  • Patent number: 6351836
    Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor device capable of performing a function test and a DC test including an output voltage test every time a test jig is sequentially caused to come in contact with pads of the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device comprises a principal plane (2) of a semiconductor substrate, and pads (3) provided on the principal plane (2). The principal plane (2) is provided with four probing areas (PA1) to (PA4) with which the test jig comes in contact. A large number of pads (3) include four sets of driving pads (3ab) for supplying a driving voltage, and four sets of boundary scanning pads (BSP) for performing boundary scan. Even if it comes in contact with any of the probing areas (PA1) to (PA4), the test jig comes in contact with the driving pads (3ab) and the boundary scanning pads (BSP).

  • Patent number: 6300577
    Abstract: A film carrier includes a base film (1), a first interconnect line (5a) formed on the top surface of the base film (1) and connected to test pads (3), and a second interconnect line (5b) formed on the bottom surface of the base film (1) and connected to the test pads (3). After leads (6) are plated, connecting portions between the first interconnect line (5a) and other than one of the test pads which is associated with a pad which is to receive a power supply potential, and connecting portions between the second interconnect line (5b) and other than one of the test pads which is associated with a pad which is to receive a ground potential are severed using a laser and the like. Then, the film carrier is wound onto a reel, and the reel with the film carrier wound thereon is loaded into a burn-in apparatus. A potential supply portion of the burn-in apparatus applies the power supply potential to the first interconnect line (5a) and applies the ground potential to the second interconnect line (5b).

  • Patent number: 5894172
    Abstract: A bare chip (1) is rectangular, and has a front surface (1a) on the center of which semiconductor elements are integrated and a back surface. Notches (2) are formed on a side of the bare chip (1) according to the kind of the semiconductor elements integrated on the bare chip (1). The notches (2) are oblong and extend through the bare chip (1) from the front surface (1a) to the back surface. For example, assuming that the notch (2) represents "1" and a portion without the notch (2) represents "0", one-bit information is obtained according to the presence or absence of the notch (2). When detection of several portions is made, binary information according to a detection result, i.e., information regarding the type of the bare chip (1), is obtained. For detection of the presence or absence of the notch (2), the bare chip (1) is irradiated with light, and then whether the light goes through the notch (2) or is intercepted by the bare chip (1) is detected.
