[0002] The existing chip power channel packaging test method has the following problems:

[0003] Test equipment and cost:

[0004] Expensive equipment: Chip packaging and testing equipment is expensive. For example, the construction of IC packaging and testing laboratories is often difficult for universities to undertake independently and needs to be built together with enterprises. This limits some research institutions and small enterprises from carrying out chip power channel packaging and testing.

[0005] High cost: During the testing process, such as electrostatic discharge (ESD) testing, professional testing equipment and tools are required. The purchase and maintenance costs of these equipment are high, which increases the overall cost of testing.

[0006] Testing technology and methods:

[0007] Technical limitations: With the continuous development of chip packaging technology, such as smaller packaging pitch and higher density, the design and manufacture of test tools such as test sockets have become very difficult. Traditional testing methods may not be able to meet the testing requirements of new packaging forms.

[0008] Single method: The current testing methods mainly focus on electrical performance testing, and the testing methods for the reliability and stability of chip power channels in actual working environments are not perfect enough.

[0009] Test standards and specifications:

[0010] Inconsistent standards: Different chip manufacturers and testing organizations may adopt different testing standards and specifications, resulting in poor comparability and consistency of test results.

[0011] Incomplete specifications: For some new chip power channel packaging forms, the relevant test specifications and standards are not yet complete, and there is a lack of clear test requirements and method guidance.

[0012] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a technical solution that can adapt to a variety of DDR chip power pins for packaging and testing.

[0019] Optional power channel package test items include:

[0020] Test the diode between power supply and ground, test short circuit within power supply group and open circuit between power supply groups.

[0022] All power groups except the one under test are left hanging;

[0023] Send negative current to each power supply group to read back the voltage test;

[0024] If the power pack is short-circuited to the ground, the test result will be -0.1~0.1V;

[0025] If the diode between the power pack and the ground is damaged or broken, the test result will be greater than the normal value.

[0026] Optionally, the short circuit in the testing power supply group is specifically:

[0027] Connect a single pin of the power bank to ground;

[0028] Sending a positive current to read back the voltage to the other pins of the power supply group except the ground pin;

[0029] The power pins in the same group are turned on, so the pin under test should be connected to the ground power pin and grounded. The test result should be -0.1~0.1V;

[0030] On the contrary, if the power pin in the power group is not conducting, the result is open.

[0031] Optionally, the open circuit test between power supply groups is as follows:
