Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of semiconductor probes, and specifically relates to a MEMS probe cleaning process. Background Technology

[0002] MEMS probes are mainly used for testing high-end processor chips, GPU chips, and radio frequency chips. In recent years, with the rapid development of new application terminal chips such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and new energy vehicles, the demand for MEMS probes has also grown rapidly.

[0003] However, with the miniaturization, high performance, and high precision of electronic devices, there is an inevitable demand for more probes, finer spacing, and smaller dimensions. As a result, the internal structure of MEMS probes becomes more delicate. Even minor contamination, dust, bumps, or other defects can damage the internal circuitry, causing short circuits or open circuits and ultimately damaging the chip. This places higher demands on the precision manufacturing processes and capabilities of probe manufacturers, making wet cleaning particularly important.

[0004] Wet cleaning is an important step in the precision manufacturing of MEMS probes. Since MEMS probe materials are usually made of alloys of at least two or more materials, and the corrosion resistance of different alloy materials varies, the problem with traditional wet cleaning is that it can lead to changes in the surface roughness of the product and the difficulty in removing edge defects, which in turn can lead to changes in the physical and chemical properties of the product. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a MEMS probe cleaning process that solves the probe cleanliness problem without damaging any original characteristics of the probe product, thereby greatly improving the probe yield and performance stability.

[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved as follows: a MEMS probe cleaning process, comprising the following steps:

[0007] (1) First, heat the acetone solution with a mass concentration of 3%-5% to 80℃-90℃, and then immerse the probe product after it is removed from the machine into the acetone solution and heat it at a constant temperature for 3min-7min to separate the probe from the fixture and remove the probe.

[0008] (2) Place the probe detached from the fixture into a container, then add the first mixture into the container, heat to 40℃-60℃, soak the probe and sonicate for 30min-50min;

[0009] (3) After removing the adhesive, the probe is rinsed with pure water for 5 min-10 min to remove chemical residues on the surface. Then, the probe is placed in the second mixture. The temperature of the second mixture is heated to 50℃-70℃. The probe is immersed in the second mixture and ultrasonically cleaned for 20 min-30 min to remove dirt and particles from the probe surface.

[0010] (4) Place the cleaned probe into a potassium hydroxide solution and use the probe as the anode. Apply a cathode voltage to perform electrolytic degreasing for 10-15 minutes to remove char and oil from the probe edge.

[0011] (5) After electrolytic degreasing, the probe is placed in sodium hydroxide solution and the probe is used as the cathode. An anodic voltage is applied for electrolytic polishing for 20-30 minutes to remove the metal slag on the edge of the probe and the metal protrusions on the surface.

[0012] (6) Repeat step (3);

[0013] (7) Next, overflow the probe with pure water for 5 min-10 min to wash off the chemical residue on the surface, and then place it in an oven at 70℃-90℃ to dry for 10 min-15 min;

[0014] (8) After the probe is dried, remove it from the oven and the cleaning operation is complete.

[0015] This invention employs wet electrolytic cleaning technology.

The probe is electrolytically polished to remove molten metal slag from the product edges and surface metal protrusions.

[0022] As a further improvement of the present invention, in steps (4) and (5), an electrolytic tool is used when electrolyzing the probe. The electrolytic tool includes a rectangular tank made of acrylic. Two parallel horizontal hanging rods are fixed on the tank.
