Semiconductor component and device and method for connecting such a component, particularly for test purposes

摘要

An electrical connection device includes a platform and a moving head. Between these components a semiconductor component is received and retained. The semiconductor component includes an electrical connection plate bearing an integrated circuit chip. The platform supports the making of electrical connection with front electrical connection terminals provided on a front panel of the electrical connection plate. The moving head bears a printed circuit board having interlinked pairs of contact terminals and associated pairs of electrical connection posts which make contact between the pairs of contact terminals of the printed circuit board and rear link terminals and rear transfer terminals provided on a rear panel of the electrical connection plate. The electrical connection plate includes circuitry which electrically connects the rear link terminals to the chip and also circuitry which electrically connects rear transfer terminals to front transfer terminals.
