Abstract
The planarity of external terminals or a ball grid array on a device package can be improved through use of test probes that flatten the electrical terminals while forming the electrical contacts for package testing. After testing, the package has external terminals with improved planarity that improves the electrical connections formed during assembly of a system containing the package.
