Form Factor Results<br />
• Fairly predictable results<br />
• Larger shift than epoxy ring<br />
• Not as consistent as expected<br />
• Data on only one card should not be<br />
taken as representative of type<br />

Membrane Results<br />
• Mylar expands and probes move a<br />
lot<br />
• Very well behaved – predictable<br />
results<br />
• More temperature sensitive than<br />
other technologies<br />
• Requires card to be designed for<br />
temperature of use<br />

Cobra Considerations<br />
• Lower die is close to wafer<br />
– Heats up considerably<br />
– Test time vs. Index Time changes<br />
heating<br />
• Mylar insulator may move<br />
• Probe stresses<br />

Conclusions<br />
• Probe movement for most technologies<br />
with temperature is NOT predictable, but<br />
it IS repeatable<br />
• Epoxy card construction techniques can<br />
make a significant difference in<br />
temperature performance<br />
• FFI cards are more predictable than<br />
epoxy, but there are still variations<br />

Conclusions (2)<br />
• Membrane card is the most<br />
predictable<br />
• Membrane card has largest shifts<br />
with temperature<br />
