    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a multi-layer for a probe card comprises providing first contact pads on an exposed face of a first dielectric layer and second contact pads on an exposed face of a last dielectric layer. Each dielectric layer is laser ablated to realize pass-through structures and the pass-through structures are conductively filled to realize conductive structures. The dielectric layers are superimposed in a way that each conductive structure contacts a corresponding conductive structure of a contiguous dielectric layer in the multi-layer and forms conductive paths electrically connected the first and second contact pads. The second contact pads having a greater distance between its symmetry centers than the first contact pads, the multi-layer thus performing a spatial transformation between the first and second contact pads connected through the connective paths.

    CPC classification number: G01R1/07342 G01R3/00

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a probe head for the functionality testing of devices under test (DUT) is disclosed. The method includes providing a containment element, arranging a lower guide at a lower face of the containment element which faces toward the devices under test during the test, and arranging an upper guide at an upper face of the containment element. The containment element is interposed between the lower and upper guides which are initially in the shape of a single plate connected to the containment element. The method further includes cutting the lower and/or upper guide thereby defining a plurality of guide portions that are independent and separated from each other, and inserting a plurality of contact elements into respective guide holes formed in the guides. The contact elements are adapted to contact pads of the devices under test. A probe head obtained by the method is also disclosed.
