SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR PERFORMING A NON-CONTACT ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT ON A CELL, NON-CONTACT ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENT CELL VEHICLE, CHIP, WAFER, DIE, OR LOGIC BLOCK
Systems, devices, and methods for performing a non-contact electrical measurement (NCEM) on a NCEM-enabled cell included in a NCEM-enabled cell vehicle may be configured to perform NCEMs while the NCEM-enabled cell vehicle is moving. The movement may be due to vibrations in the system and/or movement of a movable stage on which the NCEM-enabled cell vehicle is positioned. Position information for an electron beam column producing the electron beam performing the NCEMs and/or for the moving stage may be used to align the electron beam with targets on the NCEM-enabled cell vehicle while it is moving.

Electric field sensor, system, and method for programming electronic devices on a wafer
An electric field sensor includes sense and reference cells. The sense cell produces a resistance that varies relative to an intensity of an electric field, and the reference cell produces a resistance that is invariable relative to the intensity of the electric field. An output signal indicative of the intensity of the electric field is determined using the difference between the resistances. A system includes an electric field source that outputs a digital test program as an electric field signal. The system further includes the electric field sensor formed with IC dies on a wafer. The electric field sensor receives the electric field signal. The received electric field signal is converted to the test program, and the test program is stored in memory on the wafer. The electric field source does not physically contact the dies, but can flood an entire surface of the wafer with the electric field signal.

An automated circuit test system includes a magnetic sensor array configured to measure, at a plurality of locations, a magnetic field induced by a circuit under test. A circuit drive module can energize the circuit under test to induce the magnetic field. Optionally, the circuit drive module detects an electrical response from the circuit under test. Optionally, magnetic field data is combined with electrical response data prior to outputting the test result.
TEST EQUIPMENT FOR TESTING A DEVICE UNDER TEST HAVING AN ANTENNA
Devices for testing a DUT having a circuit coupled to an antenna are disclose. The device can include a DUT location for receiving a DUT, and an adapter or probe is used to wirelessly “over-the-air” (OTA) electronically test a DUT with an embedded antenna or antenna array with the measurement probe 140 located in close proximity to the DUT. The probe can be located very close to the DUT (e.g., in the near-field region). Although the probe is located in close proximity to the DUT antenna or antenna array elements it does not significantly disturb or interfere with probe during testing.
