Title: Test probe alignment apparatus
Inventor: KIM KYUNG Y
IPC: H01L21/66
Filed: 2003-03-21
Abstract: A test probe alignment apparatus includes a rotatable ? stage that is decoupled from a workpiece positioning stage so that the workpiece positioning stage can move a workpiece in an X?Y plane without moving the ? stage, thereby inhibiting vibration in and inertia of the workpiece positioning stage, and improving the speed and accuracy of workpiece movements. The ? stage is driven for rotation about an axis substantially perpendicular to the X-Y plane. The rotatable stage supports a carriage adapted for holding a probe card. The carriage rotates in concert with the ? stage to thereby align the probe card relative to the workpiece. A Z-stage is operatively engaged with the carriage for moving the carriage along the axis of rotation relative to the workpiece. A computer processor performs coordinate transformations on preprogrammed movement vectors, to adjust for angular misalignment of the workpiece as measured by a position sensor.
