Abstract :
Contact-based wafer testing of complex integrated systems presents several drawbacks: inherent limitations in terms of pad pitch reduction and number of devices tested in parallel, eventual "touchdown" damage to the chip when recursive test is required. This paper presents a solution based on a wireless communication between the test equipment and the device under test.
