ABSTRACT:
A plurality of integrated circuit devices are bonded to a substrate. Signal traces for corresponding pins of the devices are run to the same location, but are not electrically connected. They are, however, located in close physical proximity at a designated location. At this designated location, a properly shaped and sized contact can be used to contact all of the corresponding traces simultaneously, allowing parallel burn-in of all devices on the substrate to be performed. The devices can still be tested individually after burn-in. Once functionality of the overall subsystem has been confirmed and encapsulation completed, a permanent contact can be made at the designated location to all traces simultaneously so that the devices will be in parallel, and the substrate can be encapsulated to form a completed subsystem.
