ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for testing an integrated circuit (12) generally comprises an input pad (14) and output pad (15) having photo-sensitive sensors (20, 46) formed thereon for eliminating the need to come into direct contact with a probe card for testing the integrity of an integrated circuit.
