Abstract

A modular probe card assembly comprises a silicon substrate with probes modularly assembled on a main board. At least a socket is installed around silicon substrate and electrically connects to probe needles by a flexible printed wiring film. A plurality of detachable coaxial wires electrically connect sockets with the main board for achieving variability of connecting paths during manufacturing. Thus, the probe card assembly has the effect of adjustable amendment and is suitable for high speed testing.
