  • Publication number: 20140184262
    Abstract: System and method using low voltage current measurements to measure voltage network currents in an integrated circuit (IC). In one aspect, a low voltage current leakage test is applied voltage networks for the IC or microchip via one or more IC chip connectors. One or multiple specifications are developed based on chip's circuit delay wherein a chip is aborted or sorted into a lesser reliability sort depending whether the chip fails specification. Alternately, a low voltage current leakage test begins an integrated circuit test flow. Then there is run a high voltage stress, and a second low voltage current leakage test is thereafter added. Then, there is compared the second low voltage test to the first low V test, and if the measured current is less on second test, this is indicative of a defect present which may result in either a scrap or downgrade reliability of chip.

  • Publication number: 20140176178
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for automatically sorting LEDs (light emitting diode) according to electrostatic resistance and a system using the same. The system includes a transport carrier for laying LEDs and passing LEDs through an electrostatic discharging zone, a lightening evaluating zone, and a sorting zone in sequence. An electrostatic discharging device discharges an electrostatic power to the LED in the electrostatic discharging zone. Furthermore, a lighting device inputs a lightening power to the LED in the lightening evaluating zone. Moreover, an evaluating device in the evaluating zone generates an evaluating signal to a sorting device in the sorting zone according to the lighting condition of the LED for allowing the sorting device to sort LEDs according to electrostatic resistance. Thereby the reliability both for the failure rate and the detection rate can be raised.
