Patent ID: 6969622

Claim:
An anisotropically conductive connector comprising: a frame plate in which a plurality of anisotropically conductive film-arranging holes each extending in a thickness-wise direction of the frame plate are formed corresponding to electrode regions, in which electrodes to be inspected of the integrated circuits in the wafer as an object for inspection have been formed, and a plurality of elastic anisotropically conductive films arranged in the respective anisotropically conductive film-arranging holes in this frame plate and each supported by the inner peripheral edge about the anisotropically conductive film-arranging hole, wherein each of the elastic anisotropically conductive films comprises a functional part comprising a plurality of conductive parts for connection each containing conductive particles exhibiting magnetism at high density and extending in the thickness-wise direction of the film and arranged correspondingly to the electrodes to be inspected of the integrated circuits in the wafer as an object for inspection, and insulating part insulating these conductive parts for connection mutually, and supported part integrally formed at a peripheral edge of the functional part and fixed to the inner peripheral edge about the anisotropically conductive film-arranging hole in this frame plate, and the supported part contains the conductive particles exhibiting magnetism, wherein the frame plate has a saturation magnetization of at least 0.1 Wb/m 2 at least at the inner peripheral edges about the anisotropically conductive film-arranging holes thereof; and wherein said anisotropically conductive connector is suitable for conducting electrical inspection of each of a plurality of integrated circuits formed on a wafer in a state of the wafer.
