Abstract

A probe guide plate used for a semiconductor inspection apparatus that inputs and outputs an electrical signal for inspecting an object via a probe needle, the probe guide plate includes a silicon substrate provided with a through hole that penetrates the silicon substrate from one surface to another surface through which the probe needle is inserted, the through hole including a first tapered portion provided at an end portion at the one surface side such that the hole size of which increases as it approaches the one surface, and a second tapered portion provided at an end portion at the other surface side such that the hole size of which increases as it approaches the other surface; and a silicon oxide film formed on an inner wall surface of the through hole including the first tapered portion and the second tapered portion.
