Semiconductor wafer testing is a key link in the semiconductor manufacturing process, and its testing accuracy and efficiency directly affect the final quality and market competitiveness of the product.

[0003] In traditional semiconductor wafer testing technology, dynamic adjustment of probe contact parameters often relies on human experience and manual operation, which has many shortcomings. On the one hand, manual adjustment is difficult to ensure the optimal contact state between the probe and the wafer, and it is easy to introduce test errors. On the other hand, manual operation is inefficient and difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. In addition, traditional testing technology lacks intelligent optimization algorithms and closed-loop control mechanisms, and cannot adjust probe contact parameters according to wafer surface characteristics in real time, resulting in a lack of adaptability and stability in the testing process.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the deficiencies and shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention proposes a semiconductor probe card electrical parameter extraction method and system based on MEMS technology, which realizes the precise mapping and optimization of semiconductor wafer surface features and optimal probe contact parameters, and significantly improves the intelligence level and adaptability of the test.

[0010] S400, electrical parameter extraction: After the probe is adjusted to the optimal contact state, the MEMS probe begins to extract the electrical parameters on the wafer. The probe establishes a stable electrical contact with the pad on the wafer and transmits the measured electrical signal to the signal processing circuit;

[0011] S500, data analysis and output: The signal processing circuit performs real-time analysis on the extracted electrical parameters, evaluates the performance of each test point on the wafer, and outputs the analysis results to the control unit.

[0056] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0057] Embodiment 1:

[0058] A method for extracting electrical parameters of a semiconductor probe card based on MEMS technology includes the following steps: initialization setting, real-time monitoring, dynamic adjustment, electrical parameter extraction, data analysis and output.

[0059] First, enter the initialization setting stage (S100), carefully place the MEMS probe card at the preset position of the test platform, and use the vacuum suction cup device on the test platform to firmly fix the adjusted probe card and the wafer to be tested together. After confirming that the probe card and the wafer are firmly fixed, the operator starts the dynamic sensor and feedback control mechanism integrated in the probe card through the software interface of the control unit. The operator checks the working status of each component one by one through the software interface of the control unit, including the sensor, transmission mechanism, and power supply, confirms that the initialization setting has been completed, and enters the test stage.

[0060] Next, the real-time monitoring stage (S200) is entered, and a high-precision sensor array is deployed on the test platform to ensure that the sensor can accurately cover the key areas of the wafer surface. The sensor is started to continuously scan and monitor the wafer surface, and the minute morphological changes and motion state data of the wafer surface are captured in real time. Since the data directly obtained by the sensor often contains noise and redundant information, the quality and availability of the data are improved through pre-processing methods such as filtering, denoising, and compression. The pre-processed data is transmitted to the control unit in real time using an efficient data transmission channel.

[0061] Subsequently, the dynamic adjustment stage (S300) is entered. The control unit starts in real time and monitors the data stream from the dynamic sensor. After receiving the data, the control unit first performs data verification and preprocessing. Based on the preprocessed data, the control unit uses a pre-trained decision tree model to perform data analysis, grasps the complex mapping relationship between the wafer surface features and the optimal contact parameters, and combines the genetic algorithm to determine the optimal probe contact parameter combination under the current wafer surface state under given test conditions and constraints. According to the analysis results of the decision tree model and the optimization algorithm, the control unit calculates the optimal contact parameters that the probe should adjust under the current wafer surface state. Based on the calculated optimal contact parameters, the control unit generates precise adjustment instructions and sends them to the MEMS probe card in real time through the high-speed communication interface. After the adjustment is completed, the control unit does not stop working, but continues to receive real-time monitoring data from the dynamic sensor.

[0062] Then, the electrical parameter extraction stage (S400) is entered, the MEMS probe card is installed on the test platform, and its position is adjusted so that the probes on it can be accurately aligned with the pads of the semiconductor device to be tested. After confirming that the contact is stable, a predetermined test signal is applied to the MEMS probe through a signal generator. After receiving the electrical signal from the semiconductor device, the MEMS probe, as a sensor, converts these electrical signals into a processable electrical signal form, and transmits the measured electrical signal to the signal processing circuit through a low-noise, high-precision transmission line.

[0063] Finally, the data analysis and output stage (S500) is entered. During the wafer test process, the signal processing circuit captures the electrical parameter values ​​from the MEMS probe card in real time. The captured raw electrical parameter values ​​are preprocessed to eliminate noise, offset and inconsistency. For the electrical parameter values ​​of each test point, statistical analysis is applied to verify the electrical parameter values. By calculating the mean, the average level of the parameter is understood. The mean calculation formula is: Where: X i represents the i-th electrical parameter measurement value, n is the total number of measurements, and the variance is calculated to understand the degree of discreteness of the data: the expression of the variance is: The Shapiro-Wilk test method is used to test the normality of the electrical parameter values ​​at each test point. When the confidence level is 95%, it is determined whether the electrical parameter values ​​obey the normal distribution. The confidence interval calculation formula is: Where: z α / 2 It is the standard normal distribution quantile corresponding to the confidence level. The electrical parameter value of the test point is compared with the expected standard range. If the electrical parameter value of a test point exceeds the range of the confidence interval, it is considered that the performance of the test point is abnormal and there may be a potential fault. The control unit receives the output results of the signal processing circuit, including the electrical parameter value of each test point, statistical analysis results and performance evaluation information. The control unit integrates this information to form a comprehensive wafer performance evaluation report. The control unit automatically generates a formatted test report based on the integrated evaluation results.

[0064] Embodiment 2:

[0065] This example particularly emphasizes the dynamic adjustment of the extraction method:

[0066] The control unit receives data from dynamic sensors in real time. These data include morphological changes, vibration frequency and amplitude on the wafer surface. The sensors are installed on the test platform and can accurately capture tiny changes in the wafer during the test process.

[0067] The received raw data first undergoes data validation and preprocessing steps, including checking data integrity, removing noise and outliers, and data standardization to ensure the accuracy and reliability of subsequent analysis.

[0068] Based on the preprocessed data, the decision tree model is used for data analysis. The decision tree model extracts key features from the data by learning the complex mapping relationship between the wafer surface features and the optimal contact parameters. For each feature, the information gain after splitting is calculated. The formula for information gain is: in: Here, K is the number of categories, p k is the proportion of samples belonging to category k in the parent node, p ik is the proportion of samples belonging to category k in child node i. The feature with the largest information gain is selected as the split feature. By continuously iterating this process, a complete decision tree is constructed. The tree structure is simplified by removing subtrees, and the performance of the decision tree is evaluated using validation data. The decision tree model is used to identify the mapping relationship between surface features and optimal contact parameters.

[0069] After determining the contact parameters that need to be optimized (including the horizontal position, vertical position, angle and contact force of the probe), a genetic algorithm is used for further optimization. These parameters are encoded into a chromosome using real number coding: X = [x, y, z, θ, F], and the initial population P is randomly generated, containing N chromosomes: P = {X1, X2, …, X N}, define the fitness function f(X) to evaluate the quality of each chromosome. If the goal is to minimize the contact resistance R(X), the fitness function is: Among them, α is a weight coefficient, φ(X) is a penalty function used to penalize chromosomes that exceed the limit, and a new population is generated through roulette selection, crossover and mutation operations. The iterative process is repeated until the predetermined number of iterations is reached. The chromosome with the highest fitness value is selected from the current population as the optimal solution, that is, the optimal probe contact parameter combination, which is used to guide the adjustment operation of the probe card.

[0070] Based on the optimization results of the genetic algorithm, the optimal contact parameters that the probe should adjust under the current wafer surface state are calculated. These parameters include the precise position, angle and contact force of the probe.

[0071] The control unit generates precise adjustment instructions based on the optimal contact parameters and sends these instructions to the MEMS probe card in real time. After receiving the instructions, the probe card makes corresponding adjustments to the probe to ensure stable contact between the probe and the wafer.

[0072] After the adjustment is completed, the control unit continues to receive real-time monitoring data from the dynamic sensor, which will be used to verify the adjustment effect and trigger a new round of adjustment process.

[0073] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.
