The test result is returned to the testing machine via the probe card for subsequent detection and analysis. In the case of wafer testing, for example, the size of the test machine is limited; 'prices and other factors, when the semiconductor factory is testing the object, it can usually only be tested with a limited number of test machines. Since the test specifications, types, and quantities of the test objects are different from each other, 'the test machine cannot meet the test of various processes or different types of test objects when the test machine is limited. *' = · Conditions. Therefore, it is possible to acquire and expand more test compatibility by modifying the program inside the test machine or by modifying the probe card. The printed circuit board of the conventional probe card is as shown in FIG. 1 , and the printed circuit board 1 can be mainly divided into three areas: the input area 2, the wiring area 3 and the solder joint area 4, wherein the plurality of probe cards are plural. A probe (not shown) may be fixed to a corresponding solder joint or joint of the solder joint area 4. The input area 2 includes a plurality of arrays of recordings 5'. The pads 5 include power pads to provide power input to the tester. The power pads are spatially converted via the 099101583 form number A0101 page 3/29 pages 0992003085-0 201126168 in the routing area 3, and electrically connected to the solder joint area 4 phase source. Solder or power ring to supply the probes. Among them, the power metal wiring of different regions or layers in the routing area 3 is defined as a different power plane, and since the printed circuit board 1 includes a plurality of power supply pads, a plurality of power planes are correspondingly included. [0006] The printed circuit board of the 099101583 η probe card is a multi-layer structure comprising layers of the above plurality of power planes, and a ground layer and a signal layer. Since each of the power planes must be routed in layers or layers in the routing area, the electrical connections are easy to make structural defects due to the layers, or metal conductors. Ke avoids the signal soldering on the printed circuit board and penetrates the printed circuit board, making the routing path of the metal wires too complicated. Therefore, when the power input from the power pad passes through the power plane of the trace area, 'the voltage drop often occurs (^〇118.§6(11"0 port) or noise interference is generated. This will affect the power supply to the probe. Integrity, which leads to test error and thus affects the test results. On the other hand, the food source plane is limited to the wiring in the printed circuit board, so the line is fixed and the expansion is not good enough to meet the diversified testing requirements of the client; The number of planes, it should be noted that the number of wiring layers of the printed circuit board is not only difficult to implement, but also will increase the overall cost and need to be solved. [Summary of the Invention] The purpose of the invention is to solve the above problems, and to propose a Power supply probe card to avoid excessive power supply drop or noise interference from the power supply of the test machine; Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a power plane customizable form number Α0101 Page 4 / 29 pages 0992003085-0 [0007] 201126168 [0008] [0009] [0010] [0011], the probe card can be used as needed. To achieve the foregoing objectives, The invention discloses that the power plane of the probe card is independent of the printed circuit board, and the external power supply or the external power plane is utilized, so that the DC power supply is transmitted from the input area to the solder joint area.

In the above embodiment, the present invention provides an application of the above printed circuit board. a probe card, the probe card comprising at least one external wire electrically connected to the first power pad group and the second power pad group to supply power. In another embodiment described above, the present invention provides A probe card for applying the above printed circuit board, the probe card comprising at least one external power plane, the external power plane being electrically connected to the first power soldering group and the second power pad group for supplying Since external leads or external power planes prevent the power supply from attenuating due to delamination or routing within the printed circuit board, better power integrity can be preserved and test accuracy can be improved. The power plane can be customized and can be replaced according to requirements, so that the compatibility is high, and the cost of the tester can be saved.
