ABSTRACT:
A circuit testing fixture is provided in which a flexible membrane (17) is provided with raised features (25) on one side arranged in the pattern of contacts (65) on a device (63) to be tested and circuit means (26) connected to a probe card (12). On the opposite side of the membrane is a support form (58), (66), (70) that is clamped in position so that it acts as a pressure pad to planar bottom edge which may provide ridges (61) in back deflect the membrane outwardly. The support form has a of the raised features (25) on the membrane (17) or recesses (68) at that location. The support form also may have a flat bottom surface (71) and may be of soft compliant material or of rigid material.
