Patent ID: 8896320

Claim:
A measuring device, comprising: a power supply configured to provide electric power to a chip via at least one of a chip connection and a chip-carrier connection; a chip arrangement receiving portion configured to receive a chip arrangement, the chip arrangement comprising a chip and a chip-carrier connected to the chip via one or more chip-to-chip-carrier connections; a detection portion comprising: a sensor plate with a center portion removed; a detection circuit coupled to the sensor plate and configured to detect an electrical signal from the sensor plate; wherein the sensor plate is configured such that it covers at least part of at least one of the chip, the chip-carrier, and the chip-to-chip-carrier connection; and wherein the sensor plate is further configured such that at least part of the at least one of the chip, the chip-carrier, and the chip-to-chip-carrier connection is uncovered by the sensor plate; a top shield plate formed between the chip arrangement and the sensor plate, wherein the to shield plate is arranged in one of a first configuration or a second configuration, wherein in the first configuration the to shield plate is arranged such that it shields at least part of the chip, the chip-carrier, and the chip-to-chip-carrier connection from the sensor plate such that at least a portion of the chip, the chip-carrier and the chip-carrier connection is not shielded from the sensor plate by the to shield plate, and wherein in the second configuration the to shield plate is arranged such that it shields at least part of the chip and the chip-carrier connection from the sensor plate such that the chip connection is not shielded from the sensor plate by the to shield plate; and a bottom shield plate formed between the chip and the chip-carrier.
