Abstract:
1. A probe apparatus having a probe that probes a semiconductor device and terminates with a signal cable from a tester, comprising: a chassis; a dielectric block mounted in the chassis for retaining the probe, the probe extending on the chassis from a proximal end of the probe towards the dielectric block, extending through the dielectric block, and projecting from the dielectric block towards the semiconductor device at a distal end of the probe; a dielectric plate mounted in the chassis around the dielectric block, the probe extending from the proximal end of the probe to the dielectric plate towards the dielectric block and the semiconductor device at the distal end of the probe, the signal cable extending from a distal end along the dielectric plate towards the tester at a proximal end; and a terminating apparatus, mounted in the chassis, for terminating the proximal end of the probe with the distal end of the signal cable side by side.
