Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of probe cards, in particular to a multi-layer probe ceramic ring for processing probe cards. Background Art

[0002] The probe card is the interface between the chip under test and the tester in wafer testing. It is mainly used to make preliminary measurements of the chip's electrical performance before chip segmentation and packaging, and to screen out defective chips before proceeding with the subsequent packaging process. Ceramic rings are important components of probe cards. The amount used directly affects the production cost and structural performance of the product. Ceramic rings are the connecting component between epoxy resin and PCB board. The precise size determines the height, stability and finished product control of the product.

[0003] The original ceramic ring is designed to be bonded with epoxy resin on a flat surface. For probe cards with large layer differences, too much epoxy resin is required. Since epoxy resin is in a sol state, it is not conducive to shape forming. During the coating process, it cannot be accumulated into the required size at one time, and multiple coatings are required to ensure consistent layer differences.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a multi-layer probe ceramic ring for probe card processing to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Utility Model Content
