Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of chip detection, and particularly to a chip package leak detection device. Background Art

[0002] In the semiconductor manufacturing industry, the quality inspection after chip packaging is an important link to ensure the product performance and reliability. Among them, the leak detection test is a key process to evaluate the integrity of the chip package. The existing technology generally uses a leak detector to perform leak detection operations on chips, and this process needs to be carried out in a vacuum environment to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the detection. In order to achieve a vacuum environment, the traditional solution usually relies on a vacuum pumping device, which needs to evacuate the detection area before each detection to remove air and other gases that may affect the detection results. Once the detection is completed, air intake operations are required to restore the normal pressure state, facilitating the loading and unloading of chips and the start of the next detection cycle. This cyclic operation of evacuation and air intake not only increases the time cost of the detection process but also affects the continuity and overall efficiency of chip detection.

Both the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 are square box bodies with one end open, and are fixedly connected by a flange plate and bolts; the inside of the upper shell 11 is the upper working position, and the upper and lower parts in the lower shell 12 correspond to the middle working position and the lower working position respectively. A circle of upper positioning platform 111 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the lower end of the upper shell 11, and a circle of lower positioning platform 121 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the middle part of the lower shell 12; the upper positioning platform 111 and the lower positioning platform 121 exactly divide the upper working position, the middle working position, and the lower working position. Sealing strips are adhesively fixed on both sides of the upper positioning platform 111 and the lower positioning platform 121; the sealing strip close to the inside is used to cooperate with the inner box body 4 inside, so that the upper working position, the middle working position, and the lower working position are in a sealed and divided state during detection; the sealing strip close to the outside mainly plays a buffering role.

[0026] Door openings are provided on the front sides of the upper and lower working positions of the outer box body 1, and a sealing door 13 is installed at the door opening for loading and unloading chips. Observation windows 14 are provided on the front side of the middle working position of the outer box body 1 and on the sealing door 13 for observing the state of the chips during detection and waiting for detection.

[0027] A vacuum extraction tube 2 and a vacuum gauge tube 3 are connected to the side wall of each working position in the outer box body 1. The vacuum extraction tube 2 is connected to a vacuum extraction device through a control valve, and the vacuum extraction and air intake operations of each working position can be independently controlled through the vacuum extraction device and the control valve; the vacuum gauge tube 3 is used to monitor the air pressure in the corresponding working position in the outer box body 1 in real time to confirm the vacuum state. The upper and lower working positions of the box body 1 are working positions for loading and unloading chips; the middle working position of the box body 1 is a working position for chip detection, and a connecting pipe 6 is connected to the side wall of the middle working position, and the connecting pipe 6 is connected to a leak detector.

[0028] The inner box body 4 is slidably installed up and down in the outer box body 1. The inside of the inner box body 4 has upper and lower placement positions for placing chips, and the upper and lower placement positions are separated by a partition 41. The driving member 5 drives the inner box body 4 to move up and down in the outer box body 1, controls the inner box body 4 to switch between high and low positions, so that the upper and lower placement positions of the inner box body 4 are in one-to-one correspondence and communication with the upper and middle working positions of the outer box body 1, or so that the upper and lower placement positions of the inner box body 4 are in one-to-one correspondence and communication with the middle and lower working positions of the outer box body 1. In this way, when one placement position in the inner box body 4 is being detected, the other placement position is used for loading and unloading chips, thereby improving the detection operation efficiency.

[0029] Embodiment 2: On the basis of the above Embodiment 1, combined Figures 3 to 6As shown in the figure, the inner box body 4 includes a partition plate 41.

Through grooves are provided on the peripheral side plates and the upper side plate of the upper box 42, and through grooves are also provided on the peripheral side plates and the upper side plate of the lower box 43.

[0030] Embodiment Three: Based on the above Embodiment Two, combined with Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the driving member 5 mainly includes a cylinder body 51 and an electric cylinder 52. The lower end of the cylinder body 51 is open and fixed to the upper end of the outer box body 1, and is communicated with the inside of the outer box body 1. The electric cylinder 52 is fixed at the axial center position of the cylinder body 51, and the moving end at the lower end of the electric cylinder 52 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner box body 4.

Open the lower sealing door 13, install the chip in the lower placement position of the inner box body 4, and then close the lower sealing door 13; the electric cylinder 52 retracts to control the inner box body 4 to reach the upper position. At this time, the partition plate 41 abuts against the lower side of the upper positioning table 111, and the partition plate 41 realizes the sealed separation between the middle and lower working positions and the upper working position in the outer box body 1, as Figure 4 shown in the figure; Start the vacuum pumping device, control the two lower vacuum tubes 2 to work through the control valve, so that the middle working position, the lower working position of the outer box body 1 and the lower placement position of the inner box body 4 reach the vacuum condition; start the leak detector to detect the chip located in the middle working position (the lower placement position of the inner box body 4); While detecting, open the upper sealing door 13, install the chip in the upper placement position of the inner box body 4, and then close the upper sealing door 13; control the upper vacuum tube 2 to work through the control valve, so that the upper working position of the outer box body 1 and the upper placement position of the inner box body 4 reach the vacuum condition to realize the preloading of the chip to be tested; After the chip detection in the lower placement of the inner box body 4 is completed, turn off the leak detector; control the inner box body 4 to move down to the lower position through the electric cylinder 52; at this time, the partition plate 41 abuts against the upper side of the lower positioning table 121, and the partition plate 41 realizes the sealed separation between the middle, upper working positions and the lower working position in the outer box body 1; observe the two vacuum gauges 3 on the upper side, re-determine the internal air pressure, and after meeting the compound conditions, turn on the leak detector to detect the chips located in the middle working position (the upper placement position of the inner box body 4). During the detection, control the intake of the lower evacuation tube 2 through the control valve. After the lower working position is stable, open the lower sealing door 13 and take out the chips in the lower placement position of the inner box body 4; place the new chips to be detected again according to the above steps.
