    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.
