摘要:
An object of the present invention relates to an arrangement of a manufactured probe in a prober apparatus without being exposed to an atmospheric air.The present invention relates to a probe storage container which can supply a probe in a prober apparatus without being exposed to an atmospheric air. Preferably, the probe is stored in the probe storage container by removing an oxide film in a leading end portion of the probe in accordance with a dry treatment using an ion source or the like, without being exposed to the atmospheric air. In accordance with the present invention, it is possible to replace and attach the probe with respect to the prober apparatus without being exposed to the atmospheric air, and it is possible to avoid a formation of the oxide film on a surface of the probe. Further, a worker attaching the probe to the prober apparatus can work without being directly in contact with the probe, and it is possible to prevent the leading end portion of the probe from being broken. Accordingly, it is possible to stably measure an electric characteristic of a semiconductor device or the like on the wafer.
