The entire wafer is placed on the chuck, and negative pressure is provided by the different-sized, annular vacuum channels on the chuck to adsorb the wafer to be tested. However, after the wafer passes through the corresponding process flow, each unit of the wafer will be diced to form many smaller bare chips of different specifications and sizes. In addition, for products such as carriers (stacked, silicon-based, BGA packaged, single-chip), when these carriers are placed on the traditional chuck at the same time, the traditional vacuum chuck cannot vacuum adsorb the smaller carriers, nor can they be independently controlled, resulting in the traditional probe station being unable to test a single bare chip or carrier or having low test efficiency. In addition, the traditional chuck is made of a single copper gold-plated plate or stainless steel plate, which will have a greater interference on the test results in a complex electromagnetic interference environment, and may even cause serious consequences such as electrostatic breakdown.
