Abstract: A ceramic substrate has, on its surface, a multilayer wiring division, on which micro cantilever type probes are fixed. The multilayer wiring division has the first conductor layer, which includes through-hole junction pads, flatness improvement rings surrounding the through-hole junction pads and a grounding region further surrounding the flatness improvement rings. Since the flatness improvement rings are located around the through-hole junction pads, the surface of the first insulating layer, which is located above the first conductor layer, is free from severe undulation even near the through-hole junction pads. Accordingly, the multilayer wiring division has less irregularity in shape as a whole, and thus the probe mounting pads on the surface of the second insulating layer do not slope but keep almost horizontal. The probe unit substrate according to the invention has an advantage of less surface undulation and having non-sloping probe mounting pads without using a complicated manufacturing process.

Abstract: A multilayer wiring board has a ceramic substrate, on which a multilayer wiring section is formed. One of the conductor layers has a grounded pattern. Each of the conductor layers has a reference pattern, which is usable as a standard in calculation of an electric capacitance. An electric capacitance is measured between the grounded pattern and the three-dimensional wiring path. On the other hand, a theoretical electrical capacitance is calculated on the basis of a reference value of electric capacitance which has been measured between the reference pattern and the grounded pattern. The measured value for the wiring path is compared to the calculated value to determine whether the three-dimensional wiring path is good or bad. As the multilayer wiring section has the reference patterns, the electric capacitance for the normal wiring path can be obtained by calculation without preparing the normal acceptable product.
