Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of semiconductor equipment technology, and more specifically, relates to a chip loading device and a chip testing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Semiconductor equipment, such as turret-type chip testers, includes a turret conveyor mechanism, which is typically fed by a feeding vibratory plate. The suction component in the turret conveyor mechanism picks up the chip from the feeding vibratory plate in a lifting manner. This type of turret-type chip tester is difficult to use a blue film feeding mechanism to feed the chip because the blue film feeding mechanism includes a support component for carrying the blue film tray and a drive component for driving the movement of the support component. It occupies a large space, and the lifting stroke of the suction component of the turret conveyor mechanism is limited. It is difficult to arrange the blue film feeding mechanism below the turret conveyor mechanism so that the suction component of the turret conveyor mechanism can pick up the chip. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a chip feeding device that can assist the blue film feeding mechanism in feeding the turret transfer mechanism.

[0004] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a chip loading device is provided, including a frame and a picking module.

[0012] The turntable is provided with a first vent hole, a second vent hole, a third vent hole and a fourth vent hole arranged at intervals along a second circular trajectory. The first vent hole, the second vent hole, the third vent hole and the fourth vent hole are all connected to the suction nozzles of the four picking components through the air pipes.

[0013] The first circular trajectory and the second circular trajectory are aligned with each other along the axis of the turntable.

[0014] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the first driving member includes a first motor, a clamp, a first connector and a second connector. The first motor is fixedly connected to the frame, the clamp is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor, and the output shaft of the first motor and the clamp pass through the clearance through hole.

Along the axial direction of the connecting shaft, one end of the second elastic element abuts against the frame, and the other end abuts against the air guide plate, so that the air guide plate abuts against the turntable.

[0018] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the picking component further includes a cam follower, which is connected to one end of the limiting portion along the axial direction of the turntable and close to the frame;

[0019] The second drive component includes a second motor and a cam. The second motor is fixedly connected to the frame, and the cam is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor. The cam is used to contact the cam follower.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0035] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, this invention proposes a chip testing machine, including a blue film feeding mechanism 10, a turret conveying mechanism 20, and a chip loading device 30 as described below. The blue film feeding mechanism 10 is disposed below the chip loading device 30. The turret conveying mechanism 20 includes a turret 201 and a suction member 202. The suction member 202 is connected to the turret 201 and is used to drive the suction member 202 to rotate. The turret 201 is disposed on one side of the chip loading device 30, and the suction member 202 can move to above the chip loading device 30. The chip loading device 30 is used to load the chips on the blue film feeding mechanism 10... The chip is transferred to the pick-up member 202. It should be noted that the chip testing machine may also include an appearance inspection mechanism, an electrical performance testing mechanism, etc. The appearance inspection mechanism is used to inspect the appearance of the chip, while the electrical performance testing mechanism is used to inspect the electrical performance of the chip. This application does not limit this. After the pick-up member 202 of the turret transfer mechanism 20 picks up the chip, the turret 201 drives the pick-up member 202 to rotate, so that the chip is subjected to appearance inspection at the appearance inspection mechanism and electrical performance testing at the electrical performance testing mechanism. The turret transfer mechanism 20 is prior art, and this application will not elaborate on it.

[0036] The blue film feeding mechanism 10 includes an XYZ axis moving module, a blue film seat, a rotating module, a blue film lifting assembly, and a vision positioning device. The blue film seat is connected to the rotating module, which is connected to the XYZ axis moving module. The blue film lifting assembly is located below the blue film seat, and the vision positioning device is located above the blue film seat. The blue film loaded with chips is placed on the blue film seat. The XYZ axis moving module and the rotating module are used to drive the blue film seat to move and adjust its position. The vision positioning device is used to position the chips on the blue film. The blue film lifting assembly is used to push the chips off the blue film. The vision positioning device and the blue film lifting assembly work together to allow the chip feeding device 30 to pick up the chips.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the chip loading device 30 of this application includes a frame 1 and two picking modules 2. The picking modules 2 are arranged vertically on the frame 1. Each picking module 2 includes a picking component 21 and a first driving component 22. The picking component 21 is connected to the first driving component 22 and is used to pick up chips. The first driving component 22 is connected to the frame 1 and is used to drive the picking component 21 to rotate. The rotation axis of the picking component 21 extends horizontally. The picking component 21 of the upper picking module 2 can pick up the chip on the picking component 21 of the lower picking module 2 at a first preset position.

[0038] Specifically, the chip loading device 30 has two picking modules 2 arranged vertically, and chips can be transferred between adjacent picking modules 2. The picking module 2 picks up the chip through the picking member 21, and the picking member 21 is driven to rotate by the first driving member 22 to realize the transfer of the chip. In practical applications, the chip loading device 30 is located above the blue film feeding mechanism 10, and the turret transfer mechanism 20 is located on one side of the chip loading device 30. The suction member 202 of the turret transfer mechanism 20 can move to the chip loading position. Above the device 30, the lowest picking module 2 is used to pick up the chip in the blue film feeding mechanism 10 and transfer the chip upward to the picking module 2 above it. The two adjacent picking modules 2 continue to transfer the chip to the uppermost picking module 2. Finally, the pick-up member 202 of the turret transfer mechanism 20 takes away the chip. That is, the chip feeding device 30 of the present invention, based on at least two vertically arranged picking modules 2, can assist the blue film feeding mechanism 10 in feeding the turret transfer mechanism 20.

[0039] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, the first preset position is the position between the two vertical picking modules 2, where the first picking module picks up the chip on the picking part 21 of the second picking module.

[0040] In other embodiments, the number of picking modules 2 may be three, four or more, and this application does not limit this. When there are two or more picking modules 2, each of the two adjacent picking modules 2 in the vertical direction has a first preset position. Among the two adjacent picking modules 2, the picking module 2 located above is the first picking module, and the picking module 2 located below is the second picking module. The picking component 21 of the first picking module can pick up the chip on the picking component 21 of the second picking module at the corresponding first preset position.

[0041] Based on the chip feeding device 30, the blue film feeding mechanism 10 can be set below the turret transfer mechanism 20. Thus, the blue film feeding mechanism 10 and the turret transfer mechanism 20 of the chip tester are set vertically, reducing the occupancy of horizontal space. The chip tester has the characteristics of small horizontal space occupation and compact structure.

[0042] In this embodiment, the picking module 2 also includes a turntable 23. The picking module 2 has four picking components 21. The four picking components 21 are circumferentially connected to the end face of the turntable 23 around its axis, and the four picking components 21 are equally spaced. The axis of rotation is the axis of the turntable 23. The end of the turntable 23 away from the picking components 21 along its axis is connected to the first driving component 22. By setting the turntable 23, the number of picking components 21 can be set to multiple. During the rotation of the turntable 23, the picking components 21 can pick up the chips one by one, thereby achieving efficient transfer of the chips.

[0043] In this embodiment, the pickup component 21 includes a base 211, a first elastic member 212, and a nozzle 213. The base 211 is connected to the turntable 23 and can slide radially away from the center of the turntable 23. The base 211 has a limiting portion 2111. The first elastic member 212 connects the base 211 and the turntable 23 so that the limiting portion 2111 abuts against the side wall of the turntable 23. The nozzle 213 is connected to the base 211 and is used to pick up chips. The pickup module 2 also includes a second driving member 2. 4. The air path assembly 25 and the second drive member 24 are connected to the frame 1 and are located below the first drive member 22. The second drive member 24 is used to drive the limiting part 2111 to move downward, so as to drive the seat 211 to slide radially away from the center of the turntable 23, thereby driving the suction nozzle 213 to move. The air path assembly 25 is located on the turntable 23 and connected to the suction nozzle 213. The air path assembly 25 is used to make the suction nozzle 213 suck in or blow air. Specifically, a single picking module 2 has four stations, so as to Figure 1 Taking the lower picking module 2 in the current state as an example, the picking component 21 located on the lower side is at the first station, the picking component 21 located on the left side is at the second station, the picking component 21 located on the upper side is at the third station, and the picking component 21 located on the right side is at the fourth station. In practical applications, such as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the second driving member 24 cooperates with the pick-up member 21 at the first station to pick up the chip. The specific process is as follows: the second driving member 24 drives the limiting part 2111 of the pick-up member 21 to move downward, thereby causing the seat 211 to slide radially away from the center of the turntable 23, thereby causing the suction nozzle 213 to move downward to contact the chip. Then, the air passage assembly 25 works to make the suction nozzle 213 suck in air to adsorb the chip, thereby realizing the chip pickup; the upper pick-up module in the two adjacent pick-up modules 2 The chip picking process of the lower picking module 2 and the chip picking of the blue film feeding mechanism 10 by the picking module 2 are both achieved through the above process. After the picking component 21 picks up the chip, during the process of the picking component 21 rotating from the first station to the third station, the air path component 25 keeps the suction nozzle 213 in the suction state to stably adsorb the chip. When the picking component 21 with the chip is located at the third station, the air path component 25 stops working so that the suction component 202 of the picking module 2 or the turret transfer mechanism 20 located above can pick up the chip.

[0044] In addition, such as Figure 3As shown, the first elastic element 212 is a spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the seat 211 and the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting column. The connecting column is fixedly connected to the turntable 23. The spring causes the limiting part 2111 of the seat 211 to press against the side wall of the turntable 23. Its structure is simple and easy to install. The purpose of this structure is to stably connect the seat 211 to the turntable 23, and the seat 211 can move downward under the action of the second driving element 24.

[0045] Furthermore, the material picking component 21 also includes a guide rail and a slider. The guide rail is arranged radially along the turntable 23, the slider is slidably connected to the guide rail, and the seat 211 is fixedly connected to the slider. The arrangement of the guide rail and slider serves to guide the movement of the seat 211, and the structure is stable and reliable.

[0046] In this embodiment, the air path assembly 25 includes an air guide plate 251 and an air pipe 252. The air guide plate 251 has a clearance through hole 251A. The air guide plate 251 is disposed on the side of the turntable 23 along its axis close to the first driving member 22, and the side of the air guide plate 251 facing the turntable 23 abuts against the turntable 23. The power output end of the first driving member 22 passes through the clearance through hole 251A. The side of the air guide plate 251 facing the turntable 23 is provided with a first arc-shaped groove 251B, a second arc-shaped groove 251C, and a third arc-shaped groove 251D. The first arc-shaped groove 251B, the second arc-shaped groove 251C, and the third arc-shaped groove 251D are arranged at intervals around the axis of the turntable 23 along a first circular trajectory 100. On the first circular trajectory 100, the first arc-shaped groove 251B, the second arc-shaped groove 251C, and the third arc-shaped groove 251D are arranged at intervals around the axis of the turntable 23 along a first circular trajectory 100. A first air guide channel 251E is provided between 51C, a second air guide channel 251F is provided between the second arc-shaped groove 251C and the third arc-shaped groove 251D, and a third air guide channel 251G is provided between the third arc-shaped groove 251D and the first arc-shaped groove 251B. The first arc-shaped groove 251B, the second arc-shaped groove 251C, and the third arc-shaped groove 251D are all connected to a fourth air guide channel 251H, meaning there are four fourth air guide channels 251H. The turntable 23 has a first vent 23A, a second vent 23B, a third vent 23C, and a fourth vent 23D arranged at intervals along the second circular trajectory 200. The first vent 23A, the second vent 23B, the third vent 23C, and the fourth vent 23D all pass through an air pipe 252. Each of the four pick-up components 21 has a suction nozzle 213 connected to it, meaning there are four air pipes 252. The first circular track 100 and the second circular track 200 are aligned with the axis of the turntable 23. Therefore, when the turntable 23 rotates, the first vent 23A, the second vent 23B, the third vent 23C, and the fourth vent 23D are all aligned with the first circular track 100. Specifically, the first air guide channel 251E, the second air guide channel 251F, the third air guide channel 251G, and the fourth air guide channel 251H are all connected to a vacuum device via gas delivery pipes. When the four pick-up components 21 are located at four different workstations, the first vent 23A is aligned with and connected to the third air guide channel 251G, and the second vent 23B is aligned with and connected to the first air guide channel 251G. The third vent 23C is directly opposite to and connected to the second air guide channel 251F, and the fourth vent 23D is directly opposite to and connected to the fourth air guide channel 251H in the third arc groove 251D. The arc lengths of the first arc groove 251B and the second arc groove 251C are close to one-quarter of the circumference of the first circular trajectory 100, and the arc length of the third arc groove 251D is close to one-half of the circumference of the first circular trajectory 100. The vacuum equipment uses the third air guide channel 251G to allow the pick-up component 21 to adsorb the chip, and uses the first arc groove 251B and its fourth air guide channel 251H, the first air guide channel 251E, the second arc groove 251C and its fourth air guide channel 251H to stably adsorb the chip during the process of the pick-up component 21 rotating from the first station to the third station.For example, the first vent 23A, the second vent 23B, the third vent 23C, and the fourth vent 23D have the same diameter. Taking the first vent 23A as an example, during the rotation of the turntable 23, the first vent 23A can span and connect the third air guide channel 251G and the first arc-shaped groove 251B, span and connect the first air guide channel 251E and the first arc-shaped groove 251B, and span and connect the first air guide channel 251E and the second arc-shaped groove 251D. 51C, spanning and connecting the second air guide channel 251F and the second arc-shaped groove 251C, spanning and connecting the second air guide channel 251F and the third arc-shaped groove 251D, and spanning and connecting the third arc-shaped groove 251D and the third air guide channel 251G, to ensure the continuous adsorption force of the pickup element 21 connected to the first air vent 23A; similarly, the second air vent 23B, the third air vent 23C, and the fourth air vent 23D all satisfy the above conditions to ensure the continuous adsorption force.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first driving component 22 includes a first motor 221, a clamp 222, a first connector 223, and a second connector 224. The first motor 221 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the clamp 222 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 221. The output shaft of the first motor 221 and the clamp 222 pass through an avoidance through hole 251A. The output shaft of the first motor 221 is fixedly connected to the turntable 23 through the first connector 223, and the clamp 222 is fixedly connected to the turntable 23 through the second connector 224. This ensures that the turntable 23 is stably set. Specifically, both the first connector 223 and the second connector 224 are screws, which have a simple structure, are easy to connect, and have high stability. There is one first connector 223, which fixes the turntable 23 to the side of the first motor 221's output shaft facing the material pickup 21. There are four second connectors 224, which fix the turntable 23 to the side of the clamp 222 facing the material pickup 21.

[0048] In this embodiment, the end of the air guide plate 251 away from the turntable 23 is connected to the frame 1 via four elastic components 3. The four elastic components 3 are spaced apart around the axis of the turntable 23. Each elastic component 3 includes a connecting shaft 31 and a second elastic element 32. The connecting shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and its axis is parallel to the axis of the turntable 23. The air guide plate 251 is slidably connected to the connecting shaft 31. The second elastic element 32 can elastically extend and retract along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 31. One end of the air guide plate 251 is pressed against the frame 1, and the other end is pressed against the air guide plate 251, so that the air guide plate 251 is pressed against the turntable 23. Specifically, the second elastic element 32 is a spring, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting shaft 31. Through the setting of the elastic element 3, the air guide plate 251 can be pressed against the turntable 23, ensuring the sealing performance between the air guide plate 251 and the turntable 23. Furthermore, some commonly used sealing methods in the art can be used to further ensure the sealing performance between the air guide plate 251 and the turntable 23. This application does not limit this.

[0049] In other embodiments, the number of elastic components 3 may be four or more. This application does not limit this, and it is set according to the actual application.

[0050] In this embodiment, the picking component 21 further includes a cam follower 214, which is connected to the end of the limiting part 2111 along the axial direction of the turntable 23 near the frame 1. The second driving component 24 includes a second motor 241 and a cam 242. The second motor 241 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the cam 242 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 241. The cam 242 is used to contact the cam follower 214. Specifically, when the picking component 21 is in the first station, the cam 242 contacts the cam follower 214. When a chip picking operation is required, the second motor 241 drives the cam 242 to rotate so that the limiting part 2111 moves downward. The structure is simple and easy to install. After the picking component 21 picks up the chip, the second motor 241 drives the cam 242 to rotate and reset. The picking component 21 can also be successfully reset based on the setting of the first elastic member 212.

[0051] In addition, the cam follower 214 can follow the contour movement of the cam 242, which is conducive to the smooth operation of the material picking part 21 picking up materials.

[0052] In this embodiment, as Figure 7As shown, the chip loading device 30 also includes a chip detection module 4. The chip detection module 4 includes a camera component, which is disposed on one side of the picking module 2. The camera component is used to photograph the chip on the picking piece 21 at the second preset position, thereby inspecting the appearance of the chip. Specifically, the camera component is used to photograph the chip on the picking piece 21 at the second station in the picking module 2 located above, that is, the second preset position is the second station. At this time, the chip detection module 4 inspects the upper surface of the chip.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the chip feeding device 30 also includes a defective product collection box 5. The defective product collection box 5 is located on one side of the picking module 2, and the picking module 2 is located between the chip detection module 4 and the defective product collection box 5. At this time, the collection port of the defective product collection box 5 faces the fourth station of the picking module 2 located above. If the chip photographed by the above-mentioned camera component has an unqualified appearance quality, then the picking component 21 will not transfer the chip to the suction component 202 of the turret transfer mechanism 20 at the third station, but will instead transport the chip from the above-mentioned collection port to the defective product collection box 5 at the fourth station to recycle the unqualified chip.

[0054] Specifically, the vacuum equipment uses the third arc groove 251D and its fourth air guide channel 251H to stably adsorb the chip when the pick-up component 21 rotates from the third station to the fourth station. When the pick-up component 21 is in the fourth station, the vacuum equipment blows air onto the pick-up component 21 through the third arc groove 251D, its fourth air guide channel 251H, and the corresponding air pipe 252, thereby blowing the chip into the defective product collection box 5 through the collection port.

[0055] In other embodiments, the chip detection module 4 detects the chip on the pick-up piece 21 located at the second station in the pick-up module 2 below. At this time, the chip detection module 4 detects the lower surface of the chip, and the collection port of the defective product collection box 5 faces the fourth station of the pick-up module 2 below.

[0056] Based on the chip detection module 4 and the defective product collection box 5, the chip feeding device 30 of the present invention can not only assist the blue film feeding mechanism 10 in feeding the turret transfer mechanism 20, but also detect the appearance quality of the chip during the chip transfer process, which is beneficial to improving the detection efficiency of the chip testing machine.

[0057] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
