Abstract: A probe card, a method for designing the probe card, a method for producing a tested semiconductor device, a method for testing an unpackaged semiconductor by the probe card, a device under test, and a probe system are provided. The probe card includes a wiring substrate, a connection carrier board, and a probe device. At least two probes form a differential pair electrically connected to a loopback line of the connection carrier board to form a test signal loopback path. The probe device has a probe device impedance on the test signal loopback path. The loopback line has a loopback line impedance on the test signal loopback path. A difference between the probe device impedance on the test signal loopback path and the loopback line impedance on the test signal loopback path is in an impedance range.

Abstract: A vertical probe head includes upper and lower die units having upper and lower through holes, and probes each including a body portion between the die units, tail and head portion installation parts in the upper and lower through holes respectively, and a head portion contact part for electrically contacting a device under test. The probes include a pair of signal probes including at least one distinctive probe, for which, the body portion is smaller in width than the head portion installation part, and a body portion center line is deviated from a head portion installation part center line toward the probe paired thereto. For the paired probes, a head portion contact part pitch is larger than a body portion pitch for matching a large-pitch high-speed differential pair of the device under test, great impedance matching effect, and consistent contact force and stable elasticity of the probes in operation.

Abstract: An adjustable probe device includes fixed and movable probes, at least one of which is a signal probe having a coaxial structure. The movable probe is linearly slidable with a ground unit thereof abutted against a ground unit of the fixed probe. Another adjustable probe device includes a first movable probe for being grounded, and fixed and second movable probes both having a coaxial structure. Any of the two movable probes is selectable to be a functioning probe in a way that the contact ends of the functioning and fixed probes are located on a same plane for contacting two pads of a DUT at the same time, and the functioning probe is linearly slidable with a ground unit thereof abutted against a ground unit of the fixed probe. As a result, the probe interval is adjustable, lowering the cost of the impedance testing apparatus for circuit boards.
