Abstract:
A MEMS probe adapted to contact a corresponding terminal of an integrated circuit, integrated on at least one chip of a semiconductor material wafer during a test phase of the wafer is provided. The probe includes a support structure comprising a first access terminal and a second access terminal; the support structure defines a conductive path between said first access terminal and said second access terminal. The probes further-includes a probe region connected to the support structure adapted to contact the corresponding terminal of the integrated circuit during the test phase for providing at least one test signal received from the first access terminal and the second access terminal to the integrated circuit through at least one portion of the conductive path, and/or providing at least one test signal generated by the integrated circuit to at least one between the first access terminal and the second access terminal trough at least one portion of the conductive path. The probe region is arranged on the conductive path of the support structure between said first access terminal and said second access terminal.
