            Abstract : 
A capacitively coupled probing circuit with a de-skewer, a low-pass filter and a weak-feedback receiver realize membrane-based wafer-level simultaneous testing robustly with more than 300 Kpin connections. Both the probe chip and 300 mm DUT-wafer are fabricated in 90 nm and the measured power consumption of RX core is 0.5 mW with BER of 10-12 at 1 Gb/s.
