Abstract
La présente invention concerne une tête de sonde pour tester des éléments semi-conducteurs, la caractéristique technique centrale étant une tête de sonde de type précharge comprenant : une sonde avec une butée ; et un bloc avec un orifice d'accouplement pour accoupler la sonde, un film de guidage avec une zone ouverte pour exposer l'orifice d'accouplement étant fourni sur le dessus du bloc, et une partie inférieure sous la zone ouverte étant formée pour être large par rapport à la partie supérieure afin de fournir une zone flexible, grâce au film de guidage, entre la butée de la sonde et le bloc. En conséquence, les multiples films de guidage placés sur le dessus du bloc forment sur celui-ci des espaces flexibles qui correspondent à la partie pressée de la butée de la sonde, ce qui présente l'avantage de réduire l'impact reçu par le bloc pendant le test de l'élément semi-conducteur.
