[0038] A kind of whole wafer temperature measurement chip batch automatic test method, comprising the following steps: S1, system initialization: The host 21 of the control system 2 is started, the host 21 of the control system 2 starts the self-checking program, and the LED state indicator light on the host 21 of the control system 2 is lit in turn, indicating that each system enters the working state; The vacuum pump group 13 is automatically started, and the vacuum cold box 11 is started to be vacuumized, and the vacuum degree monitoring display shows the current vacuum level in real time; The deep cryogenic temperature measurement module 23 carries out zero point calibration, and the standard thermometer 121 displays the current ambient temperature; The matrix switch and the voltage measurement unit 22 execute the self-test program, check the on-off state of all relay channels and the accuracy of the voltage measurement circuit; After the initialization of each system is completed, the control panel displays "READY" state, indicating that the device can start the test process.
[0039] S2, sample loading Sample preparation stage: the operator takes out the wafer to be tested, performs surface cleaning treatment on the clean bench, ensures that the chip electrode surface is not contaminated, uses a precision microscope to check the integrity of each chip on the wafer to be tested, and records the total number of chips and the initial appearance state; Gold wire probe 141 docking process: the probe connection pad 14 is accurately placed on the surface of the wafer to be tested, and the micro-adjusting mechanism is used to make the gold wire probe 141 in one-to-one contact with the electrodes of each chip. The contact force of the gold wire probe 141 is controlled within the range of 10 mN-50 mN, which ensures good electrical connection and avoids damaging the chip. The electrical connection path is established through the probe connection wire 15 and the vacuum aviation plug 16; Carrier loading: place the wafer to be tested with connected gold wire probes 141 on the carrier table 12, ensure the accurate position of the wafer to be tested through the positioning pin, close the top cover 111 of the vacuum cold box 11, start the vacuum pump set 13 to continue vacuumizing, until the vacuum degree in the box reaches below 10^-4 Pa, at this time the standard thermometer 121 displays the ambient temperature of about 295 K; S3, chip voltage test at room temperature Matrix scanning start: the host 21 of the control system 2 sends instructions to the matrix switch and voltage measurement unit 22 to start the voltage test at room temperature. The matrix switch connects each chip on the wafer to be tested to the voltage measurement circuit in turn according to the preset scanning sequence. Reference data collection: for each chip, the control system 2 applies a standard excitation current (changes the current according to the resistance size), measures the voltage output at room temperature (295 K±2 K), and continuously samples 100 points at a sampling frequency of 1 kHz with a 24-bit high-precision ADC. The average value is taken as the room temperature voltage value of the chip. The test time of each chip is about 0.1 seconds.
[0040] Data processing and judgment: the control system 2 compares the measured voltage value with the preset room temperature qualified range; assuming that the qualified range is 2.500V±0.010V, the chips exceeding this range are marked as "room temperature unqualified", the control system 2 automatically generates a room temperature test report, displays the number of qualified chips, the coordinates of unqualified chips, and identifies the state of each chip on the display screen with different colors; S4, liquid nitrogen impact test cycle Liquid nitrogen injection control: the host 21 of the control system 2 sends an opening instruction to the liquid nitrogen electric needle valve 36, the liquid nitrogen electric needle valve 36 is gradually opened according to the preset program, and the liquid nitrogen enters the cooling copper pipe 122 from the liquid nitrogen Dewar flask 32 through the vacuum heat insulation pipeline, starts to rapidly cool the carrier table 12, and the cooling rate is controlled at 30 K / min to achieve rapid cooling. Temperature monitoring and control: the standard thermometer 121 monitors the temperature change of the carrier table 12 in real time, and the deep low temperature temperature measurement module 23 transmits the temperature data to the control system 2 in real time. When the temperature drops to 77K±1K and stably maintains for 5 minutes, the control system 2 determines that the liquid nitrogen test temperature has been reached. Liquid nitrogen temperature electrical performance test: At the liquid nitrogen temperature, the control system 2 starts the matrix scanning program again to measure the voltage of all chips; due to the large decrease in temperature, the resistance characteristics of the chips change, and the output voltage also changes accordingly; the control system 2 calculates the expected voltage value according to the temperature coefficient formula and compares it with the measured value; the qualified judgment range at the liquid nitrogen temperature is usually set to ±0.5% of the calculated value.
[0041] Temperature rising stage: After the liquid nitrogen test is completed, the liquid nitrogen electric needle valve 36 is closed, and the supply of liquid nitrogen is stopped; the carrier table 12 starts to naturally warm up, and the warming rate is about 20 K / min; when the temperature rises to above 290 K, a voltage test at an intermediate temperature is performed to check the stability of the chips during the temperature cycle; S5, liquid helium impact test cycle Liquid helium precooling preparation: Before the liquid helium test is performed, the cooling system 3 first performs precooling processing; the liquid helium electric needle valve 35 is opened to perform small-flow precooling, so that the temperature of the cooling copper pipe 122 and the related pipeline gradually decreases, thereby avoiding the violent vaporization of liquid helium when it contacts a hot surface; the precooling process lasts for about 10 minutes, and the pipeline temperature is reduced to below 100 K; Liquid helium deep cooling test: The supply of liquid helium is formally started, and the temperature of the carrier table 12 rapidly decreases to 4.2 K±0.5 K; due to the extremely low temperature and high cost of liquid helium, the cooling system 3 adopts precise flow control to minimize the consumption of liquid helium; at the same time, the recovery valve is opened to guide the evaporated helium into the recovery system, and the recovery rate reaches more than 99%; Extremely low temperature electrical performance test: At the 4.2 K liquid helium temperature, the resistance characteristics of the chips change more greatly, and the matrix scanning system performs voltage measurement with higher precision (the measurement precision is improved to 0.1 μV); because the signal change at low temperature is more sensitive, the test judgment standard is adjusted to ±5% of the calculated expected value, thereby ensuring the performance reliability of the chips in an extremely low temperature environment; Liquid helium recovery and temperature rising: After the test is completed, the liquid helium electric needle valve 35 is closed, the helium recovery program is started, and the carrier table 12 starts to slowly warm up; the warming process is divided into three stages: 4.2 K→77 K (natural warming), 77 K→200 K (controlled warming), and 200 K→295 K (natural warming); voltage measurement is performed at each stage to establish a complete temperature-voltage characteristic curve; S6, cycle test and data statistics Multi-cycle impact test: According to the product specification requirements, the control system 2 automatically performs more than 100 liquid nitrogen-liquid helium impact cycles; each complete cycle includes the temperature change process of normal temperature (295 K)→liquid nitrogen (77 K)→normal temperature (295 K)→liquid helium (4.2 K)→normal temperature (295 K); full-chip voltage scanning tests are performed each time the target temperature is reached; Real-time data analysis: Control system 2 calculates the test results of each cycle in real time, establishes a performance database for each chip, and automatically identifies performance deterioration trends. For chips with test results deviating from standard values for multiple consecutive tests, the system marks them as "performance suspicious" in advance. The data analysis module uses statistical methods to calculate the mean, standard deviation, and trend of voltage values for each chip. Fault chip positioning: For chips that fail during cycle testing, control system 2 accurately records the cycle number, temperature conditions, and fault type (such as voltage overrun, open circuit, short circuit, etc.) of the failure. Fault information is displayed in a graphical manner on the wafer map for subsequent analysis and processing. S7, Test result determination and report generation Final qualification: Only if the chip's voltage values at all temperature points remain within the qualified range in all 100 or more impact cycles, it is determined to be a final qualified product. Control system 2 adopts a strict "one vote veto" principle, and any unqualified test will result in the chip being determined as unqualified. Test report generation: Control system 2 automatically generates detailed test reports, including: test basic information (wafer number, test time, operator, etc.); chip distribution statistics (total number, qualified number, unqualified number, and distribution location); temperature cycle curve graph (showing the temperature change process of each cycle); voltage characteristic curve graph (showing the voltage change of a typical chip at different temperatures); fault chip detailed information (fault type, occurrence time, location coordinates); statistical analysis results (qualification rate, main failure mode analysis, etc.). Data storage and traceability: All test data is permanently stored in the control system 2 database, establishing a complete product quality traceability system. Each chip has a unique test record that can be traced back to the specific test time, conditions, and results. S8, System reset and cleaning Test completion processing: After all tests are completed, control system 2 executes an automatic reset program, closes all valves, stops cooling medium supply, and raises the carrier table 12 temperature to room temperature. The matrix switch disconnects all chip connections. The vacuum pump continues to run to maintain the vacuum environment in the cold box for the next test. Sample removal and identification: The operator opens the cold box top cover 111 and carefully removes the completed test wafer. According to the test results, use different colored markers to mark the locations of qualified and unqualified chips on the wafer. The qualified chip area is marked green, and the unqualified chip area is marked red, facilitating subsequent cutting and sorting processes. Device maintenance check: after each batch of wafer test is completed, the control system 2 automatically executes a maintenance check program, the check content includes the contact state of the gold wire probe 141, the sealing performance of the valve, the calibration state of the thermometer 121, the leakage detection of the vacuum system, etc., if the abnormality is found, the control system 2 automatically generates a maintenance reminder, and ensures that the device is always in the best working state.
