Technical Insight
Prober eyes challenging circuits (Product Showcase)
Cascade Microtech has unveiled a probe designed to provide a number of simultaneous connections to a wafer. The Eye-Pass system also employs power bypassing to provide low-impedance and resonance-free power connections over a wide frequency range. Among the other benefits are on-wafer evaluation of digital circuits, oscillation-free testing of wide-bandwidth analog circuits and compatibility with the company s Air Coplanar probes, which allows functional testing at speed for known-good-die. Flexibility is also built-in with up to 12 contacts per probe head. Available contact types include ground, logic, standard and Eye-Pass power supply, power supply sense and AC signal (see ).
