  • Patent number: 8072600
    Abstract: An inspection method for a circuit substrate is disclosed, which inspects electrical properties of a circuit substrate having a multilayered structure, by controlling inspection environments so that dew forms on a surface of the circuit substrate and detecting change of states of the dew to thereby determining variation of a thermal capacity of a conductor with respect to defective contacts or vias, micro vias and a circuit pattern of an inner layer. According to this, the inspection can be performed with respect to a wide area simultaneously and therefore the inspection productivity can be improved. In addition, since the temperature of the conductive wire can be measured directly through change of the dew, the cost for the temperature measurement can be saved. Moreover, the cost for an area sensor to sense the temperature of a wide area may be reduced while improving the inspection speed.

  • Patent number: 7746086
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a noncontact single side probe and an apparatus and method for testing open and short circuits of pattern electrodes. By feeding power to one end of each of the pattern electrodes and sensing an electrical variation value using a noncontact type single side probe device including an exciter electrode and a sensor electrode as a single module, the open and short circuits of pattern electrodes can be tested by one scanning process. Since the open and short circuits of the pattern electrodes are tested using the noncontact type single side probe device, the pattern electrode can be prevented from being damaged due to a contact failure or pressurized contact and the life span of the probe device can increase compared with a contact type probe device.

  • Patent number: 7629796
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are an apparatus and method for testing open and short circuits of conductive lines. A probe is brought into contact with one end of each of the conductive lines, AC power is applied, and the conductive lines are tested using electrical variations measured in the probe. By using a single-side probe device, it is possible to remarkably reduce the number of probes when the open or short circuit of a PCB pattern, a data transmission line or an electrical cable is tested and to remarkably reduce time or labor necessary for testing the open or short circuit. Since the measurement is performed only at one end of the conductive line to test the open or short circuit of the conductive line, it is possible to self-diagnose the open or short circuit when a single-side probe device is mounted in an input/output port of an electrical device.

  • Patent number: 7447784
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an authentication method using a cellular phone in internet. According to the present invention, when connecting to internet or performing electronic commerce, the authentication is performed through the cellular phone in parallel with a personal information stored when user's joining the cellular phone service, a number particular to the cellular phone, a secret number in an authentication required for the connection or the settlement of accounts. Specifically, in authentication process for making up accounts, besides the line connected to internet, a separate cellular phone line is used and if the authentication data of the internet site server is identical to that of the cellular phone service company, the authentication process is completed, thereby eliminating the danger of hacking basically.

  • Publication number: 20080017508
    Abstract: A non-contact type single side probe structure, in which a plurality of insulating films and conductive films are repeatedly stacked, includes probe electrodes formed at an inner conductive film portion of the cross-section of the structure and a guard portion formed at an outer conductive film portion surrounding the probe electrodes. Accordingly, it is possible to form the probe electrodes to have the thickness of the conductive films corresponding to a pitch of a pattern electrode, thereby detecting open and short circuit in a miniaturized pattern electrode. The cross-section used as a probe is spaced at a specified distance or further from contact holes, thereby having a high resistance to noises.
