Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of chip testing, and in particular to a heat dissipation test socket for a high-power chip. Background Art
[0002] With the popularization of advanced processes (such as 5nm and 3nm), chip integration has been greatly improved, and computing power requirements have increased sharply (such as AI training and graphics rendering), but power consumption has also skyrocketed. For example, the peak power consumption of high-end GPUs (such as NVIDIA H100) can reach 700W, and traditional air cooling can no longer meet the heat dissipation requirements. The application of technologies such as 3D stacking and chiplets has led to localized heat density (such as the power density of hot spots exceeding 1000W / cm 2 ), which puts higher requirements on heat dissipation efficiency.
[0003] Bottleneck of air cooling solution: The upper limit of air cooling efficiency is about 0.2W / cm 2 When dealing with chips with power consumption exceeding 200W, heat sinks are bulky and noisy, making them difficult to deploy in compact test environments.
[0004] Thermal throttling: If the temperature exceeds the chip junction temperature (Tjmax, usually 125°C to 150°C) during testing, the chip will trigger thermal throttling protection, causing test data distortion (such as frequency fluctuation of ±15%) and affecting yield judgment.
[0005] Extended test cycle: Traditional solutions require frequent test interruptions to cool the chip, resulting in reduced production test efficiency (for example, test time increases by more than 30%).
[0006] Advantages of water cooling: High heat dissipation efficiency: The heat dissipation capacity of the water cooling system can reach 1-10W / cm 2 ·K, can remove hundreds of watts of heat in 1 second and maintain the chip surface temperature within ±1℃.
[0007] However, conventional water-cooled test sockets only dissipate heat by taking away the heat from the upper surface of the chip. For chips with higher power consumption, the heat dissipation capacity of the upper surface alone is not enough. Therefore, in order to solve the problem, I conceived a new type of heat dissipation structure to improve the test capability of the test socket. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To overcome the above shortcomings, the present invention aims to provide a high-power chip heat dissipation test socket that can dissipate heat from both the upper and lower surfaces of the chip to be tested, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect during chip testing.

[0031] Among them, such as Figure 8As shown, the manual measurement cover body 1 has a circular mounting hole 15, and a thread ring 16 is installed in the circular mounting hole 15 through the cooperation of the internal thread and the external thread. The bottom of the thread ring 16 abuts against a plane needle bearing 17, and the bottom of the plane needle bearing 17 abuts against the pressure head adapter plate 7. The pressure head adapter plate 7 is installed on the lower end surface of the manual measurement cover body 1 through a guide structure.
