  • Method of making contact probe
    Patent number: 9134346
    Abstract: A method of making a contact probe including a step of making a first printed wiring board having a signal electrode and a ground electrode used as a contact part of the contact probe with respect to a measuring object, in which the signal electrode and ground electrode are formed of a metal wiring pattern, and making a second printed wiring board with a coaxial line structure having a shield electrode which encloses a signal line and the surroundings of the signal line through an insulating layer. The signal electrode of the first printed wiring board and the signal line of the second printed wiring board are electrically connected together, and the ground electrode of the first printed wiring board and the shield electrode of the second printed wiring board are electrically connected together.

  • METHOD OF MAKING CONTACT PROBE
    Publication number: 20110247209
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a contact probe which can easily be connected with a measurement apparatus electrically, can measure a high speed and high frequency signal with a fine pitch easily and correctly, and can easily cope with signal measurement for a plurality of channels, and a method of making the contact probe. [Means to Solve Problem] It includes a first printed wiring board 3 having a signal electrode 10a and a ground electrode 10b used as a contact part with respect to a measuring object, in which the signal electrode 10a and ground electrode 10b are formed of a metal wiring pattern on a substrate, and a second printed wiring board 2 with a coaxial line structure having shield electrodes 12, 17, 18 which enclose a signal line 15a and the surroundings of the signal line 15a through an insulating layer.
