In particular, the present invention relates to a probe card to be electrically connected to an electronic device. This application is related to the following Japanese patent application. For those designated countries that are allowed to be incorporated by reference to the literature, the contents described in the following application are incorporated into this application by reference, and are incorporated in the description of this application.

従来、遮熱プレートを設けることで、 ウェハチャックからの熱対流を防ぐプロ ーブカードホルダが知られている。また、従来、冷却回路や加熱用ヒータにより、 構成部材の熱膨張係数の差によって生じる基板の変形が発生しないようにする プローブカードが知られている。 これらの構成は、 日本国における公開特許公報 である特開 2000— 228428号公報、及び特開 2000— 241454号 公報に開示されている。  Conventionally, a probe card holder has been known in which a heat shield plate is provided to prevent heat convection from a wafer chuck. Further, conventionally, there is known a probe card for preventing a substrate from being deformed due to a difference in thermal expansion coefficient between constituent members by a cooling circuit or a heater for heating. These configurations are disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 2000-228428 and 2000-241454, which are published patents in Japan.

しかし、高温試験又は低温試験用のプローブピンとして、高い精度を有する微 小針を用いる場合、基板内に生じる温度勾配により、プローブカードの基板にた わみが生じる場合があった。 そのため、従来、微小針を高い精度で半導体ウェハ に接触させるのが困難な場合があった。  However, when a microneedle having high accuracy is used as a probe pin for a high temperature test or a low temperature test, the substrate of the probe card may be bent due to a temperature gradient generated in the substrate. For this reason, conventionally, it has been difficult in some cases to bring the microneedles into contact with the semiconductor wafer with high accuracy.

以下、発明の実施の形態を通じて本発明を説明するが、以下の実施形態は請求 の範囲にかかる発明を限定するものではなく、また実施形態の中で説明されてい る特徴の組み合わせの全てが発明の解決手段に必須であるとは限らない。 図 1及ぴ図 2は、本発明の実施形態に係るプローブカード 1 0 0の構成の一例 を示す。 図 1は、 プローブカード 1 0 0の垂直断面図を示す。 図 2は、 プローブ カード 1 0 0の水平断面図を示す。 本例において、 プローブカード 1 0 0は、 電 子デパイスの一例である半導体ウェハ 5 0と電気的に接続される。本例のプロ一 ブカード 1 0 0は、複数のプローブピン 1 0 2を、高い精度で半導体ウェハ 5 0 と接続する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described through embodiments of the present invention. However, the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims, and all combinations of the features described in the embodiments are the inventions. Is not necessarily essential to the solution of the above. 1 and 2 show an example of the configuration of a probe card 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a vertical sectional view of the probe card 100. FIG. 2 shows a horizontal sectional view of the probe card 100. In this example, the probe card 100 is electrically connected to a semiconductor wafer 50 which is an example of an electronic device. The probe card 100 of this example connects a plurality of probe pins 102 to the semiconductor wafer 50 with high accuracy.

プローブカード 1 0 0は、プローブカード支持部材 1 1 4に支持される。 そし て、ウェハステージ 5 2が半導体ウェハ 5 0をプローブカード 1 0 0に向かって 移動させることにより、プロープカード 1 0 0は、プローブピン 1 0 2と半導体 ゥヱハ 5 0とを電気的に接続させる。 プロープカード 1 0 0は、複数のプローブ ピン 1 0 2、 プローブカード基板 1 1 8、 スティフイナ 1 0 8、複数の基板固定 部材 1 1 2、 ヒータ 2 1 2、 及び温度制御部 1 1 6を備える。  The probe card 100 is supported by the probe card support member 114. Then, the wafer stage 52 moves the semiconductor wafer 50 toward the probe card 100, so that the probe card 100 electrically connects the probe pins 102 to the semiconductor substrate 50. . The probe card 100 includes a plurality of probe pins 102, a probe card substrate 118, a stiffener 108, a plurality of substrate fixing members 112, a heater 212, and a temperature control unit 116. .

複数のプローブピン 1 0 2は、プローブカード基板 1 1 8に対して固定して設 けられ、例えば、半導体ウェハ 5 0に設けられた信号入出力パッドとそれぞれ電 気的に接続されることにより、 半導体ウェハ 5 0に対する信号の入出力を行う。 プローブピン 1 0 2は、プローブカード基板 1 1 8に保持された一端に対する他 端において半導体ウェハ 5 0と電気的に接続される。  The plurality of probe pins 102 are fixedly provided with respect to the probe card substrate 118, and are electrically connected to signal input / output pads provided on the semiconductor wafer 50, for example. The input / output of signals to / from the semiconductor wafer 50 is performed. The probe pins 102 are electrically connected to the semiconductor wafer 50 at the other end with respect to the one end held by the probe card substrate 118.

プローブピン 1 0 2の当該一端から他端に向かう方向は、プローブカード基板 1 1 8から半導体ゥヱハ 5 0に向かう方向と略平行であるのが好ましい。この場 合、プローブカード基板 1 1 8に、高い密度でプローブピン 1 0 2を設けること ができる。 本例において、 プローブピン 1 0 2は、 略 S字形の微小針である。 他 の例において、 プローブピン 1 0 2は、 略円錐状のバンプであってもよい。 本例 によれば、プローブピンの静電容量等が測定に与える影響を低減することにより 、 高い精度で半導体ウェハ 5 0を試験することができる。  The direction from the one end of the probe pin 102 to the other end is preferably substantially parallel to the direction from the probe card substrate 118 to the semiconductor chip 50. In this case, the probe pins 102 can be provided on the probe card substrate 118 at a high density. In this example, the probe pins 102 are substantially S-shaped minute needles. In another example, the probe pins 102 may be substantially conical bumps. According to the present example, the semiconductor wafer 50 can be tested with high accuracy by reducing the influence of the capacitance of the probe pins and the like on the measurement.

プローブカード基板 1 1 8は、半導体ウェハ 5 0の上部に半導体ウェハ 5 0と 対向して設けられた基板であり、 半導体ウェハ 5 0と対向する面 (以下、対向面 という) における中心部近傍において複数のプローブピン 1 0 2を保持する。 プ ローブカード基板 1 1 8は、保持基板の一例である。 本例において、 プローブ力 ード基板 1 1 8は、互いに接合されたプリント基板 1 0 4及びビルドアップ基板 1 0 6を有する。 The probe card substrate 118 is a substrate provided above the semiconductor wafer 50 so as to face the semiconductor wafer 50. The probe card substrate 118 is located near the center of the surface facing the semiconductor wafer 50 (hereinafter referred to as the facing surface). Holds multiple probe pins 102. Step The lobe card substrate 1 18 is an example of a holding substrate. In this example, the probe force board 118 has a printed board 104 and a build-up board 106 joined to each other.

プリント基板 1 0 4は、ビルドアップ基板 1 0 6を挟んで複数のプローブピン 1 0 2と対向する。 また、 プリント基板 1 0 4は、 例えばガラスエポキシ基板で あり、 複数のプローブピン 1 0 2に対応する複数のプリント基板伝送路を含む。 ビルドアップ基板 1 0 6は、プリント基板 1 0 4に対する接合面の裏面におい て半導体ウェハ 5 0と対向し、当該裏面において複数のプローブピン 1 0 2を保 持する。 ビルドアップ基板 1 0 6は、 例えば、 フィルム状に生成されて、 プリン ト基板 1 0 4に張着される。 また、 ビルドアップ基板 1 0 6は、 例えばエポキシ 基板であり、複数のプローブピン 1 0 2に対応する複数のビルドアップ基板伝送 路を含む。  The printed circuit board 104 faces the plurality of probe pins 102 with the build-up board 106 interposed therebetween. Further, the printed circuit board 104 is, for example, a glass epoxy board, and includes a plurality of printed circuit board transmission lines corresponding to the plurality of probe pins 102. The build-up board 106 faces the semiconductor wafer 50 on the back surface of the bonding surface to the printed board 104, and holds the plurality of probe pins 102 on the back surface. The build-up substrate 106 is formed, for example, in a film shape, and is attached to the print substrate 104. The build-up board 106 is, for example, an epoxy board, and includes a plurality of build-up board transmission lines corresponding to the plurality of probe pins 102.

ここで、複数のビルドアップ基板伝送路における最小の配線間隔は、複数のプ リント基板伝送路における最小の配線間隔より小さい。 また、 ビルドアップ基板 伝送路は、対応するプローブピン 1 0 2と、 プリント基板伝送路とをそれぞれ電 気的に接続する。  Here, the minimum wiring interval in the plurality of build-up board transmission lines is smaller than the minimum wiring interval in the plurality of print board transmission lines. Also, the build-up board transmission line electrically connects the corresponding probe pin 102 and the printed board transmission line, respectively.

スティフイナ 1 0 8は、高熱伝導部材の一例であり、プローブカード基板 1 1 8における対向面の裏面の一部と接触して、プローブカード基板 1 1 8における 当該裏面側に設けられる。 スティフイナ 1 0 8は、例えばネジである基板固定部 材 1 1 2により、 プローブカード基板 1 1 8に対して固定される。 これにより、 スティフイナ 1 0 8は、 プローブカード基板 1 1 8を補強する。 本例において、 スティフイナ 1 0 8は、例えば金属等の、プローブカード基板 1 1 8より熱伝導 率が高い部材により形成される。  The stiffener 108 is an example of a high heat conducting member, and is provided on the probe card substrate 118 in contact with a part of the rear surface of the opposing surface of the probe card substrate 118. The stiffener 108 is fixed to the probe card substrate 118 by a substrate fixing member 112, for example, a screw. Thereby, the stiffener 108 reinforces the probe card substrate 118. In this example, the stiffener 108 is formed of a member having a higher thermal conductivity than the probe card substrate 118, such as a metal, for example.

また、 スティフイナ 1 0 8は、 中心貫通部 2 0 8、 収容部 2 1 0、 及び複数の 周辺貫通部 2 1 4を有する。 中心貫通部 2 0 8は、スティフイナ 1 0 8とプロ一 プカード基板 1 1 8との接触面と略垂直に、スティフイナ 1 0 8の中心部近傍を 貫通して設けられた貫通孔である。収容部 2 1 0は、 中心貫通部 2 0 8より外周 の部分に、 略円周状に延伸して設けられた溝である。 収容部 2 1 0は、 スティフ イナ 1 0 8とプローブカード基板 1 1 8との接触面から、スティフイナ 1 0 8の 内部に向かう方向に窪んで形成される。収容部 2 1 0は、 ヒータ 2 1 2を収容し 、 これにより、 スティフイナ 1 0 8は、 ヒータ 2 1 2を内部に収容する。 In addition, the stiffener 108 has a center penetration part 208, an accommodation part 210, and a plurality of peripheral penetration parts 214. The center penetrating portion 208 is a through hole provided substantially perpendicular to the contact surface between the stiffener 108 and the prop card substrate 118 and penetrating the vicinity of the central portion of the stiffener 108. The accommodating part 210 is more peripheral than the center penetrating part 208 Is a groove that is provided to extend in a substantially circumferential shape. The accommodating portion 210 is formed so as to be depressed in a direction toward the inside of the stiffener 108 from the contact surface between the stiffener 108 and the probe card substrate 118. The accommodation section 210 accommodates the heater 212, whereby the stiffener 108 accommodates the heater 212 inside.

周辺貫通部 2 1 4は、 中心貫通部 2 0 8より外周部において、スティフイナ 1 0 8とプローブカード基板 1 1 8との接触面と略垂直に貫通して設けられた貫 通孔である。 プローブカード 1 0 0は、 例えば、 周辺貫通部 2 1 4内に、 プリン ト基板伝送路と電気的に接続されたコネクタ (図示せず) を備える。  The peripheral penetrating portion 214 is a penetrating hole provided in the outer peripheral portion from the central penetrating portion 208 so as to penetrate substantially perpendicularly to the contact surface between the stiffener 108 and the probe card substrate 118. The probe card 100 includes, for example, a connector (not shown) electrically connected to the print board transmission line in the peripheral penetrating portion 214.

本例において、複数の周辺貫通部 2 1 4は、 中心貫通部 2 0 8を略囲んで形成 され、 ヒータ 2 1 2からスティフイナ 1 0 8の周辺部への熱流出を低減する。 ま た、 これにより、 周辺貫通部 2 1 4は、 スティフイナ 1 0 8から大気中への熱流 出を低減する。 本例によれば、 ヒータ 2 1 2力 ら熱を、 プローブカード基板 1 1 8に適切に与えることができる。  In this example, the plurality of peripheral through-holes 214 are formed so as to substantially surround the central through-hole 208, and reduce heat flow from the heater 212 to the peripheral portion of the stiffener 108. Further, thereby, the peripheral penetration portion 214 reduces the heat flow from the stiffener 108 to the atmosphere. According to this example, the heat from the heater 212 can be appropriately applied to the probe card substrate 118.

ヒータ 2 1 2は、 例えば、 コイル状に巻かれた電熱線であり、 温度制御部 1 1 6から受け取る電力に基づき、スティフイナ 1 0 8を加熱する。 ヒータ 2 1 2は 、 温度変更部の一例である。 そして、 ヒータ 2 1 2は、 スティフイナ 1 0 8の温 度を変化させることにより、プローブカード基板 1 1 8における対向面の裏面の 温度を変化させる。 本例において、 ヒータ 2 1 2は、 収容部 2 1 0内に、 例えば 樹脂等により固定され、 かつ、 略円周状に延伸して設けられる。 この場合、 ヒー タ 2 1 2は、 スティフイナ 1 0 8を高い効率で加熱することができる。  The heater 212 is, for example, a heating wire wound in a coil shape, and heats the stiffener 108 based on electric power received from the temperature control unit 116. The heater 211 is an example of a temperature changing unit. The heater 2 12 changes the temperature of the stiffener 108 to change the temperature of the back surface of the opposing surface of the probe card substrate 118. In the present example, the heater 2 12 is fixed in, for example, a resin or the like in the accommodating section 210 and is provided so as to extend in a substantially circumferential shape. In this case, the heater 2 12 can heat the stiffener 108 with high efficiency.

温度制御部 1 1 6は、例えばプリント基板 1 0 4上に設けられ、プローブカー ド基板 1 1 8における対向面の裏面の温度を測定する。温度制御部 1 1 6は、裏 面温度測定部の一例である。 また、温度制御部 1 1 6は測定した温度に基づく電 力をヒータ 2 1 2に与えることにより、 ヒータ 2 1 2を制御する。 これにより、 ヒータ 2 1 2は、温度制御部 1 1 6が測定する当該温度に基づき、プローブカー ド基板 1 1 8における対向面の裏面の温度を変化させる。  The temperature control section 116 is provided, for example, on the printed circuit board 104 and measures the temperature of the back surface of the opposing surface of the probe card board 118. The temperature control section 1 16 is an example of the back surface temperature measurement section. Further, the temperature control section 116 controls the heater 212 by supplying electric power to the heater 212 based on the measured temperature. As a result, the heater 2 12 changes the temperature of the rear surface of the opposing surface of the probe card substrate 1 18 based on the temperature measured by the temperature controller 1 16.

また、温度制御部 1 1 6は、プローブカード基板 1 1 8における対向面の温度 を更に測定してもよい。 この場合、 ヒータ 2 1 2は、 対向面の裏面の温度と、 対 向面の温度との差に基づき、対向面の裏面の温度を変化させるのが好ましい。 こ の場合、 ヒータ 2 1 2は、 対向面の裏面を、 更に適切に加熱することができる。 温度制御部 1 1 6は、 対向面の裏面の温度と、 対向面の温度'との差が、 予め定め られた値以上になった場合に、 ヒータ 2 1 2に当該裏面を加熱させてよい。 温度 制御部 1 1 6は、熱電対又は抵抗温度計により、 対向面の裏面、及び対向面の温 度を測定してよい。 この場合、 1度以内の高い精度で温度を測定できる。 In addition, the temperature controller 1 16 determines the temperature of the facing surface of the probe card substrate 1 18. May be further measured. In this case, it is preferable that the heater 211 changes the temperature of the back surface of the facing surface based on the difference between the temperature of the back surface of the facing surface and the temperature of the facing surface. In this case, the heater 211 can more appropriately heat the back surface of the facing surface. The temperature controller 1 16 may cause the heater 2 12 to heat the back surface when the difference between the temperature of the back surface of the facing surface and the temperature ′ of the facing surface becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined value. . The temperature controller 1 16 may measure the temperature of the back surface of the facing surface and the temperature of the facing surface using a thermocouple or a resistance thermometer. In this case, the temperature can be measured with high accuracy within 1 degree.

ここで、本例において、 半導体ゥヱハ 5 0は、 ウェハステージ 5 2上に裁置さ れ、 高温試験される。 また、 ウェハステージ 5 2は、 温度設定部 5 4を有する。 温度設定部 5 4は、 設定された温度に基づき、 半導体ウェハ 5 0を加熱する。 そのため、 本例において、 プローブカード基板 1 1 8は、 半導体ウェハ 5 0か らの熱を、 プローブピン 1 0 2を介して対向面に受け取る。 ここで、 半導体ゥェ ハ 5 0から受け取る熱により対向面と、対向面の裏面の温度差が生じるとすれば 、対向面と裏面との熱膨張量の差により、プローブカード基板 1 1 8に反りが生 じることとなり、複数のプローブピン 1 0 2のそれぞれと半導体ウェハ 5 0との 距離にばらつきが生じる。 この場合、 オーバードライブ量 (O D量) の小さなプ ローブピン 1 0 2においては、複数のプローブピン 1 0 2を半導体ウェハ 5 0の 信号入出力パッドと適切に接続できない場合がある。  Here, in this example, the semiconductor substrate 50 is placed on the wafer stage 52 and subjected to a high-temperature test. The wafer stage 52 has a temperature setting section 54. The temperature setting section 54 heats the semiconductor wafer 50 based on the set temperature. Therefore, in this example, the probe card substrate 118 receives the heat from the semiconductor wafer 50 to the opposing surface via the probe pins 102. If the heat received from the semiconductor wafer 50 causes a temperature difference between the facing surface and the back surface of the facing surface, the difference in the amount of thermal expansion between the facing surface and the back surface causes the probe card substrate 118 Warpage occurs, and the distance between each of the plurality of probe pins 102 and the semiconductor wafer 50 varies. In this case, in the probe pin 102 having a small overdrive amount (OD amount), a plurality of probe pins 102 may not be properly connected to the signal input / output pad of the semiconductor wafer 50.

し力 し、本例において、 ヒータ 2 1 2は、 対向面の裏面を加熱することにより 、 当該裏面の温度を、 対向面の温度に近づける方向に変化させる。 これにより、 ヒータ 2 1 2は、プローブカード基板 1 1 8内における温度勾配の大きさを低減 する。 更には、 これにより、 ヒータ 2 1 2は、 プローブカード基板 1 1 8の対向 面と、対向面の裏面との熱膨張量の差を低減するため、プローブカード基板 1 1 8のたわみを抑制することができる。 そのため、本例によれば、 半導体ウェハ 5 0を加熱した場合に生じるプローブカード基板 1 1 8の反りを低減することが できる。 また、 これにより、 プローブピン 1 0 2を高い精度で半導体ウェハ 5 0 と接続することができる。 尚、 ヒータ 2 1 2は、プローブカード基板 1 1 8における対向面の裏面の温度 を、 対向面の温度より高い温度に変化させてもよい。 また、 ヒータ 2 1 2は、 半 導体ウェハ 5 0の温度に基づき、対向面の裏面の温度を変化させてもよい。 この 場合、 温度制御部 1 1 6は、 測定した半導体ウェハ 5 0の温度に基づき、 又は温 度設定部 5 4に設定された温度に基づき、 ヒータ 2 1 2に電力を供給してよい。 また、 ゥ: ハステージ 5 2は、複数の半導体ゥヱハ 5 0を順次プローブカード 1 0 0の下に移動させ、プローブカード 1 0 0は、 これらの複数の半導体ウェハ 5 0と順次電気的に接続されてよい。 この場合、プローブカード 1 0 0が半導体 ウェハ 5 0と電気的に接続されない期間において、 ヒータ 2 1 2は、対向面の裏 面を、半導体ウェハ 5 0と電気的に接続される期間より強く加熱するのが好まし い。 この場合、 プローブカード 1 0 0が半導体ウェハ 5 0と電気的に接続されな い期間にプローブカード基板 1 1 8の温度が低下するのを防ぐことにより、ヒー タ 2 1 2は、 プローブカード基板 1 1 8を効率よく加熱することができる。 また、 他の例において、 半導体ゥヱハ 5 0は、 低温試験されてもよい。 この場 合、温度設定部 5 4は、設定された温度に基づき、 半導体ウェハ 5 0を冷却する 。 この場合、 プローブカード 1 0 0は、 ヒータ 2 1 2に代えて、 例えばペルチェ クーラ等の冷却器を有する。 当該冷却器は、対向面の裏面を冷却することにより 、 当該裏面の温度を、 対向面の温度に近づける方向に変化させる。 この場合も、 半導体ゥヱハ 5 0の冷却に伴うプローブカード基板 1 1 8の反りを低減させる ことにより、プローブピン 1 0 2を高い精度で半導体ウェハ 5 0と接続すること ができる。 In this example, the heater 211 heats the back surface of the facing surface to change the temperature of the back surface in a direction closer to the temperature of the facing surface. Thus, the heater 211 reduces the magnitude of the temperature gradient in the probe card substrate 118. Further, by this, the heater 2 12 suppresses the deflection of the probe card substrate 1 18 in order to reduce the difference in the amount of thermal expansion between the opposing surface of the probe card substrate 1 18 and the back surface of the opposing surface. be able to. Therefore, according to this example, it is possible to reduce the warpage of the probe card substrate 118 caused when the semiconductor wafer 50 is heated. In addition, this allows the probe pins 102 to be connected to the semiconductor wafer 50 with high accuracy. Note that the heater 2 12 may change the temperature of the back surface of the opposing surface of the probe card substrate 1 18 to a temperature higher than the temperature of the opposing surface. In addition, heater 212 may change the temperature of the back surface of the facing surface based on the temperature of semiconductor wafer 50. In this case, the temperature control unit 116 may supply power to the heater 212 based on the measured temperature of the semiconductor wafer 50 or based on the temperature set in the temperature setting unit 54. Further, ゥ: the stage 52 moves the plurality of semiconductors 50 sequentially under the probe card 100, and the probe card 100 is electrically connected to the plurality of semiconductor wafers 50 sequentially. May be. In this case, during a period in which probe card 100 is not electrically connected to semiconductor wafer 50, heater 211 heats the back surface of the opposing surface more strongly than a period in which probe card 100 is electrically connected to semiconductor wafer 50. It is preferable to do so. In this case, by preventing the temperature of the probe card substrate 118 from dropping during a period in which the probe card 100 is not electrically connected to the semiconductor wafer 50, the heater 2 122 1 1 8 can be efficiently heated. In another example, the semiconductor device 50 may be subjected to a low-temperature test. In this case, the temperature setting section 54 cools the semiconductor wafer 50 based on the set temperature. In this case, the probe card 100 has a cooler such as a Peltier cooler instead of the heater 2 12. The cooler cools the back surface of the facing surface to change the temperature of the back surface in a direction closer to the temperature of the facing surface. Also in this case, the probe pins 102 can be connected to the semiconductor wafer 50 with high accuracy by reducing the warpage of the probe card substrate 118 caused by cooling the semiconductor substrate 50.

また、プローブカード 1 0 0を、 ヒータ 2 1 2及ぴ冷却器の両方を備えてもよ い。 この場合、 半導体ウェハ 5 0を加熱及び冷却試験するいずれの場合も、 プロ ーブカード基板 1 1 8の反りを低減することができる。 図 3及ぴ図 4は、 プローブカード 1 0 0の構成の他の例を示す。 図 3は、 プロ ブカード 1 0 0の垂直断面図を示す。 図 4は、 プローブカード 1 0 0の水平断 面図を示す。 Further, the probe card 100 may be provided with both the heater 212 and the cooler. In this case, the warp of the probe card substrate 118 can be reduced in both cases of heating and cooling tests of the semiconductor wafer 50. 3 and 4 show another example of the configuration of the probe card 100.

The heat insulating member 402 insulates the stiffener 108 by substantially covering the stiffener 108. In this case, the heater 212 can heat the stiffener 108 and the probe card substrate 118 with high efficiency.

Hold 4 4. The heat insulating member 402 is preferably screwed to the stiffener 108. According to this example, the warpage of the probe card substrate 118 caused when the semiconductor wafer 50 is heated can be reduced. When the semiconductor wafer 50 is subjected to a low-temperature test, the temperature control unit 116 supplies low-temperature air to the nozzle 404 instead of high-temperature air. Note that, with regard to points other than the above, the configuration in FIG. 6 denoted by the same reference numeral as in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 has the same or similar function as the configuration in FIG. 1 or FIG. FIG. 7 shows still another example of the configuration of the probe card 100. In this example, the heater 2 12 is, for example, a hot plate, and is provided so as to substantially cover the opening of the central through portion 208. In this case, the heaters 212 supply heat to the probe card substrate 118 using the air or the like in the center penetration portion 208 as a medium. According to this example, it is possible to reduce the warpage of the probe card substrate 118 caused when the semiconductor substrate 50 is heated. It should be noted that the probe card 100 may have a cooler having substantially the same shape as the heater 212 in place of the heater 212. Note that, with regard to points other than the above, the configuration in FIG. 7 denoted by the same reference numeral as in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 has the same or similar function as the configuration in FIG. 1 or FIG. 8 and 9 show still another example of the configuration of the probe card 100. FIG. FIG. 8 shows a vertical sectional view of the probe card 100. FIG. 9 shows a horizontal sectional view of the probe card 100. 8 and 9, the configurations denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 have the same or similar functions as / to the configurations in FIG. 1 or FIG. In this example, the probe card 100 further includes a pressing member 110. The pressing member 110 has a peripheral fixing part 302 and a center contact part 304. The peripheral fixing portion 302 is provided on the stiffener 108 so as to face the probe card substrate 118 with the stiffener 108 interposed therebetween, and substantially covers the upper surface of the stiffener 108. In addition, the peripheral fixing portion 302 is integrated with the stiffener 108 and the probe card substrate 118 by a plurality of substrate fixing members 112 on the outer peripheral portion from the center penetrating portion 208 of the stiffener 108. Fixed to As a result, the peripheral fixing portion 302 is fixed to the peripheral portion of the probe card substrate 118 on the back surface of the opposing surface of the probe card substrate 118.

また、 中心接触部 3 0 4は、 中心貫通部 2 0 8の内部において、周辺固定部 3 0 2から延伸して、周辺固定部 3 0 2に対して固定して形成される。 また、 周辺 固定部 3 0 2は、 中心貫通部 2 0 8の内部において、プローブカード基板 1 1 8 における、 対向面の裏面の中心部近傍と接触する。 ここで、 ヒータ 2 1 2は、プローブカード基板 1 1 8の対向面の裏面を加熱す ることにより、プローブカード基板 1 1 8に反りの大きさを変化させ、プローブ カード基板 1 1 8の中心部を半導体ウェハ 5 0から離れる方向に移動させる。こ れにより、 ヒータ 2 1 2は、 プローブカード基板 1 1 8の、 半導体ウェハ 5 0か らの熱による反りを低減する。 The center contact portion 304 extends from the peripheral fixing portion 302 and is fixed to the peripheral fixing portion 302 inside the center penetrating portion 208. Further, the peripheral fixing portion 302 comes into contact with the vicinity of the center of the rear surface of the opposing surface of the probe card substrate 118 inside the center penetrating portion 208. Here, the heater 2 1 2 changes the degree of warpage of the probe card substrate 1 18 by heating the back surface of the opposing surface of the probe card substrate 1 18, and the center of the probe card substrate 1 18 is heated. The part is moved in a direction away from the semiconductor wafer 50. As a result, the heater 2 12 reduces warpage of the probe card substrate 1 18 due to heat from the semiconductor wafer 50.

そのため、 ヒータ 2 1 2が対向面の裏面を加熱した場合、 中心接触部 3 0 4は 、 当該裏面における中心部近傍を、 当該裏面から前記電子デバイスに向かう方向 に押圧する。 これにより、押圧部材 1 1 0は、 ヒータ 2 1 2の加熱によりプロ一 ブカード基板 1 1 8力 S、半導体ウェハ 5 0からの熱による反りと反対方向に反る のを防止する。  Therefore, when the heater 211 heats the back surface of the facing surface, the center contact portion 304 presses the vicinity of the center on the back surface in a direction from the back surface to the electronic device. Accordingly, the pressing member 110 prevents the probe card substrate 118 from being warped in the opposite direction to the warpage due to heat from the semiconductor wafer 50 due to the heating of the heater 212.

尚、 ヒータ 2 1 2は、プローブカード基板 1 1 8における対向面の裏面を加熱 することにより、プローブカード基板 1 1 8に、対向面の中心部が窪む方向に反 らせる応力を生じさせるのが好ましい。 この場合、押圧部材 1 1 0がプローブ力 ード基板 1 1 8を適切に押圧することにより、プローブカード基板 1 1 8の反り を更に適切に低減又は解消することができる。 ヒータ 2 1 2は、プローブカード 基板 1 1 8における対向面の裏面の温度を、対向面の温度より高い温度に変化さ せてよい。  In addition, the heater 211 heats the back surface of the opposing surface of the probe card substrate 118 so as to generate a stress in the probe card substrate 118 so that the center of the opposing surface is depressed. Is preferred. In this case, the warp of the probe card substrate 118 can be more appropriately reduced or eliminated by the pressing member 110 appropriately pressing the probe card substrate 118. The heater 212 may change the temperature of the back surface of the opposing surface of the probe card substrate 118 to a temperature higher than the temperature of the opposing surface.
