Abstract :
Recent trends in the semiconductor industry such as the widespread use of C4, ever increasing demands for testing more chips in parallel, and faster edge rates, have conspired to present major challenges to currently available probe card technologies. This paper describes a new probe card technology, its characteristics, and how it successfully addresses these challenges
