Probe card for high-frequency applications
Abstract:
A probe card for a testing apparatus of electronic devices comprises a testing head, which houses a plurality of contact elements extending along a longitudinal axis (H-H) between a first end portion and a second end portion, a support plate, onto which the first end portion is adapted to abut, and a flexible membrane which comprises a first face and a second and opposite face. Conveniently, the first portion of the flexible membrane is arranged on at least one support and comprises a plurality of strips extending between a proximal end and a distal end, the probe card further including a plurality of micro contact probes comprising a body extending along the longitudinal axis (H-H) between a first end portion and a second end portion, the second end portion of each contact element abutting onto the first face of the flexible membrane at the distal end of a respective strip, and the first end portion of each micro contact probe abutting onto the second face of the flexible membrane at a respective contact element, the flexible membrane being electrically connected to the support plate through a second portion thereof, the second end portion of the micro contact probes being apt to contact the contact pads of a device to be tested, wherein the at least one support is provided with a plurality of guide holes for the housing of the plurality of micro contact probes.
