Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of integrated circuit testing technology, and in particular to a high-temperature integrated circuit in-situ testing system and method. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of fields such as aerospace exploration and crustal drilling, electronic systems are facing increasingly harsh high-temperature operating environments. Therefore, effective and reliable high-temperature testing during chip research and development and production is a crucial step in ensuring the safe operation of electronic systems in extreme environments. Current methods for high-temperature testing of integrated circuits include displacement testing and remote testing.

[0003] One method, the displacement test, involves placing batches of integrated circuit chips under test in a high-temperature environment, such as a high-temperature oven, for static baking at temperatures above 175°C. During testing, the oven is opened, and the heated chips are removed manually or by a robotic arm and quickly transferred to a test socket in an automated testing device at room temperature. Because the test is conducted during the cooling process after the chips have left the high-temperature environment, their temperature is in a continuous decline, causing the measured electrical performance parameters to fail to accurately reflect their characteristics under stable high-temperature conditions. Furthermore, manual operation involves unpredictable chip removal and transfer times, and the rapid process carries the risk of misplacement or chip drop.

[0004] Remote testing methods involve placing the integrated circuit chip under test (ICD) into a test socket, and then placing the entire assembly, including the test socket or test matching board, in a high-temperature environment such as a high-temperature oven for heating. The automated testing equipment is then placed in a room-temperature environment. The chip and testing equipment are connected inside and outside the oven via cables and ribbon cables, enabling the measurement of the chip's electrical performance parameters under high-temperature stable conditions. Traditional oven heating and cooling processes are very slow, severely limiting test throughput and increasing the testing cost per chip. The long cables and ribbon cables connecting the test chip and the testing system introduce significant parasitic capacitance, inductance, and resistance, leading to distortion of the test excitation signal and attenuation and reflection of the chip's output response signal. Consequently, the test results cannot accurately reflect the chip's performance under high-temperature conditions. Summary of the Invention

The second thermocouple is attached to the bottom of the test sub-board. The first and second thermocouples are used for temperature acquisition, and the digital display screen is used to display the temperatures acquired by the first and second thermocouples. The temperature control circuit compares the temperature acquired by the second thermocouple with a temperature threshold, and when the temperature acquired by the second thermocouple is higher than the temperature threshold, it controls the cooling fan to turn on.

[0009] Optionally, the test socket, the test sub-board, and the test motherboard are all made of high-temperature resistant materials.

Furthermore, the ICD is mounted on a test daughterboard via a test socket, which is then plugged into a test motherboard. The test motherboard is then assembled onto the ICD. This system eliminates the need for long cables and ribbon cables, avoiding interference from cable and ribbon cable lengths and improving the accuracy of test data. The heat insulation device isolates the ICD from the high-temperature environment, the test daughterboard, the test motherboard, and other testing equipment, preventing the equipment from being affected by high temperatures.

The bottom temperature of the test sub-board is compared with a temperature threshold. When the bottom temperature of the test sub-board is higher than the temperature threshold, the cooling fan is started or the fan power of the cooling fan is adjusted to dissipate heat from the test sub-board until the bottom temperature is less than or equal to the temperature threshold, at which point the cooling fan is turned off.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0025] Before introducing the embodiments of the present invention, the relevant terms involved in the embodiments of the present invention are first defined as follows: ATE, or Automatic Test Equipment, is a standardized testing system controlled by a computer that can automatically generate, transmit, acquire, analyze, and determine the results of signals from electronic devices and systems. It is primarily used to address the needs for efficient, accurate, and repeatable testing during the mass production phase of the electronics industry and is a core piece of equipment in the semiconductor and electronics manufacturing fields.

[0026] The current mainstream methods for high-temperature testing of integrated circuits are displacement testing and remote testing, which have the following problems: 1. Significant temperature loss occurs during integrated circuit chip testing, making it impossible to accurately test electrical parameters at target temperatures, such as above 175 degrees Celsius. 2. Signal transmission is easily interfered with by factors such as cable and ribbon cable length during testing, resulting in low accuracy of test data. 3. The heating time for the integrated circuit chip under test is long, leading to low testing efficiency. 4. High-performance automatic testing equipment, its test boards, and test sockets cannot operate at target temperatures of 175°C and above for extended periods, making in-situ testing impossible.

[0027] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a high-temperature integrated circuit in-situ testing system and method, which will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-2This invention provides a high-temperature integrated circuit in-situ testing system, comprising: a constant temperature source 100, a test socket 110, a heat insulation device 111, a test daughter board 112, a test mother board 113, an automatic testing device 120, a temperature control device 130, and a heat dissipation device 140. The integrated circuit under test (ICP-T) is mounted on the test daughter board 112 via the test socket 110. The heat insulation device 111 is in contact with the side of the test daughter board 112 where the test socket is mounted, and at least covers the test daughter board 112 except for the test socket. The heat insulation device 111 is used to isolate the heat generated by the constant temperature source, protecting the test daughter board 112, the test mother board 113, and the automatic testing device 120 from high-temperature effects during the high-temperature in-situ testing of the IC-T. The heat dissipation device 140 is used to heat the test daughter board 112. Heat dissipation; the constant temperature source 100 can be a heat flow hood type air heating device or a closed contact heating device. When the constant temperature source 100 is a heat flow hood type air heating device, the constant temperature source 100 includes a heat flow hood 101 and a heater 102. The heater 102 is set inside the heat flow hood 101. The heat flow hood 101 is a cylindrical hollow shell. The bottom of the heat flow hood 101 is provided with an opening. The size of the opening is adapted to the test socket. The heat flow hood 101 is fastened to the outside of the test socket 110, and the heat flow hood 101 and the heat insulation device 111 form a closed space. The heat flow hood of the constant temperature source of different sizes can be replaced according to the packaging form of the integrated circuit under test and the shape of the test socket. The test daughter board 112 is inserted into the test mother board 113. The test mother board 113 is assembled on the automatic test equipment 120.

[0029] In practical work, the heater 102 of the constant temperature source 100 provides a stable high-temperature environment with the target temperature for the enclosed space, and the automatic test equipment 120 performs electrical performance tests on the integrated circuit under test located in the high-temperature environment through the test motherboard and the test daughterboard.

[0030] The test socket, test daughter board, and test mother board in the above structure are all made of high-temperature resistant materials. Specifically, the test daughter board can be made of high-temperature resistant material, such as high-performance epoxy resin; the test socket is equipped with contacts for fixing the integrated circuit under test, and the contacts are alloy springs; the body of the test socket is made of ceramic, thermosetting plastic, or high-performance engineering plastic, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 300℃; the test mother board can also be made of high-temperature resistant material, such as high-performance epoxy resin.

[0031] The heat insulation device in the above structure can be a fiberglass plastic board, an aerogel heat insulation pad, or a ceramic heat insulation block.

[0032] The thermally conductive material in the above structure is the connecting material between the test sub-board and the heat dissipation device, and thermally conductive silicone or thermally conductive grease can be selected.

[0033] The test motherboard in the above structure is a general-purpose core carrier and resource allocation hub. It is used to distribute the excitation signals, power supply voltages, and feedback signals to be collected from the ATE host to the test daughterboard interfaces according to a preset route. Simultaneously, it enables communication with the ATE main control unit, receiving test commands and transmitting test data. The test motherboard integrates standardized daughterboard slots, providing a unified mechanical fixing and electrical connection benchmark for different models of test daughterboards, ensuring quick plug-and-play replacement and improving the versatility of the test system. The test sockets installed on the test daughterboards are designed according to the package form, pin definition, and pin number of the integrated circuit under test (ICD). They enable precise electrical connection with the ICD and, based on the operating characteristics of the ICD, perform signal level conversion, signal type conversion, and signal driving capability enhancement, ensuring that the ICD can normally receive excitation signals and feed back valid signals.

[0034] As an alternative, the heat dissipation device 140 is integrated into the test motherboard 113 and extends through the test motherboard 113 along its thickness direction. The heat dissipation device 140 is in contact with the lower surface of the test daughterboard 112 through a thermally conductive material 114. The lower surface of the test daughterboard 112 is the side opposite to the side where the test socket is installed. The heat dissipation device 140 includes a metal heat sink (not shown in the figure), a heat sink 142, and a cooling fan 141. The first surface of the metal heat sink is in contact with the thermally conductive material. The heat sink 142 is fixed to the second surface of the metal heat sink. The first and second surfaces are arranged opposite to each other. The cooling fan 141 is fixed to the side of the heat sink 142 away from the metal heat sink, and the air outlet of the cooling fan 141 faces the test daughterboard 112.

[0035] Among them, the metal heat sink is made of copper plate with good heat dissipation performance, and the heat sink is made of copper heat sink; the cooling fan is a high-power fan to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the structure outside the heating area of ​​the integrated circuit under test, and ensure the long-term efficient and stable operation of the system.

[0036] As an optional approach, the temperature control device 130 includes a first thermocouple 131, a second thermocouple 132, a temperature control circuit 133, and a digital display screen. The temperature control circuit 133 is disposed on the upper surface of the test motherboard. Both the first thermocouple 131 and the second thermocouple 132 may include multiple thermocouples. The temperature control circuit 133 is connected to the first thermocouple 131, the second thermocouple 132, the digital display screen, and the cooling fan 141. The digital display screen and the temperature control circuit are integrated on the same circuit board. The contact point of the first thermocouple 131 is located on the target surface of the test socket 110, which is the surface of the test socket 110 located in the enclosed space. The contact point of the second thermocouple 132 is located at the bottom of the test daughterboard 112, which can be the lower surface of the test daughterboard or a position within a preset distance from the lower surface, such as... Figure 1As shown, the second thermocouple 132 can be placed on the surface of the heat dissipation device; the first thermocouple 131 and the second thermocouple 132 are used for temperature acquisition, and the digital display screen is used to display the temperature acquired by the first thermocouple 131 and the second thermocouple 132; the temperature control circuit 133 is used to compare the temperature acquired by the second thermocouple with a temperature threshold, and when the temperature acquired by the second thermocouple is higher than the temperature threshold, the cooling fan 141 is controlled to turn on.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the temperature control device monitors the temperature of the test socket through a first thermocouple and the bottom temperature of the test sub-board through a second thermocouple. Simultaneously, it displays the temperature of the test socket and the bottom temperature of the test sub-board digitally. Furthermore, by setting a temperature threshold, it determines the bottom temperature of the test sub-board. If the temperature at the bottom of the test sub-board exceeds the temperature threshold, a temperature alarm is triggered. Additionally, the temperature control device can control the cooling fan by starting, stopping, and adjusting its power based on the actual monitored temperature.

[0038] Figure 1 The aforementioned system utilizes a heat flow hood provided by a constant temperature source and a closed space formed by a heat insulation device. This constant temperature source allows for rapid heating of the integrated circuit under test (ICD) to the target temperature, achieving a heating efficiency far exceeding that of traditional temperature chambers, thus improving testing efficiency. Furthermore, the ICD is mounted on a test daughterboard via a test socket, which is then plugged into a test motherboard. The test motherboard is then assembled onto the ICD. This system eliminates the need for long cables and ribbon cables, avoiding interference from cable and ribbon cable lengths and improving the accuracy of test data. The heat insulation device isolates the ICD from the high-temperature environment, test daughterboard, test motherboard, and automated testing equipment, preventing the testing equipment from being affected by high temperatures. This allows for long-term in-situ testing of the ICD in a high-temperature environment, avoiding temperature loss during ICD testing and further improving the accuracy of test data.

[0039] See Figure 4 This invention also provides a high-temperature integrated circuit in-situ testing method, applied to a high-temperature integrated circuit in-situ testing system, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the method includes the following steps: Step 410: Obtain the target temperature required for the integrated circuit under test; Before conducting the test, the following tasks need to be completed: S1: System assembly, assembling the high-temperature integrated circuit in-situ testing system according to... Figure 1 It is assembled and connected to the automated testing equipment in a certain way.

[0040] S2: Temperature control settings, such as setting the cooling fan to start when the temperature at the bottom of the test board exceeds the temperature threshold by 100°C, and automatically adjusting the cooling fan speed according to the deviation between the temperature at the bottom of the test board and the temperature threshold.

[0041] Step 420: Based on the target temperature, run the high-temperature integrated circuit in-situ testing system to perform electrical performance testing on the integrated circuit under test.

[0042] Specifically, first, the constant temperature source is controlled to heat the enclosed space to the target temperature; then, the temperature control device is run to monitor and adjust the temperature of the test socket and the bottom temperature of the test sub-board; finally, the test program of the automatic test equipment is run to test the integrated circuit under test and output the test results.

[0043] To ensure stable heating temperature, the connection voltage of the integrated circuit under test can be monitored by an automatic testing device. When the connection voltage remains stable for 30 seconds, the test program of the automatic testing device is run to test the integrated circuit under test, output the test results, and record the heating time. By editing the test program of the automatic testing device, a heating time waiting period can be added before the start of subsequent test processes. The heating time can be appropriately increased as needed to balance the time deviation of personnel operating the constant temperature source.

[0044] As an optional approach, the operating temperature control device monitors and adjusts the temperature of the test socket and the bottom temperature of the test sub-board, specifically including the following steps: S21: The temperature of the test socket is collected by the first thermocouple, and the bottom temperature of the test sub-board is collected by the second thermocouple; S22: Compare the temperature of the test socket with the target temperature. When the temperature of the test socket is lower than the target temperature, control the constant temperature source to heat until the temperature of the test socket reaches the target temperature. S23: Compare the bottom temperature of the test sub-board with the temperature threshold. When the bottom temperature of the test sub-board is higher than the temperature threshold, start the cooling fan or adjust the fan power of the cooling fan to dissipate heat from the test sub-board until the bottom temperature is less than or equal to the temperature threshold, then control the cooling fan to turn off.

[0045] As an optional approach, this method can perform batch testing of integrated circuits under test. Specifically, the integrated circuits under test are loaded sequentially, the constant temperature source is started, and the test program of the automatic test equipment is run. After the test program is completed, the constant temperature source is operated to cool down the integrated circuits under test. The temperature can be lowered to the test temperature required for the next integrated circuit under test according to the actual situation, and then the next integrated circuit under test is replaced. The cooling time can be recorded during the process, which is convenient for batch testing.

[0046] The core of this method lies in improving the efficiency of high-temperature integrated circuit testing and reducing the complexity of manual operation. A constant temperature source can rapidly heat the integrated circuit under test to the target temperature, with a heating efficiency far exceeding that of traditional temperature chambers. By determining the temperature stabilization time of the integrated circuit under test within the system, the program waiting time of the automated testing equipment can be set, enabling automatic timed testing. By setting the temperature monitoring threshold of the temperature control module, automatic programmable adjustment of heat dissipation and over-temperature alarms are achieved, simplifying manual operation and improving testing efficiency.

[0047] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0048] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
