Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a system and method for large-scale testing. Background Art
[0002] Today's fine-pitch testing technology mainly uses probe cards to test the pitch limit of about 30-50μm. For micro-ICs, the pitch of the test pads on the micro-ICs has been reduced to less than 13μm, and the traditional probe card can no longer be used for testing. A micro-electromechanical probe card must be used for testing. However, the manufacturing cost of micro-electromechanical probe cards is high.
[0003] On the other hand, when using a traditional probe card to detect ICs on a wafer, each IC must be touched once, and the probe card index time is 1 second. Taking an 8-inch wafer as an example, there are about 44 frames on an 8-inch wafer, and each frame has about 10,000 integrated circuits (ICs). Since each IC must be touched once, it takes more than 100 hours to complete the inspection of a wafer. Therefore, traditional probe cards cannot meet today's high-efficiency inspection needs. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of this, in order to solve the problem that the current fine pitch detection technology cannot meet the low-cost and high-efficiency micro-IC detection needs, the present invention proposes a micro-IC large-scale testing system and method thereof, which reduces the cost of detection equipment by setting test pads on the scribe line on the wafer and the integrated circuit testing system, and improves the detection efficiency by a large-scale testing method.
