ABSTRACT:
The disclosed mercury probe has a mercury reservoir and one or more passages extending from the reservoir to an aperture plate for engaging a test wafer. Dross that tends to form at the wafer-contact end of the mercury passage(s) is removed by returning all of the mercury in the passage(s) into the reservoir, where the dross is captured. Means is provided to introduce air into the passage(s) between the reservoir and the aperture(s) of the aperture plate, for disconnecting the mercury-probe segment(s) of the mercury from the reservoir and, where there are plural mercury-probe segments, for disconnecting them from each other.
