ABSTRACT:
First and second bumps electrically connected at first and second positions along a conductive run borne by a flexible substrate are respectively oriented for contact with a pad of a die under test and a pad of a tester structure. Second and third conductive regions are electrically connected respectively to the power and ground terminals of a power source and an electrical device. The second and third regions are spaced from a first conductive region to filter high-frequency noise components from power and ground potentials provided by the power source.
