Patent ID: 7532022

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: a body having a first surface and a second surface, the body having a substantially circular central portion, and a plurality of bendable arms extending radially outwardly from the central portion, each bendable arm having a connector tab disposed at the distal end thereof; a first plurality of contact terminals disposed on the second surface of the central portion of the body, the first plurality of contact terminals arranged in a pattern to match the layout of a first plurality of pads across a wafer to be contacted, and operable to simultaneously provide electrical connection to each of the first plurality of pads; at least one contact terminal disposed on the first surface of the plurality of connector tabs; a plurality of electrically conductive pathways disposed in the body such that each of the first plurality of contact terminals is electrically connected to a corresponding one of the contact terminals on the first surface of the connector tabs; and a groove for receiving an O-ring on the second surface of the central portion; 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 the circumferential edge of the wafer.
