It is described a testing head (20) comprising vertical probes including at least one guide (22) provided with guide holes (22A) for housing a plurality of contact probes (21), each of the contact probes (21) having at least one contact tip (25) able to ensure the mechanical and electrical contact with a corresponding contact pad (26) of a device under test (27), the guide (22) being housed in a containment element (23) of the testing head (20). Suitably, each of the contact probes (21) comprises a deformed portion (30), placed in a bending zone (20A) between the guide (22) and the device under test (27), that deformed portion (30) being adapted to further deform during the normal working of the testing head (20) and being prolonged, at least towards the device under test (27), by an end portion (31) having a diameter suitable to realize the contact tip (25), the end portion (31) having a longitudinal extension or height exceeding 500 μm.

A fault detection circuit for a flexible probe tip (200) includes one or more conductive fault detection traces (210) on a flexible substrate (202) which are connected to a fault detector (240) capable of determining if an electrical discontinuity or defect is present in the fault detection traces (210). The fault detector (240) may also include a fault indicator, such as a light, to indicate to a user that it has detected a discontinuity and therefore that flexible probe tip (200) should not be soldered onto the user's device under test. The fault detector (240) may determine that there is a discontinuity in the fault detection traces (210) by checking if the impedance of the fault detection trace (210) changes, or by checking for a drop in voltage from one end of the fault detection trace to the other end, or by using other methods.

摘要:
Occurrence of a spark is suppressed, and burnout or removal of a probe is prevented in a probe of the present invention. The probe of the present invention is a probe provided with a linear main body portion having a tip in contact with an electrode of a member to be tested in a state where a board-side end is in contact with the circuit board side of a probe card and an elastic support portion which is provided on a board-side end portion of the main body portion and elastically supports the main body portion on the probe card side. The elastic support portion has its base end side integrally fixed to the board-side end portion of the main body portion and is formed with the distal end side directed toward the tip portion of the main body portion and curved having an arc shape toward the main body portion side. Moreover, two pieces of the elastic support portion are provided symmetrically on the both sides sandwiching the main body portion on the board-side end portion of the main body portion and they are configured by being curved, each having an arc shape with the same radius of curvature. The above-described probe is used as a probe to be provided in plural in the probe card.

The present invention relates to a probe (502) for testing electrical properties of test samples (508). The probe may comprise a body (504) having a probe arm (506) defining a proximal and an opposite distal end, the probe arm extending from the body at the proximal end of the probe arm, a first axis defined by the proximal and the distal end. Further, the probe arm may define a geometry allowing flexible movement of the probe arm along the first axis and along a second axis perpendicularly to the first axis and along a third axis orthogonal to a plane defined by the first axis and second axis.
摘要:
Techniques for performing wafer-level burn-in and test of semiconductor devices include a test substrate (106 and 108) having active electronic components (106a, 106b, 106c, 106d) such as ASICs mounted to an interconnection substrate (108) or incorporated therein, metallic spring contact element (110) effecting interconnections between the ASICs and a plurality of devices-under-test (DUTs) (102a, 102b, 102c, 102d) on a wafer-under-test (WUT), all disposed in a vacuum vessel so that the ASICs can be operated at temperatures independent from and significantly lower than the burn-in temperature of the DUTs. The spring contact elements (110) may be mounted to either the DUTs or to the ASICs, and may fan out to relax tolerance constraints on aligning and interconnecting the ASICs and the DUTs. A significant reduction in interconnect count and consequent simplification of the interconnection substrate (108) is realized because the ASICs are capable of receiving a plurality of signals for testing the DUTs over relatively few signal lines from a host controller (116) and promulgating these signals over the relatively many interconnections between the ASICs and the DUTS.
