ABSTRACT:
The multi-point probe comprises a supporting body defining a first surface, a first multitude of conductive probe arms each of the probe arms defining a proximal end and a distal end being positioned in co-planar relationship with the first surface of the supporting body. The probe arms are connected to the supporting body at the proximal ends thereof and have the distal ends freely extending from the supporting body, giving individually flexible motion to the first multitude of probe arms. The probe arms originate from a process of producing the probe arms on a wafer body in facial contact with the wafer body and removal of a part of the wafer body providing the supporting body and providing the probe arms freely extending therefrom. The multi-point probe further comprises a third multitude of tip elements extending from the distal end of the first multitude of probe arms. The tip elements originate from a process of metallization of electron beam depositions on the probe arms at the distal ends thereof.
