Abstract

A probing card is disclosed which checks the electrical characteristic of a plurality of electrical elements (for example, IC chips) by contacting probes with electrode pads of the IC chips formed on an object (for example, a wafer) to be checked. The probe has a prismatic projection provided on a substrate, a spacer fixed to a top end face of the prismatic projection, a volute-like plate having one end fixed to the spacer and having an elasticity and a probe pin fixed to the other end of the volute-like plate. The other end side of the volute-like plate is formed as a free end.
