A probe needle for a probe card which is characterized by applying a Ni plating containing PTFE to at least an end face of a tip portion thereof is disclosed. A Ni plating containing PTFE layer may preferably be formed on the tip portion of the probe needle by using a Ni plating layer as a substrate. The Ni plating may preferably have a thickness of 0.5-2 mum to ensure the adhesion of the Ni plating containing PTFE, while the Ni plating containing PTFE may preferably have a thickness of 0.5-2 mum to ensure the sliding property of the PTFE. In this probe needle, since the tip portion thereof is covered with the Ni plating containing PTFE layer, the wear resistance is not deteriorated, the favorable conductivity is obtained, and the oxidization of the end face which is brought into contact with an integrated circuit is prevented. Further, with the use of PTFE, the sliding property is enhanced so that the adhesion of the aluminum oxide can be substantially completely prevented thus ensuring the stable conductivity.
