The semiconductor wafer is placed on the wafer with the heating device during the test. On the susceptor, when the test is performed, the heating device heats the semiconductor wafer, for example, the reliability test of the integrated circuit component, and the heat generated by the heating device can be transmitted to the pin test card by thermal radiation. The test environment, or the probe tip of the card is thermally transferred to the test environment in which the test card is located, causing the temperature of the test environment to rise. However, the rising temperature may cause the pin card to be in and Test environment objects Changes in the nature or chemical properties (eg, the thermal expansion and contraction properties of the material cause deformation of the object), resulting in the measurement process not being able to proceed smoothly, or affecting the accuracy of the measurement results. [Summary] The main object of the invention is to provide a The needle measuring system, the needle measuring card holder, the needle measuring card and the combination thereof can effectively reduce the ambient temperature of the needle measuring card during the test to avoid physical or chemical changes of the needle card. The system comprises two slidings, at least one non-circular suspension, a plurality of seats and at least a transmission shaft. The at least one non-circular cantilever is placed on the slide rail. The plurality of needle card holders are disposed on the The at least-transmission shaft comprises at least a duct (the air duct is connected to the bottom of the card test deck). The needle card deck of the present invention comprises a plurality of connection terminals and at least a wind tunnel. The plurality of connections The terminal is disposed at the bottom of the card test deck for transmitting and receiving an electrical signal between the transmission shaft and the card test card. The at least one wind tunnel is configured to transmit nitrogen or cold air sent by the transmission shaft. The card includes a circuit board having a support member and a heat dissipation hole. The support member is configured to support a plurality of probes to form a needle tip. The heat dissipation hole is used for cooling the needle test card. The assembly of the present invention has a recessed portion The opening is for accommodating the support member. [Embodiment] The opening and the side wall, wherein Figure 2 shows the relationship between the needle measuring system of the present invention and the component to be tested. Similar to the prior art, the needle measuring system 2Q of the present invention is also The utility model has two slides 16 disposed on two sides of the rectangular open platform and a plurality of non-circular cantilever beams 12. A plurality of needle test card holders 24 are erected on the (four)-shaped suspension beam 12, which can finely adjust the needle test card and the to-be-tested The relative position of the component 2 i (e.g., wafer). The probe card holder 24 can be coarsely adjusted by the horizontal movement on the non-circular suspension 12 and the vertical movement of the non-circular cantilever 12 on the slider 16. To the position of the test element 21. Different from the prior art, the probe card holder 24 communicates with an external test machine (not shown) through a transmission shaft, and the transmission shaft includes not only the signal line but also at least the air duct.
