  • Publication number: 20210389370
    Abstract: A probe card includes a circuit board, a fixing member, and a plurality of probes. The fixing member is fixed on the circuit board and has a through opening therein. The fixing member has opposite first and second sidewalls defining the through opening. Each of the probes includes an arm portion and a tip portion. One end of the arm portion is connected to the circuit board. The tip portion extends from the arm portion. The arm portions of the probes extend in substantially a same direction inclined to a direction perpendicular to the first sidewall of the fixing member in a top view.

  • Patent number: 11105848
    Abstract: A probe card includes a circuit board having a through opening therein. A fixing member is at least partially in the through opening of the circuit board and has a through opening therein. The through opening of the fixing member is defined at least partially by opposite first and second sidewalls of the fixing member. A plurality of probes each includes an arm portion and a tip portion. One end of the arm portion is connected to the circuit board. The arm portion extends through the first sidewall of the fixing member into the through opening of the fixing member. The arm portion is angled with respect to a direction perpendicular to the first sidewall of the fixing member when viewed from above. The tip portion extends from the arm portion. The second sidewall of the fixing member is free of probes.

  • Patent number: 10670654
    Abstract: A probe card, a wafer testing system and a wafer testing method are provided. The wafer testing system includes a wafer holder and a probe card. A wafer is held on the wafer holder, and testing pads are formed on the wafer, in which the testing pads are arranged along a test straight line. The probe card includes probes each of which includes an arm portion and a tip portion. An included angle between the test straight line and an extension of a projection line of the arm portion onto the wafer ranges from about 40 degrees to about 55 degrees.
