Contactless testing of wiring networks by an electron beam system utilizing induced current detection
Abstract
The history and evolution of electron beam based contactless multichip module (MCM) test technology at IBM is described. The feasibility of a new contactless test method based on opens and shorts detection by means of the measurement of net capacitance is demonstrated. A case is given for the economic viability of a tester based on this technique.
