Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a high-frequency vertical probe card structure, and more particularly to a structure in which a probe body is surrounded by a conductive material and air (or vacuum) and supported by an insulating material. [Prior Art] In recent years, wafers containing integrated circuits have become more and more complicated, and with the popularity of spring applications, the number of wafers used is quite large, often in the millions or tens of millions of companies. In order to ensure the wafer (4) gas f, (5) before the package is first • wafer level measurement to avoid wasting package resources. The general wafer level measurement system uses a k-pin card (pr〇be card) 'use the probe card probe to contact the test point of the wafer, such as the soldering plate 'strong (four) card's circuit board will be electrical (four) continuous test machine (Tester The 'output signal of the job number to the wafer or the receiving chip' is used to measure the electrical characteristics of the wafer, while rejecting the defective wafer and screening out the qualified day-to-day film to order the subsequent packaging process. The mature commercial probe card has a cantilever probe ((10) u· probe) and a mosquito probe card (Vert — with c (4). 〃 See the schematic of the “®” (4) technology spring vertical probe card structure. The spring probe card structure of the conventional technology includes a circuit board fixing module 2 and a probe 3 'where the probe 3 has a probe tip 4 for contacting a test point of a wafer (not shown), a probe The 3 series is electrically connected to the circuit board, and the circuit board i is further connected to an external test machine (not shown). Therefore, the external test machine can electrically measure the wafer by detecting the '13 conductive power. 2 Provides the function of fixing the 201111790 probe 3' to strengthen the mechanical strength and operational stability of the probe 3, and avoid damage when the probe 3 contacts the position of the wafer. In addition, the probe 3 is exposed to the external force of the test point. It can be buffered by the money that is connected to the probe 3, which is not shown. It is ensured that the force applied by the probe 3 to the test point is not too large and the test point is crushed. A disadvantage of the conventional technique is that the rest of the probe 3 except the probe tip 4 is considerably larger than that exposed to the air', causing high frequency electrical money to be susceptible to external noise interference and will change when transmitted through the probe 3. The high-frequency impedance of the probe 3 makes the measured wide-band doped with external noise, and makes the impedance matching difficult to achieve, thus affecting the accuracy of the measurement. Therefore, it is necessary to have a high-straight spring card structure capable of improving the resistance to external noise interference and having a 6-nano secret, thereby solving the disadvantages of the above-mentioned conventional techniques. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to provide a high-profile straight probe card structure comprising at least a probe and a circuit board stacked from top to bottom, a first insulating material, a conductive material body, air, and a first Two insulating materials, the probe penetrates through the first-insulating material, the conductive body, the air, and the second insulating material' and exposes the probe tip for contact = 4^ off the pilot' probe connection material to make the dragon needle In the 2 series, the money is smeared, the material is electrically conductive, and there is a _ between the body of the conductive material, so that the probe body acts as a medium, and the probe body has low dielectric property conduction, and then the frequency is changed. The transmission quality of electrical signals 'increased the test accuracy of the wafers to be tested. 201111790 Another object of the present invention is to provide a high frequency vertical probe card structure, wherein the probe body has a lateral dimension larger than a lateral dimension of the tip end of the pin, and the probe body is supported by the second insulating material to be isolated for testing. The test points of the wafer are electrically insulated from the body of conductive material to avoid short circuits. [Embodiment]
