ABSTRACT:
The invention uses transferable solder bump connection techniques in combination with a disposable test board to test and burn-in "as received" (i.e., untested) dies. Using transferable solder bumps, a die is first attached to the top of a disposable test board. The test board can be designed to allow 100% functional testing of the die as well as burn-in. Dies that successfully complete the test and burn-in process are considered to be "known good dies." Next, heat is applied to remove the known good die from the test board. A property of the invention is that solder bumps transfer with the die such that it can be used immediately in a flip-chip configuration and affixed to a MCM or other circuit board.
