System And Method For The Probing Of A Wafer

View page
US Patent:
7068056, Jun 27, 2006
Filed:
Jul 18, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/184216
Inventors:
Byron H. Gibbs - McKinney TX, US
Phillip H. Ball - Richardson TX, US
Adolphus E. McClanahan - Garland TX, US
Assignee:
Texas Instruments Incorporated - Dallas TX
International Classification:
G01R 31/02
US Classification:
324754
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method for probing a wafer includes providing a plurality of pressure sensors on a surface of a probe card holding tray, positioning a probe card of a testhead relative to a prober supporting a wafer, engaging the probe card with the probe card holding tray, receiving a plurality of pressure signals from respective pressure sensors, and comparing the pressure signals to determine if the probe card is substantially parallel with the prober.

Probe Card And Temperature Stabilizer For Testing Semiconductor Devices

View page
US Patent:
7495458, Feb 24, 2009
Filed:
May 17, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/383866
Inventors:
Adolphus E. McClanahan - Garland TX, US
John D. Wolfe - Celina TX, US
Michael P. Harris - Garland TX, US
Frank J. Mesa - Murphy TX, US
Assignee:
Texas Instruments Incorporated - Dallas TX
International Classification:
G01R 31/02
US Classification:
324754
Abstract:
One aspect of the invention provides an apparatus that includes a probe card having probe needles associated therewith. A temperature stabilizer element is couplable to the probe card. The temperature stabilizer is configured to either raise or lower a temperature of the probe needles to reduce movement of the probe needles.

System And Method For The Probing Of A Wafer

View page
US Patent:
20060071679, Apr 6, 2006
Filed:
Oct 4, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/958777
Inventors:
Byron Gibbs - McKinney TX, US
Adolphus McClanahan - Garland TX, US
Phillip Ball - Richardson TX, US
International Classification:
G01R 31/26
US Classification:
324765000
Abstract:
According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for probing a wafer includes positioning a testhead relative to a prober supporting a wafer in a testing position. The method also includes receiving at least one prober signal identifying the angular position of the prober and at least one testhead signal identifying the angular position of the testhead. The at least one prober signal and the at least one testhead signal are processed to determine if the testhead is substantially parallel with the prober, and output is provided to allow for adjustment of the position of the testhead in response to determining that the testhead is not substantially parallel with the prober.

Clamp With Wafer Release For Semiconductor Wafer Processing Equipment

View page
US Patent:
55135943, May 7, 1996
Filed:
Oct 20, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/140351
Inventors:
Adolphus E. McClanahan - San Jose CA
Frederick T. Turner - Sunnyvale CA
Kenneth E. Anderson - San Jose CA
Phillip B. Nicholson - San Jose CA
Martin A. Hutchinson - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
B05C 1300
US Classification:
118503
Abstract:
An apparatus for releasably clamping a substrate to a support platform, or other support system, at a face of the substrate is described. In one embodiment, a retractable clamp holds a substrate near its edges on a support platform when the clamp is in its fully extended position. One or more leaf springs are mounted to the clamp and apply force to the substrate at respective points in the event the substrate adheres to the clamp, thereby releasing the substrate from the clamp. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one or more activators are positioned in cooperative relationship to the leaf springs to cause the leaf springs to retract into recesses in the clamp when the clamp is extended against the substrate. In their retracted position, the leaf springs do not contact the substrate so as to minimize the generation of particle contamination and the chance of the release leaf springs themselves adhering to the substrate.
