The global market size of space transformers for probe cards is expected to reach US$1.859 billion in 2029

Space Transformer (ST) for Probe Card Market Summary

The space transformer for probe card needle is a probing tool used for circuit board and IC chip testing. It consists of a central probe and surrounding annular probes. When there is a potential difference between the probe and the object to be measured, an electric field is formed on the surface of the probe. The ring probe serves as the reference electrode. By measuring the potential difference between the center probe and the reference electrode, the spatial transformer can provide information on the voltage distribution on the object under test. This is very critical for circuit board testing and IC chip testing because it can help detect problems such as voltage regulation, short circuits, open circuits, etc., thereby ensuring the normal operation and stability of electronic devices.

According to the latest research report of GlobalInfoResearch, the global market size of space transformers for probe cards is expected to reach US$1.859 billion in 2029, with a CAGR of 6.46% in the next few years.
