Patent ID: 8269515

Claim:
An electronic device for use with a probe head in automated test equipment, the device comprising: a first plurality of semiconductor devices arranged to form at least one driver arranged to couple to at least one device under test, the at least one driver being configured to transmit a signal to the at least one device under test; and a second plurality of semiconductor devices arranged to form at least one receiver arranged to couple to the at least one device under test, the at least one receiver being configured to mount i) on a side of the probe head proximate the at least one device under test, and ii) adjacent a plurality of compressible probe contact points on the probe head, the probe contact points for contacting the at least one device under test, and the at least one receiver being configured to receive a signal from the at least one device under test, each of the second plurality of semiconductor devices having a die with a thickness less than about 300 μm, the at least one receiver adapted to mount directly to the probe head.
