DC measurements application note

This application note explores recent advances in DC parametric measurements. New parametric testers (such as the HP4071/4072 and HP4156B/E5250A) and parametric wafer probers can overcome problems with low measurement resolution, slow measurements, and high noise by applying the new technologies discussed in the note. Other methods to ensure accurate ultra-low-level measurements (femtoamp and femtofarad) over temperature (-65 to 300°C) are also reviewed.

A four-page, four-color illustrated brochure describes a semiautomatic Model 860 Omni bonder designed for low-volume production runs of gold, solder, adhesive, or stud-bumped flip chips, as well as laser diodes and eutectic die. Typical applications include flip chip bonding solder-bumped die on PCB or flex circuitry; flip chip bonding stud-bumped die with conductive adhesive on ceramic substrates; bonding edge-emitting laser diodes to submounts using gold tin preforms; and eutectic die bonding silicon die to ceramic substrates with multiple bond sites. The brochure also details product features, application process steps, and specs.
