  • Publication number: 20220043027
    Abstract: A probe module includes a circuit board and at least one probe formed on a probe installation surface of the circuit board by a microelectromechanical manufacturing process and including a probe body and a probe tip. The probe body includes first and second end portions and a longitudinal portion having first and second surfaces facing toward opposite first and second directions. The probe tip extends from the probe body toward the first direction and is processed with a gradually narrowing shape by laser cutting. The first and/or second end portion has a supporting seat protruding from the second surface toward the second direction and connected to the probe installation surface, such that the longitudinal portion and the probe tip are suspended above the probe installation surface. The probe has a tiny pinpoint for detecting tiny electronic components, and its manufacturing method is time-saving and high in yield rate.
