Test Pads For Integrated Circuit Chips

US Patent:
4751458, Jun 14, 1988
Filed:
Sep 27, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/780714
Inventors:
John P. Elward - Berkeley Heights NJ
Assignee:
American Telephone and Telegraph Company, AT&T Bell Laboratories - Murray Hill NJ
International Classification:
G01R 3126
US Classification:
324158F
Abstract:
Integrated circuit chips included on a wafer typically include multiple internal test pads. During diagnostic testing of the wafer, a fine-point test probe is utilized to contact the pads. As feature sizes decrease, the task of consistently and reliably probing very-small-area internal test pads becomes increasingly difficult and time-consuming. In accordance with a feature of the present invention, each internal test pad on a chip is designed to include an interior opening. This provides a continuous interior edge which reliably limits sliding of an inserted tip while ensuring good electrical contact between the tip and the pad being probed.
