PURPOSE: A probe needle for a probe card is provided to prevent a relatively small quantity of marks of a probe needle from being left in a direction that the probe needle slides in an EDS(electrical die sorting) process by making a contact end of the probe needle have an angle not greater than 90 degrees with respect to the main body of the probe needle. CONSTITUTION: The probe needle(10) has the main body coupled to the probe card and the contact end(20) coupled to a pad(210) on a semiconductor wafer(200) such that the contact end is extended from the end of the main body. The contact end is bent at an angle not greater than 90 degrees with respect to the main body.

PURPOSE: A probe card for tester head is provided to measure rapidly an electrical parameter of each chip formed on the semiconductor substrate by increasing the number of probe. CONSTITUTION: A plurality of connection portions(121) are arranged on a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is divided into four sections(120a,120b,120c,120d). The connections portions(121) are arranged on each edge portion of the sections(120a,120b,120c,120d). A stiffener fixing hole(210) is formed between an upper plate and a printed circuit board in order to receive a fixing portion projected from a stiffener. A card holder hole(220) is used for fixing the printed circuit board to a card holder. A fixing pin projected from the card holder is inserted into the card holder hole(220). A guide pin hole(230) is used for receiving a guide pin projected from the card holder.
Abstract:
A wafer test method using a probe card is provided to minimize the number of inspections by easily supplying a one-shot inspection region and an inspection method. The entire area of a wafer is mapped to form a map(S100). The maximum value of a one-shot inspection region(para) of a probe card is set(S200). A plurality of inspection blocks which are not more than the maximum value of the one-shot inspection region are set(S300). Each inspection block sequentially and respectively inspects a partial region of the map, transferring from the outer part of the map to the inside of the map(S400). With respect to each inspection block, the number of inspections is calculated to inspect every region of the map corresponding to a region of a plurality of semiconductor chip on the wafer by a minimum number of inspections(S500). The calculated numbers of inspections are compared to calculate a minimum number of inspections(S600). A one-shot inspection region and an inspection transfer direction of the probe card are determined to correspond to the calculated minimum number of inspections(S700). A plurality of semiconductor chips formed on the wafer are inspected by using the probe card whose one-shot inspection region and inspection transfer direction are determined(S800). The para of the probe card can have one of 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512.

Abstract:
A multi probe card unit and probe test device is provided to increase inspection capacity of the EDS process conspicuously by testing a plurality of wafer at the same time. In a probe test apparatus, a probe(110) contacted with the chip pad of the formed on a wafer is included in a first probe card and a second probe card. The connection unit electrically connects a plurality of probe cards is included in. A multi-prop card unit(100) includes a connection unit electrically connecting a plurality of probe cards.

Abstract:
Substrate test probing equipment having a force-receiving pattern in a probe card and a forcing part in a test head and usage methods thereof are provided to restrict thermal expansion of a probe card forcibly by contacting the force-receiving pattern to the forcing part and then applying physical force to the force-receiving pattern by the forcing part. In substrate test probing equipment(112), a substrate mover(108) has an upper side. A test head(30) has a resisting plate(RP) positioned on the substrate mover and a forcing part(FP) facing the substrate mover to contact with the resisting plate and extend from the resisting plate. A probe card is disposed between the test head and the substrate mover. In the probe card, a circuit board has upper and lower sides. A force-receiving plate has a force-receiving pattern recessed or protruded to be disposed on the upper side of the circuit plate. The force-receiving plate is fixed on the upper side of the circuit plate to penetrate through the upper and lower sides of the circuit plate. A pin supporting plate is disposed at the lower side of the circuit plate, surrounded by the force-receiving plate, and electrically connected to the circuit plate. An information processing unit(104) is electrically coupled with the probe card, the test head, and the substrate mover. The force-receiving plate corresponds to the resisting plate. The force-receiving pattern contacts with the forcing part. The forcing part applies physical force to the force-receiving pattern.
