Abstract

A wafer probe comprises a support member having an end region which is shaped to permit the end region to be brought into close proximity with a component under test. An amplifier is mounted on the support member at its end region. A conductive probe element is attached to the amplifier and is electrically connected to the amplifier's input terminal. A transmission line is connected to the amplifier's output terminal for transmitting signals from the amplifier to a measurement instrument.
