Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of online testing technology, specifically relating to an integrated device of a collaborative arm and an environmental test chamber. Background Technology

[0002] As instruments and equipment become increasingly miniaturized and high-density, the size of electronic packaging structures is also decreasing. Micro-interconnect structures are critical components of electronic devices and are key to ensuring overall reliability. According to statistics from the U.S. Air Force's avionics integrity research, the vast majority of electronic device failures are caused by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and vibration. Currently, common micro-interconnect structures have reached the millimeter scale. Taking BGA packages as an example, common solder ball diameters include 0.6mm and 0.8mm. Literature review shows that high-precision optical measurement technologies, represented by DIC (Digital Interconnect), can effectively meet the displacement and strain measurement requirements of micro-interconnect structures. To understand the displacement and strain of microstructures under various loads, research is needed on complex load simulation technologies suitable for optical measurement, and the development of complex load environment test chambers suitable for optical measurement is required. While test chambers suitable for optical measurement have been developed by institutions such as the University of Maryland, they only have temperature loading capabilities and cannot meet the environmental loading requirements for humidity and vibration. Furthermore, the optical measurement process requires high precision in adjusting the relative position of the specimen and the observation device, and manual adjustment is uncontrollable, making the debugging process time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art. For the reliability research of electronic packaging structures, this invention provides an integrated device of collaborative arm and environmental test chamber, which combines collaborative arm technology with optical testing functions. It has the function of applying temperature, humidity and vibration environmental loads to the test piece and performing online high-precision automated observation, thus providing test means and technical support for the reliability research of electronic packaging structures.

[0004] This invention provides an integrated device for a collaborative arm and an environmental test chamber, comprising a temperature and humidity control system, a vibration control system, a collaborative arm system, and an optical measurement system. The integrated environmental chamber is a testing environment for electronic packaging structures, where temperature, humidity, and vibration stress are applied. The electronic packaging test piece is fixed using a specially designed clamp, which is fixed to a cylindrical platform at the bottom of the environmental chamber.

[0005] The environmental chamber is equipped with viewing windows on the top, front, and right sides. These windows are made of 300*300*4mm single-layer quartz glass with a light transmittance exceeding 90%. Two adjustable-brightness ultraviolet light sources and two adjustable-brightness white light sources are located outside the windows. This ensures a clear optical path from the LDV (Light Detection and Display) and micro-DIC (Distributed Indicator Microscope) instruments to the specimen during environmental loading. The LDV and micro-DIC instruments are connected to a 1.8m long collaborative arm with a repeatability accuracy within 0.04mm.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0007] 1. This invention is used for reliability testing of electronic packaging structures. By designing a mechanical test loading device, test fixture, and circuit board cutting equipment for circuit boards, it facilitates observation of the test and realizes the simulation loading of single / comprehensive environments such as temperature, humidity, and vibration of electronic packaging structures.

[0008] 2. This invention combines collaborative arm technology with optical testing capabilities, providing experimental methods and technical support for reliability research of electronic packaging structures. The collaborative arm is integrated with an environmental test chamber. Attached Figure Description
