摘要
We have developed MEMS probe cards consisting of micro-springs arranged in a 250-mum-pitch array. Three-dimensional spring structures were designed and Ni microsprings were directly fabricated on a circuit board by a multilayer electroplating process. IS shaped' springs consisting of seven electroplated layers and 'folded lever' springs of five layers were designed and fabricated. Mechanical properties of the micro-springs were measured and no fracture or deformation were found after applying force of 10 mN for 10,000 times to 7-layer springs, while deformation of 1 Am were found in 5-layer springs. Low force electric contacts of smaller than 5 Omega for Al, and 3 Omega for Cu electrodes were obtained. Difference of the contact resistance in different types of spring structure was found.
