ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit device (11) is tested by directing a laser beam (19) onto an electrochromic member (17) in close proximity to a conductor (13) of the integrated circuit. Reflected laser light is directed to a detector (21) which converts it to an electrical signal for display by a lock-in amplifier (25). The display characterizes the voltage on the conductor (17) and thereby permits diagnosis of the operation of the integrated circuit (11).
