Probe tip cleaning apparatus and method of use

US-7784146-B2

Abstract

Apparatus for the method, including cartridges for housing strips of cleaning pad material, are provided. A method for cleaning probe tips, e.g., on a probe card, comprises abrading the probe tips on an abrasive surface, and advancing the abrasive surface so that a later cleaning cycle uses a clean portion of the cleaning pad. The method may include use of a vacuum to aspirate material dislodged by the abrading. In another aspect, a method for cleaning probe tips includes brushing the probe tips and operating a vacuum to aspirate material from the probe tips and/or brush. The methods may be used singly or in combination.
