  • Patent number: 7786741
    Abstract: The invention relates to a contact arrangement for a measuring probe or a measuring head for measuring high frequency, especially on a semiconductor wafer. The arrangement comprises a contact end for electrically contacting planar structures. A coplanar conductor structure having at lease two conductors carried by a dielectric is provided at the contact end. Between the dielectric and the contact end, the measuring tip is configured in such a manner that the conductors of the coplanar conductor structure are disposed in mid-air and in a resilient manner in relation to the dielectric retaining them. The invention is characterized in that the dielectric is provided with at least one arrangement for transmitting electrical signals, the arrangement being electrically connected to at least one conductor of the conductor structure in such a manner that the arrangement transmits signals from the at least one conductor that is electrically connected to the arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20040066181
    Abstract: The invention relates to a high frequency probe tip, particularly for printed circuit boards and/or HF cables, having a connecting end (10) to which a measuring cable may be connected for linking to a measuring device, with an earth contact (16) and a measuring tip (12), on which at least one signal contact (14) is formed, whereby a coaxial conductor (18) with an earth conductor arrangement (20) and at least one signal conductor (22) surrounded by a dielectric (24) connects the connecting end (10) to the measuring tip (12). Starting from the measuring tip (12), the earth conductor arrangement (20) is so designed over a predetermined region (30) of the high frequency probe tip that at least one of the signal conductors (22) is displaceable within the earth conductor arrangement (20) together with the dielectric (24) surrounding said signal conductor.
