Abstract: A method of determining a minimum permissible tip diameter of probing needles of a probe card for wafer probing is described. The method includes performing a plurality of contact procedures of at least one probing needle to a plurality of bonding pads on a wafer. The plurality of contact procedures is performed at different stress applied by the at least one probing needle to the bonding pads. A chart of indentation depths of the plurality of bonding pads caused by the contact procedures at different stress is determined. A set of calibration coefficients based on the chart is determined, wherein the set of calibration coefficients allows to compute a predicted indentation depth as a function of stress. The minimum permissible probing needle tip diameter is determined based on an evaluation of the function.

Abstract: A method in accordance with various embodiments may include: measuring a contact force between at least one probe and at least one contact pad for a plurality of probe overdrive positions, and determining a relationship between contact force and probe overdrive position from the measured contact forces; determining a first region in the relationship exhibiting a non-linear dependence of the contact force from the probe overdrive position, and a second region exhibiting a linear dependence of the contact force from the probe overdrive position; and determining a process window for a pad probing process based on the determined first region and second region.
