[0002] In the current high-speed development of the chip industry, wafer detection is a crucial link in the chip production process.

The probe card includes a plurality of probes, which realize the transmission of test signals by directly contacting the pads or bumps on the wafer, so as to determine whether the wafer is qualified.

[0003] The probe card itself also needs to be tested. In the testing process of the probe card, the commonly used method is to first fix the probe card on a probe card test motherboard, then place the probe card test motherboard on a probe test system, and then perform performance testing on the probes on the probe card through the probes on the test chuck of the probe test system, so as to ensure that the probe card can work normally when detecting wafers.

[0004] However, in the actual testing process, due to the influence of various factors such as installation errors, the probe card and the test chuck are often difficult to maintain a parallel state.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a schematic view of a first fixing member and a measuring device provided by the embodiments of the present application. As shown in Figure 4 some embodiments, the measuring device 4 comprises a main body and a measuring head 43, and the main body comprises a display part 41 and a measuring rod 42. When the measuring head 43 generates displacement relative to the measuring rod 42, the display part 41 can display the measurement value, i.e. the distance of the displacement of the measuring head 43.

[0081] In some embodiments, the display part 41 can send the measurement value to an electronic device.

[0082] Optionally, the electronic device can acquire the measurement value by acquiring an image of the measuring device 4.

[0083] Optionally, the measuring device comprises a micrometer.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first fixing member 5 comprises a first surface A1 which is in contact with the calibration device 1, a second surface A2 which is in contact with the measuring device 4, and a third measurement through hole 51 for inserting the measurement head 43 of the measuring device 4. Herein, the first surface A1 is opposite to and parallel to the second surface A2.

[0085] Optionally, the first fixing member 5 is a column, for example, the first fixing member 5 can be a prism or a cylinder, etc.

[0086] When the measurement rod 42 of the measuring device 4 is inserted into the third measurement through hole 51, the measuring device 4 is fixed to the first fixing member 5, and the measurement head 43 exceeds the first surface A1. At this time, the main body of the measuring device 4 is located in a plane parallel to the second surface A2.

[0087] In some embodiments, when the measuring device has been fixed to the first fixing member, the control mechanism moves the first fixing member to make the first fixing member drive the measurement head of the measuring device to insert into a first through hole.

[0088] In other embodiments, when the measuring device has been fixed to the first fixing member, the first fixing member is manually controlled to drive the measurement head of the measuring device to insert into a first through hole.

[0089] Optionally, the first fixing member can be placed on the calibration device, or the first surface A1 of the first fixing member is parallel to the surface of the probe card test motherboard which is in contact with the calibration device. Herein, the surface of the probe card test motherboard which is in contact with the calibration device is parallel to the surface of the probe card test motherboard which faces the test chuck. At this time, the main body of the measuring device 4 is located in a plane parallel to the surface of the probe card test motherboard which faces the test chuck.

[0090] In some embodiments, the probe card test motherboard is provided with a through hole corresponding to the position of the first through hole on the calibration device, so that the measurement head of the measuring device is inserted into the corresponding through hole on the probe card test motherboard at the same time when it is inserted into the first through hole, and then the measurement head penetrates the probe card test motherboard and exceeds the surface of the probe card test motherboard which is close to the test chuck, so that the measurement head can contact the test chuck.

[0091] Step S200: control the test chuck of the test device of the probe test system to move, so that the test chuck contacts the measurement head and makes the measurement head produce displacement.

[0092] Optionally, when the first fixing member 5 is placed on the calibration device 1, or the first surface A1 of the first fixing member is parallel to the surface of the probe card test motherboard contacted by the probe card test motherboard, the measurement head 43 contacts the test chuck 23, and thus the plane where the measurement head 43 is located is the plane where the surface of the test chuck 23 is located.

[0093] Step S300: Obtain a first measurement value of the measurement device.

[0094] The first measurement value of the measurement device is the distance between the plane where the surface of the current test chuck is located and the plane where the surface of the probe card test motherboard is located, minus a standard distance, which is the distance beyond the surface of the probe card test motherboard when the measurement head is not in contact with the test chuck.

[0095] Step S400: Control the first fixing member to sequentially insert the measurement head of the measurement device into other at least two first through holes, and sequentially obtain a plurality of first measurement values of the measurement device.

[0096] Step S500: Control the leveling mechanism to adjust the probe card test motherboard to be parallel to the test chuck based on all the first measurement values.

[0097] In some embodiments, when all the first measurement values are not the same value or the difference between every two first measurement values is not less than a first preset difference value, it can be judged that the probe card test motherboard is not parallel to the test chuck, and the leveling mechanism can be controlled to adjust the probe card test motherboard to be parallel to the test chuck based on all the first measurement values.

[0098] In some embodiments, when all the first measurement values are the same value or the difference between every two first measurement values is less than the first preset difference value, it can be judged that the probe card test motherboard is parallel to the test chuck, and the position of the probe card test motherboard does not need to be adjusted.

[0099] In some embodiments, step S500 includes steps S510 to S520.

[0100] Step S510: Calculate a calibration measurement value based on all the first measurement values and a preset calculation method.

[0101] In some embodiments, the calibration measurement value is the average, median, mode, or the like of all the first measurement values.

[0102] Optionally, the calibration measurement value is any one of the first measurement values.

[0103] Step S520: Control the leveling mechanism to adjust the probe card test motherboard to be parallel to the test chuck based on the calibration measurement value.

[0104] As described above, the first measurement value of the measuring device is the distance between the plane where the surface of the test chuck close to the probe card test board and the plane where the surface of the probe card test board close to the test chuck, minus the standard distance, which is the distance between the measuring head and the surface of the probe card test board when the measuring head does not contact the test chuck.

[0105] In some embodiments, the plane where the surface of the test chuck close to the probe card test board is defined as the calibration plane, the plane where the surface of the probe card test board close to the test chuck is defined as the test plane, and adjusting the probe card test board to be parallel to the test chuck means adjusting the test plane to be parallel to the calibration plane.

[0106] In some embodiments, the first difference between the calibration measurement value and all the first measurement values is calculated, the adjustment distance of the leveling mechanism is calculated based on all the first measurement values, and the leveling mechanism is controlled to adjust the probe card test board to be parallel to the test chuck based on the adjustment distance of the leveling mechanism.

[0107] Exemplarily, the adjustment distance of the leveling mechanism can include the adjustment height of the fixed plate vacuum chuck 211.

[0108] In some embodiments, after step S500, it can be verified whether the probe card test board has been adjusted to be parallel to the test chuck.

[0109] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of the calibration device of the probe card test board provided by the embodiments of the present application. As shown in Figure 5 some embodiments, the at least three first through holes include at least three first measurement through holes and a second measurement through hole 10D. The at least three first measurement through holes include a first through hole 10A, a second through hole 10B, and a first through hole 10C. The first measurement through hole is used for inserting the measuring head of the measuring device to obtain the first measurement value. The second measurement through hole is used for inserting the measuring head of the measuring device to obtain the second measurement value.

[0110] In some embodiments, after step S500, the calibration method of the probe card test board further includes steps S501 to S503.

[0111] Step S501: Control the first fixing member to drive the measuring head of the measuring device to insert into the second measurement through hole.

[0112] The content of step S501 refers to the content of step S100.

[0113] Step S502: Obtain the second measurement value of the measuring device.

[0114] Step S502 refers to the content of step S300.

[0115] Step S503: When the difference between the second measurement value and the calibration measurement value is less than the first preset difference, it is determined that the probe card test motherboard is parallel to the test chuck, otherwise the leveling mechanism is controlled based on all the first measurement values and the second measurement values to adjust the probe card test motherboard to be parallel to the test chuck.

[0116] When steps S501 to S503 are performed, the test chuck is stationary, so the calibration plane is fixed. The content of step S503 refers to the content of step S500.

[0117] In this way, it can be ensured that the probe card test motherboard is adjusted to be parallel to the test chuck.

[0153] Step S903: The relative distance between the surface of the test chuck and the surface of the probe card test motherboard facing the surface of the test chuck is determined based on the second movement data and the preset standard length.

[0154] When the surface of the test chuck has contacted the conductive part, the current relative distance between the surface of the test chuck and the surface of the probe card test motherboard facing the surface of the test chuck is the preset standard length.
