  • Patent number: 11879912
    Abstract: A cantilever probe card and a carrier thereof are provided. The carrier includes a seat, a metal sheet, and a plurality of coarse adjustment members. The metal sheet is assembled to the seat and has a carrying surface. The coarse adjustment members are spaced apart from each other and are disposed between the seat and the metal sheet. Each of the coarse adjustment members is configured to be independently operable along a testing direction for changing a distance between the carrying surface and the seat. The carrying surface has a plurality of assembling regions spaced apart from each other, and at least two of the assembling regions have an assembling tolerance therebetween along the testing direction. The metal sheet of the carrier is deformable through at least one of the coarse adjustment members so as to reduce the assembling tolerance along the testing direction.

  • Publication number: 20230349953
    Abstract: A cantilever probe card and a probe module thereof are provided. The probe module includes a supporting board, a substrate disposed on the supporting board, a plurality of cantilever probes, and a plurality of fine adjustment members. The substrate has a non-planar shape and has a difference of warpage along a testing direction. One end of each of the cantilever probes is connected to the substrate, and another end of each of the cantilever probes is a free end. The fine adjustment members are spaced apart from each other and are disposed between the supporting board and the substrate. Each of the fine adjustment members is configured to be independently operable along the testing direction for changing a distance between the supporting board and the substrate. The substrate is deformable through at least one of the fine adjustment members so as to reduce the difference of warpage.

  • Publication number: 20230314477
    Abstract: A vertical probe card having different probes is provided, and includes a first guiding board unit, a second guiding board unit, and a plurality of fence-like probes passing through the first and the second guiding board units. Each of the fence-like probes has a probe length within a range from 5 mm to 8 mm, and includes a fence-like segment, a connection segment, and a testing segment. The fence-like segment includes a penetrating slot having a length greater than 65% of the probe length. The fence-like segment includes two arms respectively arranged at two opposite sides of the penetrating slot and spaced apart from each other by an adjustment distance within a range from 10 ?m to 120 ?m. The fence-like probes include a first probe and a second probe, which have a same contact force and are configured to respectively meet different electrical transmission requirements.
