Abstract:
Testing systems are provided for testing a device under test (DUT), such as an integrated circuit. A preferred testing system includes a test array that incorporates a frame. The frame defines an aperture that is appropriately sized and shaped for receiving a DUT and mounts a testing probe that is adapted to extend into the aperture. The probe preferably is received within a recess formed along a bottom surface of the frame, thereby tending to enable the bottom surface of the frame to properly engage a surface to which it is to be mounted. Additionally, the probe may incorporate a configuration that tends to maintain the position of the probe relative to the frame and, thus, relative to the aperture. For instance, a shaped portion may be intermediately disposed along the length of the probe. So configured, when the shaped portion of the probe is received within a corresponding complimentary-shaped portion of its recess, the probe is substantially prevented from being urged along its longitudinal axis.
