  • Patent number: 7283920
    Abstract: A phase difference between a timing of rising or falling of the data read from a semiconductor device to be test and a timing of rising or falling of a reference clock outputted synchronized with the data is measured by operating sampling with strobe pulses configured with multi-phase pulses given the phase difference by a small amount in regard to the timing of the data and the timing of the reference clock. In addition, a glitch of the data is detected, and the quality of the semiconductor device to be tested is judged based on the phase difference and/or the glitch.

  • Patent number: 6789224
    Abstract: Data output from a semiconductor device under test and a reference clock output therefrom in synchronization with the data are sampled by slightly phased-apart multiphase strobe pulses. The phases of points of change of the output data and the reference clock are obtained from the sampled outputs, then the phase difference between them is measured, and a check is made to determine if the phase difference falls within a predetermined range, thereby evaluating the semiconductor device under test on a pass/fail basis.

  • Patent number: 6401225
    Abstract: A comparator circuit includes a window high impedance detector which detects any glitches or fails in the high impedance state of the device under test (DUT) within a specified time range. The comparator circuit includes a first analog comparator for receiving an output signal of the DUT and comparing the output signal with a high threshold voltage, a second analog comparator for receiving the output signal of the DUT and comparing the output signal with a low threshold voltage, and a window high impedance detector for detecting a deviation from a high impedance state of the DUT throughout a specified time range and for producing a fail signal when the deviation is detected.

  • Patent number: 6158649
    Abstract: By providing a mechanism for removing static electricity, even slight electric charge caused by natural electrification is removed before holding solder balls. A necessary number of solder balls are held securely. The solder balls attracted by vacuum suction are brought close to pads until the solder balls come in contact with flux surfaces of pads. While continuously holding the solder balls using vacuum suction, the solder balls are pressed against the pads. The solder balls are embedded in the flux having adherence power and held. In a solder ball mounting apparatus, therefore, solder balls can be mounted on pads of a substrate securely without using electrostatic force which is difficult to control.

  • Patent number: 6016565
    Abstract: A strobe generator includes four strobe pulse generators generating original strobe pulses having the same frequency, respectively, and correspondingly, four logical comparator circuits, the number of which is identical to that of the strobe pulse generators. Further, a mode selection circuit is provided which can set any one of mode 1, mode 2 and mode 3. In mode 1, an output signal V from a level comparator is latched by a new high speed strobe signal having a frequency four times the frequency of the original strobe pulse, and the latched signals are sequentially compared with expected value data signals. In mode 2, an output signal V from the level comparator is latched by two new high speed strobe signals having a frequency two times the frequency of the original strobe pulse, and the latched signals are sequentially compared with the expected value data signals.

  • Patent number: 5898214
    Abstract: A wire bonding device effects a bonding technique using ultrasonic waves to connect a chip having a semiconductor element and inner lead portions of a leadframe together by using metal fine wires. Herein, the wire bonding device employs a general-use leadframe, which is constructed in such a way that an angle of 0.degree. or 90.degree. is formed between the inner lead portions and frame. A frame guide is provided to transport the leadframes, which are placed at prescribed positions at a wire bonding mode. A bonding tool applies ultrasonic waves to connect the chip and the inner lead portions of the leadframe together by using the metal fine wires. An ultrasonic wave transmission arm holds the bonding tool at a tip portion thereof. The arm is capable of moving close to or apart from the leadframes, wherein a prescribed angle (e.g., 45.degree.) is kept between moving directions of the arm and longitudinal directions of all of the inner lead portions of the leadframes.
