    摘要: A probe card apparatus comprising a rigid substrate having thermal expansion characteristics near that of silicon, laminated with a flex film having laser patterned leads and contact pads, and contact elements comprising noble metals protruding from two major surfaces, the first mirroring the closely spaced chip pads, and the second aligned to the more generously spaced probe card pads, providing an accurate and reproducible, low cost, rapidly fabricated probe contact device, capable of contacting very high density bond pads in either area array or perimeter locations, of being electrically optimized, and readily maintained.

    摘要: A high density probe card contact apparatus including a support block fitted into an opening in a probe card, and holding a plurality of fine tipped needles extending inward and below an opening in the center of the block. The needle tips are a noble metal integrally connected with a less costly conductive metal which forms the more widely spaced fingers of the needles, and which terminate in contacts to the probe card. Laser etching defines the fine needle pattern in a thin sheet of the two-metal composition which is secured to a polymeric film. The contact apparatus is assembled by positioning one or more sections of the polymer with needles on the support film.
