A method and apparatus for producing a substrate having a plurality of substantially co-planar bonding pads is provided. The substrate is employed in a probe apparatus used in wafer testing of wafer-mounted semiconductor integrated circuits. The bonding pads are formed by applying a plurality of bumps of electrically conductive material to a mounting surface of the substrate using a dispensing mechanism. The bumps are subsequently deformed into a plurality of substantially co-planar bonding pads using a flattening tool. The bonding pads provide a planar surface to which probes may be mounted, improving the accuracy and precision of positioning of tips of the probes. |
