Abstract:
1. A method for testing a semiconductor component having a plurality of terminal contacts comprising: providing a board comprising a plurality of contacts in electrical communication with a test circuitry; providing a substrate configured to float on the board comprising a plurality of flexible segments configured to move independently of one another; providing a plurality of movable test contactors on the substrate comprising first contacts on first side of the flexible segments configured to electrically engage the terminal contacts and second contacts on second opposing sides of the flexible segments in electrical communication with the first contacts, and a resilient anisotropic conductive polymer layer configured to electrically engage the second contacts and the contacts; placing the component on the substrate with the first contacts electrically contacting the terminal contacts using movement of the first contacts, and the second contacts electrically contacting the contacts using a resiliency of the anisotropic conductive polymer layer; and applying test signals through the test contactors and the terminal contacts to the component.
