  • Abstract
    A novel, high-density compliant probe substrate with electrical and optical probes is demonstrated. The primary purpose of this probe substrate is to provide a non-damaging, temporary interface between the device-under-test (DUT) and automated test equipment (ATE) during wafer-level testing. The probe substrate would find application for testing a full range of devices with electrical and optical I/O interconnects.
