AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In semiconductor wafer-level testing, uneven overdrive settings of probe components can lead to decreased testing accuracy and increased risk of chip damage, especially inaccurate overdrive settings in wafer edge regions.

Method used

By acquiring chip layout information and test location information, using preset overdrive determination rules, calculating compensation amount, and adjusting the target overdrive amount of the probe assembly, the uniformity of overdrive amount distribution of the probe assembly in different areas is ensured. The actual overdrive amount is adjusted in combination with contact displacement and pressure feedback to avoid excessive penetration.

Benefits of technology

This achieves a uniform overdrive distribution of the probe assembly on the wafer surface, improving testing accuracy and reducing the risk of chip damage, while ensuring reliable contact between the probe and the wafer.
