue in response to a magnetic field applied by the single coil. The single coil may be hand held, or it may be movable using an automated positioning system under computer control.

  • Publication number: 20060290367
    Abstract: A probe card assembly comprises multiple probe substrates attached to a mounting assembly. Each probe substrate includes a set of probes, and together, the sets of probes on each probe substrate compose an array of probes for contacting a device to be tested. Adjustment mechanisms are configured to impart forces to each probe substrate to move individually each substrate with respect to the mounting assembly. The adjustment mechanisms may translate each probe substrate in an “x,” “y,” and/or “z” direction and may further rotate each probe substrate about any one or more of the forgoing directions. The adjustment mechanisms may further change a shape of one or more of the probe substrates. The probes can thus be aligned and/or planarized with respect to contacts on the device to be tested.

  • Publication number: 20050253594
    Abstract: An apparatus for contactless measurement of sheet charge density and mobility includes a microwave source, a circular waveguide for transmitting microwave power to a sample, such as a semiconductor wafer or panel for flat panel displays, at a measurement location, a first detector for detecting the forward microwave power, a second detector for detecting the microwave power reflected from the sample, and a third detector for detecting the Hall effect power. A circular waveguide, carrying only the TE11 mode, is terminated by the sample behind which an short circuit is located. Perpendicular to the plane of the sample (and along the axis of the circular waveguide), a magnetic field is applied. In this configuration, a given incident TE11 wave will cause two reflected waves. One is the ordinary reflected wave in the same polarization as the incident one. A detector is provided to measure this reflected power. The other reflected wave is caused by the Hall effect.
