Preferably, an insulating layer 16 is disposed between the at least one signal probe 14 and the probe conductive film 15b. Depending on particular implementations, the material of the insulating layer 16 can be, but not limited to, polydimethylsiloxane, polyimide, or fluororesin insulating plating.

The probe conductive film 15b of the signal probe 14 contacts the contact point 124 of the first guide plate through holes 123 and the contact point 134 of the second guide plate through holes 133.

Plating the conductive film 15 (guide plate conductive film 15a and probe conductive film 15b) can make the current distribution of the guide plate and the probe more uniform, and make the conduction faster, resulting in reduced probability of needle burning.


Further, as shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, the signal probe 14, the probe conductive film 15b and the insulating layer 16 jointly form a coaxial needle. FIG. 4A is a schematic cross-sectional top view of a coaxial needle of the probe card structure 1 of the present disclosure; FIG. 4B is a schematic cross-sectional top view of another aspect of a coaxial needle of the probe card structure 1 of the present disclosure.

There are two differences between the probe card structure 1 shown in FIG. 6 and the probe card structure 1 shown in FIG. 1. Firstly, the probe card structure 1 of the third embodiment has two first guide plates 12 and two second guide plates 13. As described above, the present disclosure does not limit the quantity of the first guide plate 12 and the second guide plate 13. The quantity of the first guide plate 12 and the second guide plate 13 can be adjusted according to the particular implementations, and can be one, two, three or more, respectively.

The difference between the probe card structure 2 of the fourth embodiment and the probe card structure 1 of the first embodiment is that the plurality of second guide plate through holes 233 of the probe card structure 2 respectively have a first quantity of the second guide plate through holes 233 and a second quantity of the second guide plate through holes 233. The sum of the first quantity of the second guide plate through holes 233 and the second quantity of the second guide plate through holes 233 is less than or equal to the quantity of second guide plate through holes 233. The first quantity of the second guide plate through holes 233 defines the second guide plate first area A2 of the second guide plate, and the second quantity of the second guide plate through holes defines the second guide plate second area A3 of the second guide plate.


The first guide plate 22 may have a first guide plate first area and a first guide plate second area (not shown in FIG. 7); the second guide plate 23 may have a second guide plate first area A2 and a second guide plate second area A3. Specifically, FIG. 7 takes the second guide plate first area A2 and the second guide plate second area A3 at the second guide plate 23 as an example.
