Abstract

The invention relates to a metal-silicon composite cantilever beam typed micron-electronic mechanical system probing card and a preparation method thereof; an ultraviolet thick film photolithography and bulk silicon micro-processing composite process is adopted to prepare a metal-silicon composite cantilever beam probing card structure, thus replacing an existing probing card structure consisting of single silicon or metal. The ultraviolet thick film photolithography process is used for preparing the metal probe with high depth / width ratio and metal circuit transmission wires below the probes, and the bulk silicon micro-processing composite process is used to prepare the silicon cantilever beam structure. The force during the testing process is commonly borne by the silicon cantilever beam and the metal circuit above the silicon cantilever beam; the electric and mechanical property of the probing card structure is controlled by adjusting the geometrical parameters of the metal circuit leads and the silicon cantilever beam; the probes above the probing card can be arranged by the positions of the pins of the chip to be tested; the probe tips are corresponding to the position of the pins of the chip one by one. The end of the metal circuit transmission wire leads the circuit to be connected on the back surface by a through hole electro-plating or wire punching type on a silicon substrate and leads the circuits to be connected onto printing circuit boards and test machine platforms further.
