ABSTRACT:
Electronic systems using separate and distinct conductive layers for power and ground are insulated from one another and a patterned signal conductive layer to form a flexible substrate for mounting a semiconductor die in a semiconductor device assembly of the system. TAB technology is utilized to produce an assembly that has superior electrical characteristics because power and ground is conducted on separate low impedance conductive layers. The power and ground leads connecting the semiconductor die and external circuits are selected from the signal trace layer, cut bent downward and attached by bonding to the respective power or ground layer. A tool is disclosed for cutting the selected leads. The present invention further provides a system utilizing a wafer probe card which includes a multi-layer, relatively flexible tape-like substrate having a first conductive layer patterned to have a number of probe leads thereon. The first conductive layer of probe leads are formed on an insulating layer having an inner peripheral edge defining a central opening in which an IC die is placed for testing. The insulating layer further includes inner and outer peripheral openings therethrough and a second conductive layer is provided on a side of the insulating layer opposite the probe leads. Inner and outer edge portions of the second conductive layer are exposed through the inner and outer peripheral openings, respectively. Selected probe leads are cut at an edge of the inner and outer peripheral openings in the insulating layer, bent past the insulating layer and bonded to the exposed inner and outer edge portions of the second conductive layer.
