Patent ID: 8704544

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising; a generally circular body having a first surface facing a first direction and a second surface facing a second direction opposite from the first direction, the body having a substantially circular central portion, and a plurality of bendable arms attached to the central portion in a circular arrangement and extending radially outwardly from the central portion, each bendable arm having a connector tab disposed at a distal end thereof; a plurality of first contact terminals carried by the central portion of the body and facing the second direction, the first plurality of contact terminals arranged in a pattern to match a layout of a first plurality of pads across a wafer to be contacted, and operable to simultaneously provide electrical connection to the corresponding first plurality of pads; a plurality of second contact terminals facing the first direction,with individual second contact terminals carried by individual connector tabs; a plurality of electrically conductive pathways carried by the body to electrically connect corresponding first and second contact terminals on the first surface of the connector tabs; and wherein the substantially circular central portion of the body is removably attachable to the wafer; wherein the substantially circular central portion of the body has an area that substantially matches the area of the wafer; and wherein the plurality of bendable arms extending radially outwardly from the central portion provide electrical pathways that extend beyond- a circumferential edge of the wafer.
