Probe structures using clamped substrates with compliant interconnectors

摘要

One embodiment of the present invention is a structure useful for testing circuits that includes: (a) a substrate having contactors on a first side and pads on a second side; (b) a card having pads on a first side; and (c) interconnectors that electrically connect the pads on the second side of the substrate with the pads on the card; wherein at least one of the interconnectors includes at least a portion that does not melt at temperatures in a range from about 183° C. to about 230° C., and the distance between the substrate and the card is determined by a dimension of the at least a portion.
