A probe card is an interface used to perform a wafer test for a semiconductor wafer. This process is used to check the quality of integrated circuits or latent semantic indexing in the first process of semiconductor manufacturing. Generally, the probe card is electrically connected to a tester and mechanically docked to a prober. The main function of a probe card is to provide an electrical path between the test system and the circuits on the wafer, where the circuits can be tested. The main parts included in probe cards are called printed circuit boards (PCB) and some forms of contact elements. Many items are considered in a probe card, some being very common to use, and some having very special uses.
A surge in demand for electronic testing in the semiconductor industry may act as a driver in the global probe card market. Lack of awareness among consumers regarding the benefits of the probe card solution is expected to challenge the market growth. However, a rise in strategic partnership and collaboration among the organization is expected to provide opportunities for the global probe card market. The high cost associated with the probe card solution can prove to restrain the market.
