Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0019] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in the embodiments of this application should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains. The terms "first," "second," and similar terms used in the embodiments of this application do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Terms such as "comprising" or "including" mean that the component or object preceding the word covers the components or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other components or objects. Terms such as "connected" or "linked" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are only used to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0020] It should be noted that the method in this embodiment can be executed by a single device, such as a controller or server. The method can also be applied in a distributed scenario, where multiple devices cooperate to complete the process. In such a distributed scenario, one of these devices may execute only one or more steps of the method in this embodiment, and the multiple devices will interact with each other to complete the method.

[0021] Currently, CIS chip testing typically categorizes tests into two types based on the testing capabilities of the testing equipment: ATE electrical performance testing and light source image testing. However, since wafer functional testing and image acquisition testing are performed by different testing equipment, the transition from wafer functional testing to image acquisition testing involves conversion processes such as test data conversion, map alignment, and long-distance transport. This cross-platform testing approach has a long testing cycle. During test platform conversion and long-distance transport, data processing becomes discontinuous and time-consuming, potentially leading to uncontrollable quality risks on the wafer under test, reducing testing efficiency and extending operation time.

[0022] Therefore, this application provides a test method and system for connectivity testing of different test devices to solve the above problems.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 This application provides a test method for interconnectivity testing of different test devices. The test devices include a test host and a test slave for performing wafer testing, and include the following steps: Step S100: Configure the transmission control protocol in the server; Step S200: Establish a data transmission channel between the test host and the test slave using the transmission control protocol; Step S300: Connect the test host and the test slave using a general interface bus to establish an instruction transmission channel between the test host and the test slave; Step S400: Use the test host to send test commands to the test slave through the command transmission channel; Step S500: Obtain test instructions using the test slave device, perform tests on the wafer, and obtain the slave device test results of the wafer; Step S600: The slave test results of the test slave are fed back to the test host through the data transmission channel; Step S700: Analyze the test results of the slave device using the test host to complete the connectivity test between the test host and the test slave device.

[0024] In this embodiment, two types of test devices, a master and a slave, are set up. A data transmission channel between the test master and the test slave is established using the transmission control protocol. The control interface of the transmission control protocol in the server is connected to the interface interface of the test master. This allows the two types of test devices to be connected and integrated into a complete test system through the transmission control protocol, which shortens the test delivery cycle and reduces the test cost.

[0025] For example, the test host is an ATE (Electrical Equipment for Testing) device, and the test slave is a Light Source (light source system). The test host is configured with a GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) and acquires electrical performance data from the wafer. The test host processes the electrical performance data and outputs the processing results. In the test slave, an image sensor acquires image data and transmits it to the slave. The slave requires the assistance of the light source system to process the image data. After completing image processing, the slave sends feedback to the test host to generate a shipment test report for quality confirmation before wafer shipment.

[0026] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the ATE electrical performance testing equipment is activated and a test command is sent to the light source system. The ATE electrical performance testing equipment first performs electrical performance testing, and then transmits the electrical performance test data to the server through a transmission control protocol. The test host is configured with the GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) protocol, and the GPIB is used to execute the command call response between the test host and the test slave. The light source system responds to the call command and performs image acquisition testing on the chip. After the image acquisition is completed, the image slave test result is fed back to the ATE electrical performance testing equipment, and the signal transmission task is completed in real time with the ATE electrical performance testing equipment. At the same time, the image slave test result is transmitted to the server for storage.

[0027] In some implementations, in step S200, a data transmission channel between the test host and the test slave is established using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), referring to... Figure 2 This includes the following steps: Step S210: Establish a local area network based on the Transmission Control Protocol. In the local area network, the test host first requests a connection to the server running the Transmission Control Protocol. Step S220: Configure the server's static Internet Protocol address, and establish a connection between the test slave and the server through a handshake to enable data transmission between the test master and the test slave.

[0028] In this embodiment, the test host and test slave are connected to a local area network built on the Transmission Control Protocol. The network environment is identified according to the assigned static Internet Protocol to ensure that the test system in this embodiment corresponds to a unique gateway entry point, avoiding problems such as human-caused disconnection and incorrect connection, ensuring the stability of the network environment, and guaranteeing the security of network data transmission. In the event of sudden situations such as system crashes or network outages, existing test data can be automatically saved, and data being transmitted can be cached and retained. Once mass production is restored, the interrupted transmission can be resumed, avoiding the problem of test data loss.

[0029] Meanwhile, this embodiment utilizes a universal interface bus to execute command call responses between the test host and the test slave. After the test host sends test commands to the test slave, the test slave executes the test and feeds back the test results to the test host for unified processing and analysis. This integrates the test processes of multiple separate test devices into one test, further improving test efficiency and reducing test costs. It also reduces the quality risks caused by long-distance transportation during cross-platform testing, while achieving automatic transmission of test data in cross-platform testing.

[0030] Optionally, the transmission control protocol in this embodiment is TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol).

[0031] In some embodiments, before sending test commands to the test slave via the command transmission channel using the test host in step S400, the following steps are included: Step S310: Perform functional tests on the wafer using the test host and obtain the functional test results of the wafer.

[0032] In this embodiment, before starting the test slave to perform tests on the wafer, the test master first starts the test to perform functional tests on the wafer, and performs preliminary screening of the wafer based on the functional slave test results. Here, by testing whether the core functions of the chip meet the standards (e.g., the chip's electrical performance), it is determined whether the chip can complete the subsequent testing process. If the chip has basic functional problems, the subsequent comprehensive testing cannot continue.

[0033] Therefore, in this embodiment, prior functional testing of the wafer is performed to ensure the accuracy and reliability of subsequent testing processes and to avoid meaningless testing in later stages.

[0034] In some embodiments, step S600, feeding back the slave test result of the test slave to the test host through the data transmission channel, includes the following steps: Step S610: Feed back the slave test results of the test slave to the test host through the data transmission channel, and save the slave test results of the test slave in the first storage path; Step S620: Perform functional tests on the wafer using the test host and obtain the functional test results of the wafer, including: Step S630: Obtain the functional test results of the wafer and save the functional test results of the wafer in the second storage path. The first storage path is different from the second storage path.

[0035] In this embodiment, the slave test results of the test slave device are stored in the first storage path, and the functional test results of the wafer are stored in the second storage path. At the same time, the first storage path and the second storage path are different to distinguish the slave test results of the test slave device and the functional test results of the wafer, which facilitates the subsequent analysis and organization of different test data, thereby further facilitating the judgment of the test quality of the wafer.

[0036] In some embodiments, step S700 involves analyzing the slave test results using the test host, including: The test host is used to analyze the test results of the slave device. The slave device test results include test data in the first format. Obtain the functional test results of the wafer, including: Obtain the functional test results of the wafer, which include test data in a second format.

[0037] Optionally, the first format of test data includes test data in JPG format, and the second format of test data includes test data in STDF format or CSV format.

[0038] In this embodiment, the test host directly obtains the slave test results in JPG format, as well as the functional test results in STDF and CSV formats, and synchronously completes the test data analysis based on the slave test results, which indirectly demonstrates the integrated control of wafer testing and analysis in this embodiment.

[0039] Meanwhile, by directly acquiring test data in JPG, STDF, and CSV formats from the test host, secondary data transfer can be effectively avoided. This not only significantly shortens the time for long-distance data transfer but also further improves overall testing efficiency, avoiding potential data loss or errors during long-distance transfer, thereby significantly reducing the quality risks of wafer testing.

[0040] In some embodiments, after performing functional tests on the wafer using the test host and obtaining the functional test results in step S310, before sending test commands to the test slave using the test host through the command transmission channel in step S400, refer to... Figure 4 This includes the following steps: Step S310: Classify the wafers according to the functional test results; Step S320: Perform failure classification on wafers that fail the functional test; Step S330: The wafer that has passed the functional test is used as the wafer under test, and the test slave device is used to test the wafer under test again.

[0041] In this embodiment, when performing functional testing on the wafer using the test host, a "Fail bin distribute" process is performed on wafers that fail the functional test to filter out wafers whose basic functions do not meet the test conditions. Defect analysis and improvements are then made to these non-compliant wafers to optimize wafer manufacturing and avoid impacting subsequent testing processes. Wafers that pass the functional test are then used as wafers under test (DUT) in the test slave unit to continue testing, thereby improving the testing quality and efficiency of the DUT in subsequent comprehensive wafer testing.

[0042] In some embodiments, in step S330, the wafer that has passed the functional test is used as the wafer under test, and the test slave device is used to test the wafer under test again, referring to... Figure 4 This includes the following steps: Step S331: Based on the test results of the test slave device, the wafers are reclassified. Step S332: Perform failure classification again on the wafers that failed the test; Step S333: Obtain and output the wafer that has passed the test.

[0043] In this embodiment, when performing wafer testing using a test slave, the defect type and cause of the wafer are located by performing fail bin distribution on the failed test wafers, so as to adjust the subsequent test process. At the same time, the wafers that pass the functional test are output to achieve precise control of the test process and ensure that the test closed loop is completed for wafers that meet the test quality requirements.

[0044] In some embodiments, in step S300, connecting the test host and the test slave using a universal interface bus includes: The communication between the test host and the test slave is determined using hexadecimal code values.

[0045] In this embodiment, each hexadecimal code value corresponds to a specific instruction (e.g., 46H for start test and 30H for end test) to improve the clarity of instruction response between the test host and the test slave, avoid communication errors between the test host and the test slave, and further improve the testing efficiency between the test host and the test slave.

[0046] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the analysis data (wafer functional test results) in the test host and the analysis images (wafer slave test results) in the test slave are both stored in the server. The GPIB interface bus is used to transmit instructions between the test host and the test slave, so as to manage the scattered test data in a unified manner, so as to facilitate subsequent data traceability and query. At the same time, it also further improves the security of data storage and avoids the risk of data loss and leakage.

[0047] In some embodiments, in step S400, the test host sends test commands to the test slave via the command transmission channel, including: The test host sends test commands to multiple test slaves through the command transmission channel.

[0048] In this embodiment, the interface interfaces of the test host and multiple test slaves are respectively established with the server. Multiple test slaves are used to perform tests on the wafer, and the slave test results are obtained and stored on the server. Multiple test hosts are started to perform various functional tests on the wafer, and the functional test results are obtained and stored on the server.

[0049] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a test system for interconnecting different test devices, referring to... Figure 5 ,include: The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) configuration module is used to configure the TCP in the server. The data transmission module is used to establish a data transmission channel between the test host and the test slave using the transmission control protocol; The command transmission module is used to connect the test host and the test slave using a general interface bus, and establish a command transmission channel between the test host and the test slave. The test command sending module is used to send test commands from the test host to the test slave through the command transmission channel; The test module is used to obtain test instructions from the test slave device, perform tests on the wafer, and obtain the slave test results of the wafer. The data feedback module is used to feed back the slave test results of the test slave to the test host through the data transmission channel; The results analysis module is used to analyze the test results of the slave device using the test host in order to complete the connectivity test between the test host and the test slave device.

[0050] In this embodiment, an independent IP gateway is built in the local area network through the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to achieve network communication between test devices. This has the advantages of stable connection and reliable data transmission. In this embodiment, by ensuring that the test host and test slave are in the same local area network and configuring the server with a static Internet Protocol (IP) address, the test host acts as a client and initiates a connection request to the server. At this time, the test slave acts as a service listening port, that is, the instruction receiving and feedback subject, and completes a handshake connection with the server. Finally, the communication link built through the TCP enables network interconnection between the test host and test slave, and completes integrated testing of multiple test items.
