Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optical communication technology, and more specifically to a power supply test fixture for a chip. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, power supply testing structures for silicon photonics chips often employ metal springs or elastic mechanisms to achieve the chip's fixing and limiting function. However, the high hardness of metal materials can easily damage the waveguides on the silicon photonics chip surface. Furthermore, due to the small size of the pads on the silicon photonics chip surface and the small spacing between adjacent pads, traditional probe testing methods for power supply testing often result in probes failing to accurately strike the corresponding pads. This not only affects production efficiency but also requires high precision in the fixtures used for positioning the auxiliary probes, increasing processing costs and hindering mass production. Even if the probe accurately strikes the corresponding pad, the small size of the pads results in near-point contact at the bottom of the probe, creating a sharp structure that can easily scratch the silicon photonics chip surface pads during operation. Summary of the Invention

This fixture not only achieves non-destructive positioning of the chip during power supply testing but also avoids the technical problems of difficulty in positioning the probe on the chip surface pads and scratching the chip surface pads during testing.
