ABSTRACT:
Two types of programmable elements, fuses and antifuses, are disclosed for forming an electrically programmable burn-in board in one embodiment and an electrically programmable device-under-test (DUT) card in another embodiment. Both types of programmable elements can also be used in a reconfiguration device for interconnecting electrical contacts in a first configuration to electrical contacts in a second configuration. The various embodiments of this invention include, for example, a component socket, a socket adapter, a cable, a cable adapter, a scrambler card for a burn-in board and a device-under-test card for a burn-in board. A method for forming a fuse is also disclosed.
