Abstract:
A wafer inspection system includes a supporting device having electrically connected supporting and contact portions for supporting a wafer's back, and a probe device having a probe and elastic contact members. When a probe tip of the probe contacts the wafer's front, a contact tip of the elastic contact member is abutted against a contact surface of the contact portion. The contact tip is higher than the probe tip. The contact surface is higher than the wafer's front. Alternatively, the contact surface having a radius larger than or equal to twice the wafer's radius. The horizontal distance between the probe tip and the contact tip is larger than or equal to twice the wafer's radius. This satisfies the test requirement of short-pulse test signal and prevents the structural design and transmitting stability of the elastic contact members from being affected by the inspection temperature.
