ABSTRACT:
A probe card device used in a probing apparatus for testing the electrical characteristics of a semiconductor wafer by bringing bump electrodes into contact with a plurality of electrode pads of the wafer comprises a probe card, a support block for supporting the probe card, and a pushing mechanism for pushing the probe card toward the wafer. The pushing mechanism includes a pushing member divided into a plurality of blocks, and a support member for supporting each of the divided blocks. These plural blocks are movable independently and serve to push the wafer in a manner to follow a surface profile of the wafer.
