Description
The present invention relates to a probe card manufacturing method and a probe card having the probe card manufactured thereby, and more particularly, to a probe card manufacturing method that simplifies the manufacturing process of the probe and reduces the manufacturing cost, It is possible to reduce the possibility of damaging the end of the wafer or the probe when the wafer and the probe are in contact with each other and to increase the recognition rate by widening the contact area between the end of the probe and the wafer and to easily remove the attachment And prolonging the life of the probe, and a probe card having the probe manufactured thereby.
Semiconductor chips manufactured in the state of a wafer are subjected to electrical die sorting (EDS) inspection to check their electrical characteristics before they are assembled into a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a semiconductor package. According to the result of the EDS inspection, the good semiconductor chip is assembled into a liquid crystal display element or a semiconductor package, and the defective semiconductor chip is discarded without being assembled.
Such an EDS test is performed using a probe equipped with a probe in which a computer can be electrically contacted with a tester having various measuring instruments and a semiconductor chip to be inspected.
The probe card is used as an intermediate medium for connecting the pads of the unit semiconductor chips of the wafer and the tester to inspect the characteristics of the fine patterns and electrodes of the semiconductor chips on the wafer. By moving in the X, Y, and Z axes, the probe is tested by touching each probe installed on the probe card at a specified point in the wafer.
Such a probe is manufactured by preparing a mold for a probe through etching on a wafer, preparing a mold for a probe using a polymer material or the like, filling the mold by a plating process, forming a fin, and then removing the mold material. Method.
Such a conventional probe manufacturing method has a problem in that the manufacturing cost is increased due to a long manufacturing process time, the end of the probe is formed sharply and the end of the wafer or the probe is damaged or the contact resistance is increased when the wafer is in contact with the probe, There was a possibility that it would be lowered.
Thus, for example, in "Probe and probe card manufacturing method" disclosed in Patent Document 1, a technique for reducing the manufacturing cost by reducing the manufacturing process time is disclosed.
However, even in the case of Patent Document 1, the manufacturing cost is not reduced as much as expected, and the life of the probe card can be shortened.
