This document outlines the design and preparation of a probe card for EQENG by Y. Kwon from Yonsei University. Key elements include the layout of pin definitions and pads sourced from CERN, with a total of 103 pads designed for dual-pin contact enabling connection checks. The probe card includes schematics for the circuit, algorithms for contact checking, and status reporting through Ethernet. It also details considerations for a transparent chuck and contact status verification processes. The design emphasizes modular flexibility for further improvements.

PAD layout Total 103 pads to make contact
PAD size We want dual pin contact for each pad.
Needlelayout Invisible Chip
Specification 0. Dual pins for each pad Pin A for external connection (power/ground/IO), Pin B to check pin contact with the pad 1. 103 x 2 = 206 pins. 2. 14 + 3 relays as switches when we decouple pin A and pin B 3. 8 LEDs to check probe card position by eye. 4. Contact status check at every 10 ms. 5. Contact status report by ethernet.
Algorithm to check contact Disconnect power/input using relay. Send 1.8(V) logicpulse to each digital input pad via pin A and read pin B. If no pair read back, raise chuck via . If any pair reads back, 3. Start careful adjustment ’. 4. Send 1.8(V) sequential logic pulse to other digital input pad via pin A and read pin B. Raise ’ up until all input pad pairs read back. Send 1.8(V) sequential logic pulse to digital input pads via pin A and read pin B. (We will skip step 6 if we worry damage by electrical shock).
7. Raise ’ up until all input pad pairs read back. 8. FPGA pull down for power pin B, FPGA pull up for ground pin B. 9. Disconnect FPGA output for pin A. 10. Connect power. 11. Check FPGA pin status 12. Raise ’ up until all pin B status is OK. 13. Disconnect pin B for analog input. Use LED to display current status properly. FPGA flexibility enables variation of algorithm.
