A chuck for a probe station.
I claim: 1. A chuck for a probe station comprising: (a) a first chuck assembly element having a lower surface and an upper surface suitable to support a wafer, said first chuck assembly element defining at least one first air path therein to said upper surface; (b) a second chuck assembly element h
I claim: 1. A chuck for a probe station comprising: (a) a first chuck assembly element having a lower surface and an upper surface suitable to support a wafer, said first chuck assembly element defining at least one first air path therein to said upper surface; (b) a second chuck assembly element having an upper surface in opposing relationship to said lower surface of said first chuck assembly element, said second chuck assembly defining at least one second air path therein; and (c) an interconnecting member interconnecting said first air path and said second air path in such a manner that a vacuum may be provided from said first air path to said second air path, said interconnecting member located closer to the periphery of said first chuck assembly element than any one of a plurality of supports comprising a chuck spacing mechanism, a support determining, at least in part, the spacing between said first chuck assembly element and said second chuck assembly element. 2. The chuck of claim 1 wherein said chuck spacing mechanism includes an insulator having a first surface and a second surface surrounding at least a portion of said chuck spacing mechanism, at least a first portion of a first surface of said insulator in pressing engagement with said second chuck assembly element, at least a second portion of a second surface of said insulator in pressing engagement with said chuck spacing mechanism, where said first portion of said first surface and said second portion of said second surface have an overlapping relationship over at least a major portion of at least one of said first portion and said second portion. 3. The chuck of claim 2 wherein a portion of said insulator between the upper and lower surfaces of said second chuck assembly element includes a portion of a first surface that is free from contact with said chuck spacing mechanism corresponding generally to a portion of an opposing surface that is free from contact with said second chuck assembly element. 4. The chuck of claim 1 wherein said chuck spacing mechanism has exactly three independent supports defining the spacing between said first chuck assembly element and said second chuck assembly element. 5. The chuck of claim 1 wherein said interconnecting member interconnecting said first air path and said second air path in such a manner that a vacuum may be provided from said first air path to said second air path is movable with respect to at least one of said first chuck assembly element and said second chuck assembly element. 6. The chuck of claim 1 further comprising: (a) said lower surface of first chuck assembly element defining at least one recess therein; and (b) a cover plate in overlying relationship to said lower surface of said first chuck assembly element together defining at least a portion of an air path to said upper surface suitable for providing a vacuum to said wafer supported by said upper surface. 7. The chuck of claim 1 further comprising a cover plate in overlying relationship to at least a major portion of a lower surface of said second chuck assembly proximate said chuck spacing mechanism element. 8. The chuck of claim 1 said chuck spacing mechanism includes a generally U-shaped insulator having a first surface in pressing engagement with said upper surface of said second chuck assembly element and a second surface in pressing engagement with a first surface of a generally U-shaped conductive spacer, a second surface of said U-shaped conductive spacer in pressing engagement with said lower surface of said first chuck assembly element. 9. The chuck of claim 1 wherein said chuck spacing mechanism includes an insulator having a first surface in pressing engagement with said upper surface of said second chuck assembly element and a second surface in pressing engagement with a first surface of a conductive spacer, a second surface of said conductive spacer in pressing engagement with said lower surface of said first chuck assembly element, where said first surface of said insulator in pressing engagement with said upper surface is substantially directly opposing and coextensive with said second surface of said insulator in pressing engagement with said conductive spacer. 10. The chuck of claim 1 wherein said chuck spacing mechanism includes an insulator having a first surface in pressing engagement with said upper surface of said second chuck assembly element and a second surface in pressing engagement with a first surface of a conductive spacer, a second surface of said conductive spacer in pressing engagement with said lower surface of said first chuck assembly element, where said first surface of said insulator in pressing engagement with said upper surface is less than one third the thickness of said conductive spacer in pressing engagement with said second surface.
