[0074] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a chip testing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a chip testing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one specific embodiment, the chip testing device 100 comprises a testing machine 10, a first testing platform 20 and a second testing platform. The testing machine 10 is used to perform functional testing on the chips 200. The first testing platform 20 is arranged on one side of the testing machine 10 and at least one chip 200 is placed on the first testing platform 20. The first testing platform 20 is arranged to move along the front-to-back direction of the chip testing device 100 under control. The second testing platform 30 is arranged on the side of the testing machine 10 away from the first testing platform 20 and at least one chip 200 is placed on the second testing platform 30. The second testing platform 30 is arranged to move along the front-to-back direction under control. The first testing platform 20 and the second testing platform 30 are arranged to move into the testing machine 10 alternately so that the testing machine 10 performs functional testing on the chips 200 on the first testing platform 20 and the second testing platform 30 alternately. Here, the first testing platform 20 and the second testing platform 30 are arranged on opposite sides of the chip testing device 100 respectively.

[0075] This embodiment uses the first testing platform 20 and the second testing platform 30 to enter the testing machine 10 alternately, which reduces the waiting time for loading and unloading. The testing machine 10 performs testing on the chips 200 on the first testing platform 20 and the second testing platform 30 alternately, which is always in the testing state, so the testing efficiency of the chips is improved.

[0076] In some embodiments, the first testing platform 20 and the second testing platform 30 have the same structure. The testing machine 10 is provided with a guide rail 11 below, which extends along the front-to-back direction of the chip testing device 100, i.e. the up-to-down direction in Figure 1 . The first testing platform 20 and the second testing platform 30 are both mounted on the guide rail 11 and can slide along the guide rail 11, so as to enter the testing machine 10 alternately.

[0077] Figure 3 is Figure 1 a schematic structural diagram of the first loading and unloading device 40, the first testing platform 20 and the visual correction mechanism 50 of the chip testing device 100 in Figure 3 . As shown, and referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the chip testing equipment 100 further includes two first loading / unloading devices 40. One first loading / unloading device 40 is disposed on the side of the first test stage 20 away from the test machine 10, and is used to transport the chip under test 200 to the first test stage 20 and remove the chip under test 200 that has completed testing from the first test stage 20. The other first loading / unloading device 40 is disposed on the side of the second test stage 30 away from the test machine 10, and is used to transport the chip under test 200 to the second test stage 30 and remove the chip under test 200 that has completed testing from the second test stage 30. Here, it is equivalent to configuring one first loading / unloading device 40 for the first test stage 20 and the second test stage 30 respectively, so as to transport the chip under test 200 to the corresponding test stage and remove the chip under test 200 that has completed testing from the corresponding test stage. The two first loading / unloading devices 40 extend laterally along the chip testing equipment 100, that is... Figure 1 It extends in the left and right direction. The first test platform 20 and the second test platform 30 are arranged between the two first loading and unloading devices 40, and the testing machine 10 is arranged between the first test platform 20 and the second test platform 30.

[0078] In some embodiments, each first loading / unloading device 40 includes a first slide rail 41 and at least one first loading suction member 42 and at least one first unloading suction member 43. The first slide rail 41 extends laterally along the chip testing equipment 100. The first loading suction member 42 and the first unloading suction member 43 are slidably connected to the first slide rail 41. The first loading suction member 42 is used to suction the chip under test 200 and transport the chip under test 200 to the corresponding first test stage 20 or second test stage 30. The first unloading suction member 43 is used to suction and remove the chip under test 200 that has completed testing on the corresponding first test stage 20 or second test stage 30.

[0079] In some embodiments, the number of the first feeding adsorption member 42 and the first discharging adsorption member 43 is one.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first feeding adsorption member 42 and the first unloading adsorption member 43 have the same structure and the same number. Both the first feeding adsorption member 42 and the first unloading adsorption member 43 have at least one suction nozzle, and each nozzle can adsorb one chip 200 under test. To improve the handling efficiency of the chip 200 under test, multiple nozzles can be used to simultaneously handle multiple chips 200 under test. For example, two, three, four, or five nozzles can be used, and the number of nozzles is selected according to specific needs.

[0081] In some embodiments, multiple chips under test 200 can be placed on the first test stage 20 and the second test stage 30 to perform functional tests on multiple chips under test 200 simultaneously. For example, the first test stage 20 and the second test stage 30 can each test 16 chips simultaneously. Therefore, the nozzles of the first loading suction member 42 and the first unloading suction member 43 can both be set to 4, suctioning 4 chips under test 200 at a time. The first loading suction member 42 can suction 16 chips under test 200 by going back and forth 4 times, thereby completing the loading of chips under test 200. After all the chips under test 200 have been placed, the first test stage 20 or the second test stage 30 enters the testing machine 10 for testing.

[0082] In some embodiments, the chip testing equipment 100 further includes two vision correction mechanisms 50. Each vision correction mechanism 50 corresponds to a first loading / unloading device 40 and is slidably connected to the first slide rail 41 of the corresponding first loading / unloading device 40. The vision correction mechanism 50 is used to adjust the position of the chip under test 200 placed on the corresponding first test stage 20 or second test stage 30. Since the chip under test 200 may move and its position may change during transportation, this embodiment adjusts the position of the chip under test 200 before testing, thereby avoiding inaccurate testing due to position changes and improving the accuracy of the chip under test 200 testing. Here, the vision correction mechanism 50 can be any existing vision correction mechanism 50, and will not be described in detail here.

[0083] In some embodiments, the vision correction mechanism 50 can simultaneously adjust the positions of multiple chips under test 200, thereby improving the testing efficiency of the chips under test 200. For example, when 16 chips under test 200 are placed on the test platform, the vision correction mechanism 50 can adjust the positions of 4 chips under test 200 at a time, and after 4 adjustments, the position adjustment of all chips under test 200 can be completed.

[0084] Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of the first conveying device 61 of the chip testing equipment 100. (See diagram for reference.) Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the chip testing equipment 100 further includes a first transport device 61 and a second transport device 62, both arranged in the front-to-back direction and located on opposite sides of the test machine 10 in the lateral direction. Both the first transport device 61 and the second transport device 62 are used to transport the chip 200 under test in the front-to-back direction. The first loading / unloading device 40 is configured to pick up the chip 200 under test from the first transport device 61 and transport the tested chip 200 to the second transport device 62.

[0085] The embodiment adopts two conveying devices to respectively perform feeding and discharging of the measured chips 200, compared with the technical solution of adopting only one conveying device, the test efficiency of the measured chips 200 can be improved.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first conveying device 61 and the second conveying device 62 are of the same structure and extend along the front-rear direction of the chip testing device 100, that is, the up-down direction in the Figure 1 The first conveying device 61 and the second conveying device 62 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the first feeding and discharging device 40, the first feeding suction member 42 on the first feeding and discharging device 40 can suction the measured chips 200 from the first conveying device 61, the first discharging suction member 43 can suction the measured chips 200 after test and convey the measured chips 200 after test to the second conveying device 62, so that the second conveying device 62 performs discharging.

[0087] Figure 5 is Figure 1 a schematic structural view of the second feeding and discharging device 80 of the chip testing device 100. As Figure 5 indicated, and referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the chip testing device 100 further comprises a feeding machine 71, a discharging machine 72 and the second feeding and discharging device 80. The feeding machine 71 is arranged at the front end of the chip testing device 100 and close to the first conveying device 61, for feeding the measured chips 200. The discharging machine 72 is arranged in parallel with the discharging machine 72 and close to the second conveying device 62, for discharging the measured chips 200 after test. The second feeding and discharging device 80 comprises a second sliding rail 81 arranged along the lateral direction of the chip testing device 100, at least one second feeding suction member 82 and at least one second discharging suction member 83, the second feeding suction member 82 and the second discharging suction member 83 are both slidably connected with the second sliding rail 81, the second feeding suction member 82 is used to convey the measured chips 200 on the feeding machine 71 to the first conveying device 61, and the second discharging suction member 83 is used to convey the measured chips 200 after test on the second conveying device 62 to the discharging machine 72. Here, the feeding machine 71 is used to feed wafers, and the wafers have a plurality of measured chips 200. When feeding the wafers, the gripper grabs the wafer in the basket and pulls the wafer out of the basket, so that the second feeding suction member 82 of the second feeding and discharging device 80 suctions the measured chips 200 on the wafer, thereby performing feeding. The structure of the discharging machine 72 is the same as that of the feeding machine 71, which is not described here.

[0088] In some embodiments, the structure of the second feeding suction member 82 is the same as that of the first feeding suction member 42, and the structure of the second discharging suction member 83 is the same as that of the second feeding suction member 82, which is not described here.

[0089] Referring to Figure 1 The first and second feeding and discharging devices 40 and 80 are arranged in parallel at the front end of the chip testing apparatus 100, and the second feeding and discharging device 80 extends along the left-right direction of the chip testing apparatus 100 and is located at the side of the feeding machine 71 close to the testing machine 10. That is, the second feeding and discharging device 80 is arranged in parallel with the two first feeding and discharging devices 40 and is used for feeding and discharging the tested chips 200. One of the second suction members of the second feeding and discharging device 80 suctions the tested chip 200 from the feeding machine 71 and carries the tested chip 200 to the first carrying device 61. Then the first carrying device 61 carries the tested chip 200 along the front-rear direction of the chip testing apparatus 100 to the first feeding and discharging device 40, which is equivalent to carrying the tested chip 200 from the front end to the rear end of the chip testing apparatus 100. Then the first feeding suction member 42 of the first feeding and discharging device 40 suctions the tested chip 200 on the first carrying device 61 and carries the tested chip 200 to the first test platform 20. Then the vision correction mechanism 50 corrects the position of the tested chip 200 on the first test platform 20, and after the correction is completed, the first test platform 20 moves along the guide rail 11 into the testing machine 10, so that the testing machine 10 performs functional testing on the tested chip 200. During the testing of the tested chip 200 on the first test platform 20, the second test platform 30 can be fed, that is, the first feeding suction member 42 of the other first feeding and discharging device 40 suctions the tested chip 200 to the second test platform 30, and then the vision correction mechanism 50 corrects the position of the tested chip 200. When the first test platform 20 moves out of the testing machine 10, the second test platform 30 moves along the guide rail 11 into the testing machine 10, so that the testing machine 10 performs functional testing on the tested chip 200 on the second test platform 30. It can be understood that the first test platform 20 and the second test platform 30 alternately enter the testing machine 10, which can improve the testing efficiency. After the first test platform 20 moves to the outside of the testing machine 10, the first discharging suction member 43 of the corresponding first feeding and discharging device 40 carries the tested chip 200 on the first test platform 20 to the second carrying device 62, and the second carrying device 62 carries the tested chip 200 along the front-rear direction of the chip testing apparatus 100 to the second feeding and discharging device 80. The second discharging suction member 83 of the second feeding and discharging device 80 suctions the tested chip 200 and carries it to the discharging machine 72 for discharging. When the tested chip 200 on the second test platform 30 is tested, the same discharging step as the first test platform 20 is performed.

[0090] In some embodiments, the first conveying device 61 and the second conveying device 62 each include two third sliding rails 612 arranged in parallel and two tray components 614, each of which is movably connected with one third sliding rail 612 and corresponds to one first loading and unloading device 40, and the tray component 614 has a tray body 611 for placing the tested chip 200. The two tray components 614 are arranged to be moved to the second loading and unloading device 80 alternately to receive the tested chip 200 and transport the tested chip 200 to the corresponding first loading and unloading device 40. Here, the tray body 611 has a plurality of mounting positions for placing the tested chip 200, and the plurality of mounting positions are arranged in an array.

[0091] Compared with the technical solution of arranging only one tray component 614, the embodiment can improve the conveying efficiency of the tested chip 200 and further improve the test efficiency by alternately conveying the tested chip 200 through the two tray components 614.

[0092] When one of the tray components 614 of the first conveying device 61 moves to the second loading and unloading device 80, the second loading and unloading device 80 adsorbs the tested chip 200 and conveys the tested chip 200 to the tray body 611 for loading. After the tray component 614 completes the loading, the tray component 614 is controlled to move along the second sliding rail 81 to the corresponding first loading and unloading device 40. During the movement of the tray component 614, the other tray component 614 can be controlled to move to the second loading and unloading device 80 for loading, so that the loading can be continuously performed, the waiting time for loading can be reduced, and the test efficiency can be improved.

[0093] In a preferred embodiment, each tray component 614 further includes a fourth sliding rail 613 arranged in the longitudinal direction, the fourth sliding rail 613 is slidably connected with the corresponding third sliding rail 612, and the tray component 614 is slidably connected with the fourth sliding rail 613 in the vertical direction. The tray bodies 611 of the two tray components 614 are arranged to move in different height planes.

[0094] The embodiment is equivalent to that the two tray bodies 611 can be arranged longitudinally overlapped, which can make the structure of the conveying device more compact and save arrangement space. In addition, compared with the technical solution of arranging only one conveying component, the embodiment can improve the conveying efficiency of the tested chip 200 and improve the test efficiency by alternately conveying the tested chip 200 through the two tray components 614.

[0095] When one of the tray bodies 611 is in the process of loading, the other tray body 611 can first move to the lower side of the tray body 611 to wait until the tray body 611 finishes loading and moves to the first loading and unloading device 40, and then the other tray body 611 can be controlled to rise along the corresponding fourth slide rail 613 to load.

[0096] In some embodiments, the chip testing device 100 further comprises a first detection device 74 and a second detection device 75. The first detection device 74 is arranged between the loading machine 71 and the first conveying device 61, and the second loading suction member 82 is arranged to convey the tested chip 200 on the loading machine 71 to the first detection device 74, so that the first detection device 74 performs visual detection on the tested chip 200, and the first detection device 74 conveys the tested chip 200 that passes the detection to the first conveying device 61. The second detection device 75 is arranged between the unloading machine 72 and the second conveying device 62, and the second unloading suction member 83 is arranged to convey the tested chip 200 that finishes the test on the second conveying device 62 to the second detection device 75, so that the second detection device 75 performs visual detection on the tested chip 200 that finishes the test, and the second detection device 75 conveys the tested chip 200 that passes the detection to the unloading machine 72. Here, the first detection device 74 and the second detection device 75 are both prior art in the field, and will not be described here.

[0097] In some embodiments, the chip testing device 100 further comprises a waste device 73 arranged between the loading machine 71 and the unloading machine 72, and the second loading suction member 82 and the second unloading suction member 83 are further arranged to convey the tested chip 200 that fails the detection to the waste device 73. Here, the waste device 73 has a waste box, and the tested chip 200 that fails the detection can be conveyed to the waste box.

[0104] Step S600, after the test of the DUT 200 is completed, control the second test platform 30 to move to the outside of the tester 10, and repeat the above steps.

[0105] The embodiment adopts the mode that the first test platform 20 and the second test platform 30 alternately enter the tester 10, reduces the loading waiting time, and the tester 10 alternately tests the DUT 200 on the first test platform 20 and the second test platform 30, and is always in the test state, so that the test efficiency of the chip is improved.

[0106] Figure 7 is a schematic flow chart of a chip test method according to another embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 7 Before step S100, the following steps are further included:

[0107] Step S10, in response to the control instruction of loading, control the two carrier disc components 614 of the first conveying device 61 to alternately move to the second loading and unloading device 80 to sequentially receive the DUT 200 adsorbed by the second loading and unloading suction member 82 from the loading machine 71;

[0108] Step S20, control the two carrier disc components 614 of the first conveying device 61 to alternately move along the corresponding third slide rail 612 to the corresponding first loading and unloading device 40, so that the first loading and unloading suction member 42 of the two first loading and unloading devices 40 respectively adsorbs the DUT 200 on the corresponding carrier disc component 614;

[0109] Step S30, control the first loading and unloading suction member 42 of the two first loading and unloading devices 40 to move along the corresponding first slide rail 41 to convey the DUT 200 to the corresponding first test platform 20 or second test platform 30.

[0110] The embodiment conveys the DUT 200 by the two carrier disc components 614 alternately, compared with the technical solution that only one carrier disc component 614 is arranged, the loading efficiency of the DUT 200 can be improved, so that the test efficiency is further improved.

[0111] In some embodiments, after step S30, the following steps are further included:

[0112] Step S40, control the two visual correction mechanisms 50 to respectively adjust the positions of the DUT 200 on the first test platform 20 and the second test platform 30.

[0113] Since the measured chip 200 can move during the conveying process, the position of the measured chip 200 can change, so the embodiment adjusts the position of the measured chip 200 before the measured chip 200 is tested, so that the situation that the measured chip 200 is not accurately tested due to the change of the position can be avoided, and the accuracy of the test of the measured chip 200 can be improved.

[0116] In step S620, the two tray components 614 of the second conveying device 62 are controlled to alternately move to the second unloading device 80, so that the second unloading adsorption member 83 of the second unloading device 80 adsorbs the tested measured chips 200 on the two tray components 614 in turn.

[0117] In step S630, the second adsorption component is controlled to move along the corresponding second sliding rail 81 to convey the tested measured chips 200 to the unloading machine 72.

[0118] The embodiment conveys the tested measured chips 200 by the two tray components 614 alternately, compared with the technical solution of arranging only one tray component 614, the unloading efficiency of the measured chips 200 can be improved, so that the test efficiency is further improved.
