Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention pertains] In particular, a cantilever probe for use in probes of the present invention and a cantilever probe for transmitting high frequency signals [Prior Art] Please refer to Figure shows the conventional road board 10, a plurality of _ transmission wheels "two for 1 including an arm type (four) η ^ - probe holder 12 and a plurality of suspensions for the wire ♦ circuit board 1G on the near the periphery The soldering point 1 of the machine is used to receive the ',' line 11 of the electric measuring machine. (4) 精 ' Fine by each coaxial transmission 俨 ϋ / ϋ Corresponding to the connection of the probe 13 to perform the crystal on the 15 Chen Guan I; wherein the probe base 12 has a connection 2; a body 122 and a plurality of fixing members 123, a grounding surface (2) electric household 19 to the ground potential of the probe card 1, the probes 13 are provided On the probe, the body of each probe η is fixed by each fixing member 123, the core of the front end 131 between the tip 130 and the fixing member (2) is 13; the needle holder 12' is thus provided for each probe 13 points. Touching the test electron: when the piece is 'receiving the elastic buffering force arm from the needle tip 13〇 reaction force, the end 132 of each wooden needle 13 1〇 provided on the circuit board below each probe 102 near the center of the pad. Since each of the same vehicles has a conductive metal 111 electrically connected to the ground plane 121 by the outer ring of the transmission line U, the special transmission resistance of the coaxial transmission line of the coaxial transmission line 11 can be maintained, but only the coaxial transmission lines U to the integrated body There are still probes 13 between the circuit wafers, and each probe 13 is only a conductive metal, and the outer layer has no structure similar to the coaxial transmission line 11, so the high frequency signal of the coaxial transmission line 11 4 1312867 is transmitted to In the case of the probe 13, the capacitive effect of the dielectric environment around the probe 13 causes a dielectric loss of the high-frequency signal transmission, and thus the reliability of the go-to-frequency measurement. Even if there is a modified "suspended-type probe card a" as shown in the second figure, the coaxial conductive probe 2〇 structure with the characteristics of the coaxial transmission line is replaced by the above-mentioned single conductive metal structure of the above-mentioned probe~13 and will be explored. The base 122 of the hub 12 is made of a conductive metal material; wherein the 'coaxial probes 2G' are made of a metal core 21 and are divided into front and rear ends 20 and 202, and the front end 2 〇1 is located between the fixing member 123 and the tip of the needle, and the rear end 2〇2 is located between the fixing member 123 to the circuit board 10 of the (1). The rear end 2〇2 of the metal needle 21 is covered with a dielectric material 22, and the dielectric material 22 is The outer layer is covered with a conductive metal 23, and the conductive metal 23 is electrically connected to the ground potential of the probe card 2, and the coaxial probe 2 is maintained at the rear end 2〇2. The characteristic impedance of the high-frequency signal is transmitted, but each stage (10) probe 2 () front end 丨 5 2 〇 1 part is used to withstand the elastic buffer force arm from the needle tip reaction force · - _ with the metal needle 21 body specific The weight and the buffering activity required around it can't be increased as the rear end of the coaxial transmission line. The outer layer is also coated with the outer layer of the conductive metal, so the high-frequency transmission characteristics are limited to the respective coaxial probes. The #2〇2 part cannot be connected to the 2〇 front end 201'. The parasitic capacitance effect of the electrical environment causes the dielectric loss of high frequency signal transmission. Because the pin card can transmit the structure with the most efficient signal, maintaining the characteristic impedance of high-frequency signal transmission is a big challenge for today's probe card manufacturers. 5 1312867 [Summary of the Invention] Two should be === skill, _ type impedance.
