Patent ID: 7323712

Claim:
An anisotropically conductive connector, comprising: a frame plate comprising a plurality of anisotropically conductive film-arranging holes, each extending in a thickness-wise direction of the frame plate, corresponding to electrode regions comprising electrodes to be inspected of integrated circuits in a wafer as an object for inspection, and a plurality of elastic anisotropically conductive films arranged in the respective anisotropically conductive film-arranging holes in said frame plate, 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, an insulating part insulating said conductive parts for connection mutually, and a supported part integrally arranged at a peripheral edge of the functional part and fixed to the inner peripheral edge about the anisotropically conductive film-arranging hole in said frame plate, and the supported part contains the conductive particles exhibiting magnetism, wherein said anisotropically conductive connector is suitable for conducting electrical inspection of each of a plurality of said integrated circuits in said wafer; and wherein said frame plate comprises air circulating holes each extending in the thickness-wise direction of the frame plate.
