TauProbes is the only UK manufacturer of semiconductor test probes for the global semiconductor test market. We offer test probes based on a tungsten probe body. The Innovate UK funded project will enable TauProbes to develop a Palladium plating process for the tips of our probes to enhance performance. This will enable TauProbes to produce the worlds most performant semiconductor test probes but with just a fraction of the expensive Palladium used in the leading high-performance probes on the market today. The probe technology has been designed from the start to allow damaged probes within a probe card to be repaired; this project will extend this further to enable the re-platting of worn probes. The removal of most of the Palladium in the probe will remove the need to import this material from Russia for the semiconductor test market. TauProbes is a key player in the on-going on-shoring of the semiconductor chip manufacture and test supply chain with its UK designed and manufactured state-of-the-art semiconductor test probe.

TauProbes是全球半导体测试市场唯一的英国半导体测试探针制造商。我们提供基于钨探针体的测试探针。Innovate UK资助的项目将使TauProbes能够为我们的探针尖端开发钯电镀工艺，以提高性能。这将使TauProbes能够生产世界上性能最高的半导体测试探针，但仅需当今市场上领先的高性能探针中使用的昂贵钯的一小部分。探针技术从一开始就设计成允许修复探针卡中损坏的探针;该项目将进一步扩展这一点，以使磨损的探针能够重新电镀。去除探针中的大部分钯将消除从俄罗斯进口这种材料用于半导体测试市场的需要。TauProbes是半导体芯片制造和测试供应链持续支持的关键参与者，其英国设计和制造的最先进的半导体测试探针。
