Abstract:
Device for pulsed high-current loading of integrated circuits, comprising:a mount for receiving a substrate including one or several integrated circuits to be loaded; and a pulse injector which comprises a reference electrode, a contact electrode for contacting terminal areas of said integrated circuits, and a support for said contact and reference electrodes, wherein said reference electrode has a plane surface adjustable in parallel with and to a defined spacing from the surface of a substrate inserted into said mount, with said contact electrode projecting through a recess or opening provided in said plane surface of said reference electrode, wherein said recess or opening is so wide that an optical adjustment of said contact electrode relative to the terminal areas of said integrated circuits through said reference electrode is possible, and that the partial capacitance existing between said reference electrode and said integrated circuit are not influenced, and wherein a mount is provided for a further contact electrode on said reference electrode, which further electrode when fastened is conductively connected to said reference electrode and projects through a further opening formed in the plane surface of said reference electrode.
