[0028] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 The utility model is described in further detail.

[0029] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 , a test tool for wafer packaging is shown in the figure, including a probe station 1, a fixed platform 101 is provided at the bottom of the probe station 1, a hydraulic rod 102 is fixedly installed between the probe station 1 and the fixed platform 101, and the fixed platform 101 is lifted and lowered by the hydraulic rod 102, a glass cover 103 is provided on the top of the probe station 1, a vacuum device 104 is installed on the top of the glass cover 103, an exhaust valve 105 is installed at the top of the glass cover 103 near the vacuum device 104, an air supply device 106 is installed at one end of the glass cover 103, a clamping assembly 2 is installed on the top of the fixed platform 101, the clamping assembly 2 includes a support plate 201, the support plate 201 is located in the middle of the top of the fixed platform 101, and the top of the fixed platform 101 is provided with a supply The receiving groove 202 received by the support plate 201, the bottom of the support plate 201 is connected to a bidirectional threaded rod 204 through a tooth plate 203, the bidirectional threaded rod 204 is rotatably connected to the fixed platform 101, both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 204 are threadedly connected to threaded sleeves 205, a transmission rod 206 is fixed on the top of the threaded sleeve 205, a limiting groove 2061 for sliding the transmission rod 206 is provided inside the fixed platform 101, a clamping plate 207 is provided on the top of the transmission rod 206, a return spring 208 is elastically connected between the support plate 201 and the receiving groove 202, a limiting slide bar 209 is fixed at the corner of the bottom of the support plate 201, the limiting slide bar 209 is U-shaped, and the limiting slide bar 209 is slidably connected to the fixed platform 101;

[0030] When performing a pressure resistance test during the wafer packaging process, the wafer is first placed on the top of the support plate 201.
