    摘要: A probe support for holding probes which serve for electrical contacting of test substrates in a prober for testing purposes comprises a probe card holder, a probe card, and a probe card adapter, The probe card and probe card adapter are electrically connected to one another as well as to a shield of electrically conductive material and are disposed such that the probe card lies in a passageway of a shield. The shield is disposed between the test substrates and the probe card holder and is electrically insulated from the holder. For testing test substrates their positioning with respect to the probes held in this manner is done by angular alignment of the contact surfaces of the test substrates to the sensor tips and the movement of the test substrates along a path which starts from a first reference position and is composed up to the first, and each additional, contact position of an x-component and a y-component.

    摘要: A probe support for holding probes which serve for electrical contacting of test substrates in a prober for testing purposes is specified. A process for testing test substrates in such a prober is also specified. The probe support comprises a probe card holder, a probe card, and a probe card adapter, where the probe card and probe card adapter are electrically connected to one another as well as to a shield of electrically conductive material and are disposed in such a manner that the probe card lies in a passageway of a shield. The shield is disposed between the test substrates and the probe card holder and is electrically insulated from it. For testing test substrates their positioning with respect to the probes held in this manner is done by angular alignment of the contact surfaces of the test substrates to the sensor tips and the movement of the test substrates along a path which starts from a first reference position and is composed up to the first, and each additional, contact position of an x-component and a y-component (FIG. 2).

    摘要: A method for perpendicular positioning of a probe card relative to a test substrate, includes storing a separation position approached in a first positioning step as a distance between the needle tips of the probe card and the substrate, storing a contact position approached in a second positioning step until the probe card contacts the substrate, and displaying an image of the needle tips. For avoiding erroneous operation after a probe card has been changed, when imaging the needle tips, the stored contact position is imaged and is changed until presentation of this contact position corresponds to actual height of the tips appropriate for the respective probe card and this setting is then stored as a new contact position. A display device presents the needle tips and the stored contact position and is connected to a memory, a recording device and an input device which changes the contact position.

    摘要: A method of contacting a contact area with the tip of a contact needle (contact tip) in a prober and the arrangement of such a prober, is based on the object of ensuring reliable contacting and direct observation of the establishment of the contact between the contact tip and the contact area when contacting contact pads of small dimensions. The prober substantially includes a base frame with a movement device including a clamping fixture for receiving a semiconductor wafer and also contact needles, which are arranged opposite the free surface of the semiconductor wafer. The contacting of the contact tips initially requires a horizontal positioning of the semiconductor wafer, so that the contact area and the contact tip are one above the other and at a distance from each other, and subsequently moving vertically in the direction of the contact tip, until a contact of the contact tips with the contact area is established. The object is achieved by the vertical movement of the semiconductor wafer until the end position is reached being directly observed in a horizontal direction of observation and, for this purpose, an observation device is arranged in such a way that the observation axis runs in the spacing above the free wafer surface.

    摘要: A wafer probe station is provided with a wafer chuck, a wafer fastened on the chuck by vacuum suction, and a probe needle arrangement above the wafer to test the wafer at high frequencies by contacting selected pads on the wafer and alternately pads on a calibration substrate also fastened on the wafer chuck. A procedure for reproduction of a calibration position of an aligned and afterwards displaced calibration substrate uses first and second measurement systems to calculate a new offset position of the calibration substrate after a second wafer is loaded on the wafer chuck. In a last step, the wafer chuck is driven by a 4axis manipulator stage to the new calibration position from the recent position.

    摘要: A probe holder in which the probe needle has a slight horizontal offset under the action of a vertical force, includes a probe holder for a probe needle, wherein the holder is adapted, for fastening and electrical contact-connection, on a carrier device of a test apparatus and has a holder arm having a needle holder at the free end thereof to fasten the probe needle, and a fastening arm for connecting the probe holder to the carrier device. The holder arm and the fastening arm are connected to one another by an articulated joint, whereby horizontal offset of the needle tip on account of external forces can be reduced or even prevented by increasing the radius of the yielding movement of the probe needle.

    摘要: A micromanipulator for moving a probe comprises two elements which are mechanically connected to one another in such a way that one element can be moved relative to other element. The movement of the element occurs as a result of the pressure change of a fluid which acts upon an actuator which is in mechanical contact to a mobile element or to an element moving on a surface segment.
