Abstract: A probe card for testing a device under test having a plurality of contact pads includes a support plate having first contact pads thereon. A flexible membrane has a first face and a peripheral portion including second contact pads thereon. A plurality of contact probes are associated with a first face of the flexible membrane and are configured to abut onto the plurality of contact pads of the device under test. A sliding contact area includes: the first contact pads formed on the support plate; the second contact pads formed on the peripheral portion of the flexible membrane, the peripheral portion of the flexible membrane configured to come in pressing contact onto the support plate at the sliding contact area. A pressing element contacts the peripheral portion of the flexible membrane at the sliding contact area, and the pressing element puts the second contact pads into pressing contact with the first contact pads.

Abstract: A probe head for testing a device under test integrated on a semiconductor wafer includes a plurality of contact probes, each having a first end and a second end, and at least one first lower guide and one second lower guide at the first end. The guides are parallel to each other and have a respective plurality of first and second guide holes for slidingly housing the contact probes. At least one third lower guide is substantially parallel to the first lower guide and to the second lower guide and includes a plurality of third guide holes for slidingly housing the contact probes. The guide holes are disposed in a shifted arrangement to eliminate a scrub movement of the first ends of each contact probe of the probe head.

Abstract: A probe card for a test equipment of electronic devices includes a flexible membrane configured to carry high frequency signals between a device under test and a support plate. The flexible membrane is connected to the support plate through a peripheral zone, and a damping structure is arranged between the support plate and the flexible membrane. A plurality of micro contact probes include a body extending between a first end and a second end, and the second end is configured to abut onto contact pads of the device under test, and the damping structure and the first ends of the micro contact probes are in contact with opposite faces of a same contact zone of the flexible membrane. The flexible membrane includes at least one weakening zone arranged between the contact zone and the peripheral zone.
