Detailed Implementation Methods
[0037] To facilitate a better understanding of the purpose, structure, and features of this invention, the invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this is a first embodiment of the probe card of the present invention. The probe card includes a test head 100 and a fixing frame 200. The test head 100 is housed in and locked in the fixing frame 200. The test head 100 is used to test a chip and includes: a plurality of probes 1 (for simplicity, ...). Figures 7-9 Only three probes are shown in the diagram, and from top to bottom, the upper substrate 2, upper guide plate 3, support plate 4, multiple stacked adjustment pieces 5, partition plate 6, lower substrate 7, and lower guide plate 8 are arranged in sequence. The upper end of probe 1 extends out of the upper substrate 2 for contacting a space converter, and the lower end of probe 1 extends out of the lower guide plate 8 for contacting the chip. The upper guide plate 3 has multiple upper guide holes 31 corresponding to probe 1 for probe 1 to pass through. The lower guide plate 8 has multiple lower guide holes 31 corresponding to probe 1 for probe 1 to pass through. The upper substrate 2 has two vertically penetrating relief grooves 21. The support plate 4 has two vertically penetrating through slots 41. The partition plate 6 has two vertically penetrating receiving cavities 61. The lower substrate 7 has two vertically penetrating receiving grooves 71. Each of the relief grooves 21, through slots 41, receiving cavities 61, and receiving grooves 71 is used to receive multiple probes 1. Multiple first screws N1 pass through the upper substrate 2, upper guide plate 3, support plate 4, and partition plate 6 to lock the support plate 4 to the partition plate 6. Multiple second screws N2 pass through the lower guide plate 8, lower substrate 7, and partition plate 6 to lock the lower substrate 7 to the partition plate 6.
[0039] The upper substrate 2 is stacked on top of the upper guide plate 3 and bonded to the upper guide plate 3 (in this embodiment, the upper substrate 2 and the upper guide plate 3 are aligned at their boundaries; of course, in other embodiments, the upper substrate 2 and the upper guide plate 3 may be different in size and their boundaries may not be aligned).
[0040] The support plate 4 and the upper guide plate 3 are combined and fixed together as a whole to strengthen the upper guide plate 3. In this embodiment, the support plate 4 and the upper guide plate 3 are bonded together (of course, in other embodiments, the support plate 4 and the upper guide plate 3 can also be fixed together as a whole by screws). The support plate 4 has an abutment portion 42, which has a locking hole 421 for the third screw N3 to pass through. The abutment portion 42 extends horizontally beyond the periphery of the upper guide plate 3 so that the abutment portion 42 abuts against the fixing frame 200 in the vertical direction, and is locked by multiple third screws N3. The partition plate 5 is fixed in place; the side of the support plate 4 is recessed inward with a groove 43; in this embodiment, the material of the support plate 4 is different from that of the upper guide plate 3, and the material of the support plate 4 is preferably stronger in stress and tensile strength than that of the upper guide plate 3; however, in other embodiments, the material of the support plate 4 can be the same as that of the upper guide plate 3, and the material of the support plate 4 can be metal, ceramic, glass or plastic, and the materials of the upper guide plate 3 and the lower guide plate 8 are the same and can be ceramic, glass or plastic; the upper substrate 2 and the lower substrate 7 are made of the same material as the support plate 4; the material of the partition plate 6 is stainless steel. The thickness of the support part 4 is the same as the thickness of the upper substrate 2 and the lower substrate 7.
[0041] like Figure 7 As shown, the adjustment piece 5 is sandwiched between the support plate 4 and the partition plate 6. The adjustment piece 5 is divided into two halves in the horizontal direction. The outer periphery of the adjustment piece 5 is provided with an inwardly recessed notch 51. The side of the notch 51 has an outwardly protruding pull-out portion 52 (the side closer to the probe is the inner side, and the side farther from the probe is the outer side). The pull-out portion 52 is partially exposed in the groove 43 so that the adjustment piece 5 can be pulled out horizontally when it is removed. In this embodiment, the pull-out portion 52 of different adjustment pieces 5 is provided with a different number of small holes 521 for identifying the adjustment piece 5. Specifically, from top to bottom... The first adjusting piece 5 has one small hole 521, the second adjusting piece 5 has two small holes 521, and so on (of course, in other embodiments, the pull-out portion 52 of the adjusting piece 5 may also be marked with other markings for identification of the adjusting piece 5). The pull-out portions 52 of the multiple adjusting pieces 5 are arranged in a multi-step manner. The adjusting piece 5 also has multiple sliding grooves 53, which are U-shaped. The first screw N1 and the third screw N3 are received in the sliding grooves 53 so that when the adjusting piece 5 needs to be removed, the first screw N1 and the third screw N3 can be used to pull the adjusting piece 5 horizontally along the trajectory of the sliding grooves 53 without disassembling.
[0042] The lower substrate 7 is stacked above the lower guide plate 8 and bonded in alignment with the lower guide plate 8, the lower substrate 7 and the lower guide plate 8 are completely consistent with the size and thickness of the upper substrate 2 and the upper guide plate 3; and the upper substrate 2 and the upper guide plate 3 are arranged in alignment with the lower substrate 7 and the lower guide plate 8 in the up-down direction; the thicknesses of the upper substrate 2, the upper guide plate 3, the support plate 4, the lower substrate 7 and the lower guide plate 8 are all less than the thickness of the partition plate 6.
[0043] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The fixed frame 200 is provided with a frame opening 210 penetrating from top to bottom, the bottom surface of the fixed frame 200 is concave upward to form a recess 220, the recess 220 is connected and surrounds the frame opening 210, the upper substrate 2 and the upper guide plate 3 are accommodated in the frame opening 210, the abutting part 42 of the support plate 4 abuts against the top surface of the recess 220, the partition plate 6 is accommodated in the recess 220, and the fourth screw N4 passes through the recess 220 to lock the partition plate 6 to the fixed frame 200; when the test head 100 is unlocked from the fixed frame 200, the adjusting piece 5 can be removed, and the length of the probe 1 exposed below the lower guide plate 8 is adjusted by removing the adjusting piece 5. Generally, the normal probe 1 is exposed downward by a length of about 12-18 mils, when the probe 1 is shortened due to test loss, when the exposed length of the probe 1 is shortened to 6-8 mils, one adjusting piece 5 should be removed, the exposed length of the probe 1 is increased to maintain 12-18 mils, until the last adjusting piece 5 is removed and the last exposed length of the probe 1 is 6-8 mils, and then the test head 100 is scrapped.
[0044] The assembly steps of the test head 100 and the fixed frame 200 of the embodiment are as follows:
[0045] 1. The lower substrate 7 and the lower guide plate 8 are bonded in alignment and then the lower substrate 7 is placed in alignment on the corresponding position of the partition plate 6 and locked by the second screw N2;
[0046] 2. The lower guide plate 8, the lower substrate 7 and the partition plate 6 are turned over by 180 degrees, and the plurality of adjusting pieces 5 are stacked on the partition plate 6;
[0047] 3. The upper substrate 2, the upper guide plate 3 and the support plate 4 are bonded in alignment, then the support plate 4 is placed on the adjusting pieces 5 in alignment with the partition plate 6 in the up-down direction, and the support plate 4 and the partition plate 6 are locked by the first screw N1 and the third screw N3;
[0048] 4. The plurality of probes 1 are inserted from above the upper substrate 2, and the lower ends of the probes 1 are exposed below the lower guide plate 8;
[0049] 5. The upper guide plate 3 and the lower guide plate 8 are misaligned and offset;
[0050] 6. Finally, the partition 6 is locked onto the fixed frame 200, thereby achieving the locking of the test head 100 and the fixed frame 200.
[0051] like Figures 10 to 11 The second embodiment of the present invention is shown. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the boundary of the support plate 4 is aligned vertically with the upper substrate 2 and the upper guide plate 3 (that is, the surface of the support plate 4 is smaller, and the abutment part 42 and the locking hole 421 are not present). The lower substrate 7 is provided with an extension part 72, which extends horizontally beyond the periphery of the lower guide plate 8. The extension part 72 supports the adjusting piece 5 upward. The extension part 72 has a screw hole 721 through which the third screw N3 passes, so that the extension part 72 in the vertical direction is locked to the partition plate 5 and the fixing frame 200 by a plurality of third screws N3. The side of the lower substrate 7 is recessed inward with a notch 73, and the pull-out part 52 of the adjusting piece 5 is exposed in the notch 73. The adjusting piece 5 is located between the partition plate 6 and the lower substrate 7. The rest of the structure is the same as that in the first embodiment, so it will not be described again.
[0052] like Figure 12 The third embodiment of the present invention is shown. The difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is that the thickness of the support plate 4 in the third embodiment is greater than that of the support plate 4 in the first embodiment, and the partition 6 is eliminated. The lower substrate 7 extends horizontally outward beyond the periphery of the lower guide plate 8, so the structure of the lower substrate 7 is the same as that of the support plate 4 in this embodiment (the materials and thicknesses of the support plate 4 and the lower substrate 7 are the same in this embodiment and the first embodiment, and the lower guide plate 8 is bonded to the lower substrate 7, so the thickness of the lower substrate 7 in this embodiment is also greater than that of the lower substrate 7 in the first embodiment). The lower substrate 7 is locked to the support plate 4 by the second screw N2, and the lower substrate 7 is locked to the support plate 4 and the fixing frame 200 by the third screw N3 and the fourth screw N4 (that is, in the first embodiment, the support plate 4 is not locked to the fixing frame 200, and is not locked to the lower substrate 7 and the lower guide plate 8). The adjusting piece 5 is located between the support plate 4 and the lower substrate 7. The rest of the structure is the same as that in the first embodiment, so it will not be described again.
[0053] like Figures 13 to 15The fourth embodiment of the present application is shown; the fourth embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the adjusting piece 5 has a plurality of outwardly protruding protrusions 54, the protrusions 54 have accommodating grooves 541 for the third screw N3 to pass through (i.e. the third screw N3 is accommodated in the accommodating grooves 541 and not in the sliding grooves 53), the abutting portion 42 of the support plate 4 is in the shape of a plurality of small protrusions horizontally extending outwardly, when the test head 100 is assembled, the protrusions 54 of the adjusting piece 5 are located below the abutting portion 42; the recessed portion 220 of the fixed frame 200 is further provided with an abutting surface 221, the abutting surface 221 is lower than the top surface 222 of the recessed portion 220, the partition plate 6 abuts upwardly against the abutting surface 221, the abutting portion 42 abuts upwardly against the top surface 222 of the recessed portion 220 and locks the support plate 4, the partition plate 6 and the fixed frame 200 together by the third screw N3.
[0054] In summary, the first embodiment and the fourth embodiment of the present application combine the lower base plate 7 and the lower guide plate 8 to form an integral whole to enhance the strength of the lower guide plate 8, combine the support plate 4, the upper base plate 2 and the upper guide plate 3 to form an integral whole to enhance the strength of the upper guide plate 3, extend the support plate 4 so that the support plate 4 can abut against the fixed frame 200 to fix the support plate 4 so that the position of the support plate 4 remains unchanged before and after the adjusting piece 5 is removed; when the fourth screw N4 that locks the partition plate 6 and the fixed frame 200 is removed to unlock the test head 100 and the fixed frame 200, the length of the probe 1 exposed below the lower guide plate 8 is increased by horizontally pulling out the adjusting piece 5, moving the partition plate 6 upwardly and exposing the probe 1 (specifically, Figure 7 The length of the probe 1 exposed below the lower guide plate 8 is L1, Figure 9 The length of the probe 1 exposed below the lower guide plate 8 is L2, L2>L1), to prolong the service life of the probe card.
[0055] The second embodiment of the present application combines the support plate 4, the upper base plate 2 and the upper guide plate 3 to form an integral whole to enhance the strength of the upper guide plate 3, combines the lower base plate 7 and the lower guide plate 8 to form an integral whole to enhance the strength of the lower guide plate 8, extends the plate surface of the lower base plate 7 so that the partition plate 6 can be locked together with the lower base plate 7 and the fixed frame 200; the partition plate 6 abuts against the fixed frame 200 to fix the partition plate 6 so that the position of the partition plate 6 remains unchanged before and after the adjusting piece 5 is removed; when the test head 100 is unlocked from the fixed frame 200, after the adjusting piece 5 is pulled out, the lower base plate 7 moves upwardly during the process of relocking the test head 100 and the fixed frame 200, to increase the length of the probe 1 exposed below the lower guide plate 8 to prolong the service life of the probe card.
[0056] The third embodiment of the present application enhances the strength of the upper guide plate 3 by combining and fixing the support plate 4, the upper substrate 2 and the upper guide plate 3 as a whole, enhances the strength of the lower guide plate 8 by combining and fixing the lower substrate 7 and the lower guide plate 8 as a whole, extends the support plate 4 so that the support plate 4 can be abutted against the fixing frame 200, thereby fixing the support plate 4 so that the position of the support plate 4 remains unchanged before and after the removal of the adjusting piece 5, extends the lower substrate 7 so that the lower substrate 7 can be locked with the support plate 4 and the fixing frame 200 through the third screw N3, and when the fourth screw N4 that locks the support plate 4 and the fixing frame 200 is removed, the third screw N3 makes the test head 100 and the fixing frame 200 unlocked, and by horizontally pulling out the adjusting piece 5, the lower substrate 7 is moved upward, the length of the probe 1 exposed from the lower guide plate 8 is increased, thereby prolonging the service life of the probe card.
