Abstract

An apparatus for testing semiconductor devices including probe tips for contacting input/output pads on the device attached to a probe membrane fixed to a package using a layer of elastomeric material. The elastomeric material and use of compliant bump probe tips effect a global planarization for improved electrical contact between the probe assembly and the input/output contacts on the device under test.
