[0031] During the production process, semiconductor chips need to be tested to detect the circuit conductivity of the semiconductor chips. Generally, a wafer stage testing mechanism is used for testing. In the prior art, a double-station wafer stage testing device is proposed, which directly drives the double-station wafer stage to move up and down through a cylinder or a linear module. However, since the double-station wafer stage is relatively heavy, the cylinder and the linear module are easily damaged as the use time increases. At the same time, the direct connection between the wafer stage and the drive device is likely to cause the semiconductor chip to leak electricity during the detection process, affecting safety.

[0032] In view of the technical problems existing in the prior art, the utility model proposes a wafer table testing mechanism, which drives the cam to rotate through a driving device to drive the lifting body to rise, and uses the pulling force of the elastic telescopic part to drive the lifting body to descend, thereby replacing the traditional cylinder or linear module, and effectively improving the service life of the driving device. At the same time, the wafer table is installed on the fixed plate through an insulating block, and the insulation of the wafer table is good.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4 It can be understood that the wafer table 600 testing mechanism provided by the embodiment of the utility model includes a base 100, a first driving device 200, a guide rail 300, a lifting body 400, a fixing plate 500 and a wafer table 600. Specifically, the first driving device 200 is arranged on the base 100, and the first driving device 200 is provided with a cam 210, and can drive the cam 210 to rotate. The guide rail 300 is vertically arranged on the base 100. The lifting body 400 is slidably arranged on the guide rail 300, and the lifting body 400 is provided with an abutment portion 410, and the protrusion of the cam 210 can rotate to the abutment portion 410 and lift the lifting body 400, and the lifting body 400 is provided with an elastic telescopic member 420, one end of the elastic telescopic member 420 is connected to the lifting body 400, and the other end is connected to the base 100. The fixed plate 500 is arranged on the lifting body 400, and the fixed plate 500 is provided with a mounting portion 510, and the mounting portion 510 is provided with an insulating block 520, and the wafer table 600 is arranged on the insulating block 520. The two wafer tables 600 do not interfere with each other, and the wafer table 600 and the fixed plate 500 are also spaced apart, so leakage is not easy to occur. The first driving device 200 is a servo motor, and the rotating shaft of the servo motor is connected to the cam 210. There are two mounting portions 510, and the two mounting portions 510 are arranged in a horizontal direction to form a duplex station, thereby improving the detection efficiency of the equipment. The preferred elastic telescopic member 420 of the utility model is a tension spring. In other embodiments, the elastic telescopic member 420 can also use a telescopic rod.
