    摘要: A probe card includes a space transformer, a printed circuit board and a plurality of welding elements. The space transformer is disposed with a plurality of first conductive protrusions. Each of the first conductive protrusions has a first end surface. The printed circuit board is disposed with a plurality of second conductive protrusions. Each of the second conductive protrusions has a second end surface. The welding elements are respectively and electrically connected between each of the second end surfaces and the corresponding first end surface. A first surface of the space transformer away from the printed circuit board has a first degree of flatness. A second surface of the printed circuit board away from the space transformer has a second degree of flatness. The first degree of flatness is less than the second degree of flatness.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present utilize a specialized modular load board in combination with previously-tested daughter boards to yield a final design for generating a new printed circuit board (PCB) for testing. Since the electrical characteristics of the daughter board are already known by the client and well established during previous testing procedures, similar test programs can be used for production-level testing that were used in client prototyping processes that involved the use of the previously-tested daughter board. Thus, embodiments of the present disclosure can use the features of the specialized modular load board and a client's tested daughter board to develop more reliable, production-ready circuits.

    摘要: A wafer inspection method whereby inspection accuracy and operation efficiency is improved. A method for performing electrical inspection by bringing, at one time, a plurality of probes into contact with a plurality of pads in chips on a wafer. A chuck step S1 for heating the wafer to an inspection temperature; a first position recognition step S2 for recognizing all the positions of the pads of the chips; a second position recognition step S3 for re-recognizing, before performing the electrical inspection, the position of the pads for the purpose of recognizing the positional shifts of the pads due to thermal expansion when the wafer chuck is heated; and a correction step S4 for correcting contact positions with respect to the probes, the contact positions being corrected on the basis of pad positions, which have been re-recognized in the second position recognition step S3 on the basis of the pad positions recognized in the first position recognition step S2, and which have been updated.

    摘要: A probe device includes an electrode plate arranged above a mounting table for mounting thereon a semiconductor wafer and electrically connected to a tester, a contact probe arranged at a side of the mounting table and electrically connected to a mounting table electrode of the mounting table. The contact probe includes a contact portion, having a top surface formed uneven, to be in contact with the electrode plate, and a cable connection portion formed as one unit with the contact portion. The contact portion and the cable connection portion are vertically movable by a biasing member provided below the cable connection portion. When the probes are made contact with electrodes of a semiconductor device of the semiconductor wafer by moving up the mounting table, the contact portion and the electrode plate are made contact with each other and the backside electrode and the tester are electrically connected to each other.
