Abstract:
Apparatus for testing semiconductor devices comprising die stacks, the apparatus comprising a substrate having an array of pockets in a surface thereof arranged to correspond to conductive elements protruding from a semiconductor device to be tested. The pockets include conductive contacts with traces extending to conductive pads, which may be configured as test pads, jumper pads, edge connects or contact pads. The substrate may comprise a semiconductor wafer or wafer segment and, if the latter, multiple segments may be received in recesses in a fixture. Testing may be effected using a probe card, a bond head carrying conductive pins, or through conductors carried by the fixture.

Claim (Index 1):
A semiconductor device test apparatus, comprising:\n at least one substrate comprising at least one test site including an array of pockets, each pocket extending into the substrate from only one surface thereof to a bottom surface comprising material of the substrate, each pocket of the array sized and configured for at least partially receiving a single conductive element protruding from a semiconductor device to be tested on the at least one test site; and a conductive contact within each pocket and located at least proximate the bottom of the pocket coupled to a conductive trace on the substrate extending to a conductive pad on the substrate and offset from the array of pockets.
