Multi-offset Die Head for Probe Alignment

The die head is segmented into multiple layers (first die head layer, second die head layer, third die head layer) with different offset arrays. Each layer contains micro-holes with specific offsets relative to the pad array, allowing probes to be positioned at multiple different offsets simultaneously. This segmentation enables precise alignment of probe heads with space transformer pads while maintaining a manageable structural complexity through systematic organization of the segmented layers.

The invention introduces a vertical dimension by stacking multiple die head layers with different offset configurations. Instead of varying offsets in a single plane, the offsets are distributed across multiple vertical layers, each with its own micro-hole array. This dimensional transition from 2D to 3D space allows multiple offset values to coexist without increasing planar complexity, thereby improving alignment accuracy while controlling device complexity.

The die head structure is divided into multiple layers, each with its own array of micro-holes at specific offsets. This segmentation allows each layer to be optimized independently for both assembly ease and alignment precision. The micro-holes in each layer can be sized appropriately for assembly while the offset arrangement ensures precise probe head positioning, resolving the contradiction between assembly ease and alignment accuracy.

The multiple offset arrays across different layers act as intermediaries that mediate between the pad array and the probe tips. These intermediate offset structures allow the probe heads to be positioned with high precision relative to the pads while the overall structure maintains ease of assembly through systematic hole arrangements. The intermediary offset arrays compensate for any misalignment tendencies.

By distributing different offset values across multiple vertical layers rather than attempting to accommodate all offsets in a single plane, the invention achieves precise probe head alignment even with tight pitch pads. The vertical stacking allows multiple offset configurations to coexist without increasing planar density, thereby maintaining alignment precision while enabling higher chip throughput.

The die head is segmented into multiple layers with distinct offset arrays, allowing each layer to be optimized for specific alignment requirements. This segmentation enables precise control of probe head positions relative to tight pitch pads while maintaining the ability to probe multiple chips simultaneously, thus improving productivity without sacrificing alignment precision.

The die head is segmented into multiple layers with different offset arrays, creating a more complex structure that inherently compensates for misalignment. This segmented design with multiple offset configurations reduces the frequency of maintenance by maintaining better alignment between probe heads and pads, thereby improving ease of repair despite the increased structural complexity.

The vertical stacking of multiple offset arrays provides inherent misalignment compensation that reduces maintenance needs. By distributing offsets across vertical layers, the structure maintains robust alignment even under varying conditions, reducing the frequency of manual adjustment and maintenance while accepting the trade-off of increased device complexity.
