I think probe pads should be kept out of the core if possible. In some cases, such as automatic placed and routed systems, it is more convenient to use a probe pad cell and let the cell be routed by the P&R tool. If you are doing a hand layout, put the pads outside the core. Make them 50x50 or slightly larger. The size really depends on how much practice you have probing etc. I prefer the pads to be outside the core and somewhere in the 70 - 100 microns square range. This way I have quite a bit of space to work with and I'm not worried about destroying something while moving the probes. Yoo Ho Cho
