Abstract:
An interconnect assembly for use in evaluating a probing device, a said probing device having a plurality of device probing ends, the device-probing ends each having a width and being separated from each other by a predetermined spacing, said interconnect assembly comprising:(a) a base having a planar upper face, said face including a planar conductive pad, and said pad having a greatest dimension substantially equal to the width of each of said probing ends; (b) said face further including an annular dielectric area surrounding said conductive pad and coplanar therewith; (c) said face further including an outer conductive area surrounding said annular dielectric area and substantially coplanar therewith; and (d) said annular dielectric area having a radial width, between said conductive pad and said outer conductive area, substantially equal to said spacing between said device probing ends.
