    Abstract: A probe head for a test equipment of electronic devices comprises a plurality of contact probes inserted in guide holes provided in at least one upper guide and one lower guide, a bending area for the contact probes being defined between the upper and lower guides, each contact probe having at least one first terminal portion which protrudes of a first length from the lower guide and ends with a contact tip (22A) adapted to abut onto a respective contact pad of a device to be tested, as well as a second terminal portion which protrudes of a second length from the upper guide and ends with a contact head adapted to abut onto a contact pad of a board for connecting or interfacing with the test equipment, suitably comprising at least one protection structure projecting from the upper guide in direction of a longitudinal development axis of the contact probes towards the board, the protection structure thus extending in correspondence of the contact heads of the contact probes.

    Abstract: A probe head for a testing apparatus integrated on a semiconductor wafer is disclosed having a first plurality of contact probes having a first transversal diameter, a second plurality of micro contact probes having a second transversal diameter, smaller than the first transversal diameter, and a flexible membrane having conductive tracks for connecting a first plurality contact probe with a corresponding second plurality micro contact probe. The second plurality contact probes are arranged between the testing apparatus and the flexible membrane, and the second plurality micro contact probes are arranged between the flexible membrane and a semiconductor wafer. The second plurality micro contact probes are configured to abut onto contact pads of a device under test integrated in the semiconductor wafer, with each first plurality contact probe being in contact with a corresponding second plurality micro contact probe through a conductive track of the flexible membrane to connect the device under test with the testing apparatus.

    Abstract: A testing head comprises a plurality of contact probes, and a guide having a plurality of guide holes for housing the contact probes and including a conductive portion. Each contact probe includes a first end region and a second end region, and a body which extends between the first and second end regions. Suitably, the conductive portion includes a group of the guide holes and electrically connects contact probes of a first group of the contact probes. The contact probes of the first group slide in the guide holes in the conductive portion and are adapted to carry a same signal, and each contact probe of a second group of the plurality of contact probes is surrounded by an insulating coating layer that extends along the body of each contact probe of the second group, thereby insulating the contact probes of the second group from the conductive portion.
