Patent number: 9408293Abstract: The invention relates to a printed circuit board structure, which comprises a first body, a second body and a sleeve. The sleeve is arranged between and connected with the first body and the second body so as to generate a differential height between the first body and the second body. Via the differential height are solved the problems of insufficient probe stiffness and poor wafer-sort quality, which is caused by decreasing the probe diameter to adapt to miniaturized chips.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2015Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: HERMES-EPITEK CORP.Inventor: Chien-Yao Hung

Patent number: 9279853Abstract: A test probe card structure includes a probe card and a connection circuit common plate. The probe card includes a probe substrate, A test circuit board is disposed between the probe substrate and the connection circuit common plate, The test circuit board has a lest circuit connection section attached to and electrically connected with a common circuit adaptation section of the connection circuit common plate. A circuit extension section is formed around the connection circuit common plate, which is all-channel electrically connectable between a tester and the teat circuit connection section. The connection circuit common plate serves to provide an all-channel test circuit convergence connection ability for the test circuit board so as to greatly minify the size of the test circuit board and lower the manufacturing cost of the probe card.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2014Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: Hermes-Epitek Corp.Inventors: Chien-Yao Hung, Chih-Yao Chen
