Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a probe card, and particularly relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing a probe card. 5 [Prior Art] In the integrated circuit wafer test, the probe card circuit board for transmitting the test signal is touched by the test head of the test machine to receive the test signal of the test machine and transmitted to the bottom of the circuit board. A densely packed probe at the center. After the probe electronic components corresponding to the probes receive the test signal, the corresponding electrical characteristics are transmitted back to the test machine through the 10 probe card for analysis, so that the probe is used throughout the wafer level test. The circuit design of the circuit board of the card board has a very important influence on the test results of the electronic components. Especially with the higher speed operation of the electronic technology, the test process needs to operate in the actual corresponding high-speed operating conditions, so the production of the transmission line is more necessary. 15 operating strips that meet high-speed signals. In the first figure, the "semiconductor probe card for low current measurement" provided by U.S. Patent No. 5,847,475, the probe cassette structure is divided into an upper contact circuit board 10 and a probe underneath. The board 12 and the towel_the plurality of spacers 14 are provided with a measuring circuit 11 of the coaxial transmission line structure on the contact circuit board to avoid the leakage current caused by the parasitic resistance generated by the medium environment contacting the circuit board 1 itself. . However, since the contact circuit board 1 is directly used by the test head of the test machine, the probe card 12 is provided with the probe 13, and if the contact circuit board 1G or the probe board n itself has no foot support strength and 疋The thickness of the rigid body 'g, 贞(4) machine 丨, under pressure and stress applied to the entire 200940996 probe card 1 structure, the force plane contacting the circuit board 10 and the probe card 12 is easy to be uneven due to the material force The contact between the contact circuit board 1G or the probe card 12 causes a problem of deformation, and when the probes 13 touch the wafer plane, the front end of the individual probe card 12 is constantly subjected to the reaction force generated from the wafer plane. Under the action of long time stress, the planar structure of the probe plate 12 at the front end of the probe plate 13 is also prone to deformation. Even though the other probe card 2 structure can be used as shown in the first figure, the signal transmission process is performed from the outside to the inside and from the top to the bottom through the line 21 disposed on the multilayer printed circuit board 20. The stacked circuit board 2〇 is then sent out by the probe 22, so that the overall structural strength of the circuit board 20 and its single force plane can disperse the force evenly when subjected to stress, without local uneven force generation. The problem of deformation. However, the multilayer printed circuit board 2 is made of a plurality of layers of glass fiber material or ceramic material, and each layer structure is provided with a metal wire to form the structure of the line 21, so that the cost and the man-hour are not only required to be manufactured, but also When the transmission line 21 is disposed inside the circuit board ©, the material of the circuit board 20 disposed between the adjacent lines 21 is extremely likely to cause a main cause of leakage current, and the via hole line 210 which is formed by the structure of each layer of the circuit board 10 is easy to be used. The energy loss of the interface reflection occurs when the signal is transmitted longitudinally. This seriously affects the transmission characteristics of the south frequency signal, and cannot meet the south speed test requirements of the electronic circuit 2 component. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a probe card. The probe card manufactured according to the present invention can maintain the impedance of the high-frequency signal transmission 200940996 matching characteristic and has the best electrical test. quality. To achieve the above, the method for manufacturing the probe card provided by the present invention is to prepare a circuit board having a plurality of circuit layers, and then recessing the circuit layers to form an alcove at the periphery of the circuit board. A plurality of 5 pads and a plurality of probes are respectively disposed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the circuit board, and then a plurality of transmission lines are prepared, and one end of each of the transmission lines is inserted into the concave chamber to be electrically connected thereto. The other end is passed out of the cavity and one of the probes is electrically connected. 〃 Therefore, when the high-frequency signal penetrates into the circuit board, the transmission line can jump to the pre-clamped position to maintain the high-frequency signal at a specific spacing required for the characteristic impedance to maintain the transmission process of the high-frequency signal on the circuit board. It has the characteristics of impedance matching. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The following is a detailed description of the structure and function of the present invention.

The circuit board 200940996 30 ° b. The circuit layer 302 is recessed on the periphery of the circuit board 30 by etching (may also be mechanically processed) to form a downwardly open recess 3 〇 4 ′ so that the thickness of the recess 304 is equivalent The total thickness of the circuit layers 3〇2 is subtracted from the thickness of a 5-layer circuit layer 302. That is, the circuit board 3 has only a layer circuit layer 302'' disposed above the recess 3〇4 and is disposed on the circuit layer 3. 2. Etching a slot 307 that connects the recesses 3〇4〇. Then, a reinforcing member 306 is disposed on the peripheral wall of the recessed chamber 3〇4 for increasing the structural strength of the circuit layer 3〇2 recessed above 304, and opening the connecting slot 3〇7 with the reinforcing member 306. Hole 3〇8. Then, a colloid 309' is refilled to strengthen the circuit layer structure of the peripheral wall of the recessed chamber 3〇4. Wherein, the reinforcing member 306 and the colloid 309 are not necessarily disposed at the same time, and the colloid 3 〇 9 can be directly poured into the peripheral wall of the concave chamber 304 without providing the reinforcing member 3〇6. c. Knife and other sets of a plurality of pads 31, 32 on the circuit board such as the upper surface of the outer surface and the upper and lower surfaces of the inner wall, and placed on the inner circumference of the circuit board 3 (), between the table ❹b Φ The majority of the signal circuit 33 and the plurality of grounding circuits 34 cause the fresh chips 31 to be used by a test head (not shown) of the test machine (not shown) to make the pads 32 electrically The connection signal circuit 33 and the grounding circuit are further provided with a plurality of probes 35 on the lower surface of the soldering pad 32 in the circuit board 3G, and are connected to the signal circuit 33 to be electrically connected to the circuit 34 for electrical contact. Integrated circuit wafer (not shown). - e. Prepare a majority of the transmission line %, and extend the % ❺ end of each transmission line into the recess 304 for the electric locomotive to connect the poor black-fi-reduction pad, and transfer the other secret of each transmission line 36. After passing through the recess 304 by the slot 307, the fresh shovel 32' connected to the upper surface of the circuit board 20200940996 is used to electrically connect one of the probes 35. 31 ^ After the high-level test of the upper surface of the 3G on the top of the Weitai contact, the high-frequency test signal received by each soldering I Ή ^ is transmitted through the transmission line 36 5 = the probe % to the lower surface of the board 3 In addition to avoiding the high-frequency test signal transfer to the lateral transfer of the transition interface, the signal loss caused by the discontinuous transmission "surface reflection phenomenon, can also make the high-frequency test © § No. The path 3 of the upper surface transmitted to the lower surface of the circuit board 30 maintains the required characteristic impedance. The probe card 3 manufactured according to the method of the present embodiment is mainly electrically connected to the pad 31 on the upper surface of the circuit board 30 and the probe 35 on the lower surface of the circuit board 30 by the transmission line 36, respectively.
