  • Publication number: 20110215481
    Abstract: In a semiconductor device, a pad metal has at least a portion located immediately under a probe region, and the portion is divided into a plurality of narrow metal layers each arranged in parallel with a traveling direction of a probe. Thus, it is possible to enhance surface flatness of the pad metal and to prevent a characteristic of a semiconductor device from deteriorating without complication in processing and increase in chip size.

  • Patent number: 7170189
    Abstract: Circuits under electrode terminals and a nonconductor layer of the electrode terminals in semiconductor devices are prevented from being damaged during a test, such as a burn-in test, on the semiconductor devices formed on a wafer. Alignment patterns provided on the semiconductor wafer have detector electrode terminals and conductor electrode terminals. A detector electrode terminal surrounds a conductor electrode terminal separated by a gap from the detector electrode terminals and a portion of the surrounding detector electrode terminal is open.

  • Patent number: 7011488
    Abstract: A slide arm for a work implement is provided, which is simply structured to obtain improved assembling precision thereby ensuring smooth operation. To this end, the slide arm is such that a plurality of tubular structural bodies (i.e., outer and inner tubes), each of which is formed by bending a one-piece plate into a shape having a substantially triangular cross-section and circular vertex portions, are telescoped one within the other with sliding members (i.e., plain bearing units and slide block pieces) interposed between them at the vertex portions and such that a sliding mechanism is disposed for sliding the tubular structural bodies.
