A multi-probe ring assembly including integral fine probe tips, conductive lines with terminal connection for testing semiconductor devices and a method of construction of the multi-probe ring assembly is described. The method of construction described utilizes the step of etching pits into silicon wafers to produce molds for forming the probe points. Semiconductor machining processes are used to complete the probe ring assembly.
