Multitest used by integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) and final test subcontractors worldwide, announces that it now offers a Kelvin Tutorial. A Kelvin contactor is required for economical testing of devices with measurements that are sensitive to contact resistance. A true Kelvin contactor completely eliminates contact-resistance errors from DC parametric tests.
Applying this excellent electrical solution to integrated circuit test is a mechanical challenge. The targets that need to be contacted with two electrically-isolated, mechanically-independent probes are very small and closely spaced (and getting smaller and closer).
Kelvin contacting is more expensive initially. When Kelvin contactors are implemented, they cut costs in high-volume production tests.

There are many Kelvin contactors available, from different vendors and using different technologies. The choice should be made carefully.

Multitest’s Kelvin Tutorial explains how a Kelvin connections work and when they are needed. Additionally, it includes some practical recommendations and examples.
