DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to facilitate understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. Embodiments of the present application are provided in the drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the application content of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0032] It is understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. used in this application may be used herein to describe various elements, but these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish a first element from another element. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, a first resistor may be referred to as a second resistor, and similarly, a second resistor may be referred to as a first resistor. Both the first resistor and the second resistor are resistors, but they are not the same resistor.

[0033] In the case of using “including”, “having”, and “comprising” described herein, another component may be added unless a clear limiting term such as “only”, “consisting of”, etc. is used. Unless mentioned otherwise, a term in the singular form may include a plural form and should not be understood as being one in number.

[0034] It can be understood that the “connection” in the following embodiments should be understood as “electrical connection”, “communication connection”, etc. if the connected circuits, modules, units, etc. have electrical signals or data transmission between each other.

[0035] It can be understood that “at least one” means one or more, “plurality” means two or more, and “at least a portion of an element” means a part or all of an element.

[0036] When used herein, the singular forms "a", "an", and "said / the" may also include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms "include / comprise" or "have" and the like specify the presence of stated features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof, but do not exclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof. At the same time, the term "and / or" used in this specification includes any and all combinations of the relevant listed items.

[0037] At present, in the reliability test process of flash memory products, in the finished product testing stage, the test machine and sample board are connected by wires, and then the sample to be tested is inserted into the sample board to form a test loop for three-temperature (high temperature, low temperature and normal temperature) testing. Both high temperature testing and low temperature testing are carried out through independent high and low temperature equipment to independently heat up / cool down a single sample to be tested. After the test environment temperature reaches the preset value, the test machine starts testing.

[0038] During each high temperature / low temperature test, when the environmental cover of the equipment is lowered to cover the sample to be tested and reaches the preset ambient temperature, it is necessary to wait for about 3 minutes (the sample fully reaches the target temperature) before starting the test. After the test is completed, the sample to be tested needs to be cooled to room temperature (25°C) for about 30 to 50 seconds before the environmental cover of the equipment can be raised to prevent human damage to the chip at high temperature, or frosting damage to the chip and test sample due to temperature difference at low temperature. After taking out the sample to be tested, put in the next sample to be tested, repeat the test steps, continue testing, put in the next sample to be tested, repeat the above steps, and continue testing.

[0039] In this way, only one sample can be heated / cooled or cooled independently at a time, and only one sample can be tested at a time, which greatly increases the time cost of finished product testing and the labor cost of manually replacing samples. In addition, when using parallel testing, it will cause a great deal of waste and redundancy of the test machine channel resources, significantly reduce the efficiency of finished product testing, and greatly extend the overall progress of the project.

[0040] Based on this, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3The embodiment of the present application provides a chip testing device 100, including a testing machine 110, a testing board 120 and a transfer circuit board 130; the testing machine 110 is used to test a chip to be tested 121 at a preset temperature; a testing board 120 is used to carry a chip to be tested 121, perform functional tests and electrical tests on the carried chip to be tested 121 at different temperatures, and also to feed back the test results to the testing machine 110; the transfer circuit board 130 is connected to the testing machine 110 and at least two testing boards 120, and a plurality of multiplexing pins 131 are arranged on the transfer circuit board 130, and the multiplexing pins 131 are connected to at least two testing boards 120, and are used to transmit the test signal provided by the testing machine 110 to the at least two connected testing boards 120 in parallel.

At present, the relevant chip testing equipment can only perform three-temperature tests (high temperature, low temperature and normal temperature) on a single chip to be tested. After the test environment is heated up / cooled down to the preset temperature, it is necessary to wait for a certain period of time for the chip to fully reach the preset temperature. After the chip to be tested is tested, the test environment changes from high temperature / low temperature to normal temperature, which requires a certain recovery time, and then the chip to be tested is replaced. This prolongs the overall test time, reduces the test efficiency and prolongs the project progress. The chip testing device 100 in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a plurality of multiplexed pins 131 on the adapter circuit board 130, and the test machine 110 and the plurality of test boards 120 are connected through the multiplexed pins 131 to form a test loop.

By testing the plurality of chips to be tested 121 at the same time, the test time is reduced, the test efficiency is improved, the time cost and labor cost of the test are reduced, the overall progress of the project is accelerated, and the utilization rate of the machine is effectively improved.

[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The test machine 110 includes a signal lead-out board 111, and the signal lead-out board 111 includes a plurality of test pads 1111 arranged in rows and columns along a first direction (for example, an OX direction) and a second direction (for example, an OY direction), and different test pads 1111 are used to be respectively connected to different multiplexed pins 131 on the adapter circuit board 130 via wires; the chip to be tested 121 includes a plurality of chip pins 1211, and the plurality of chip pins 1211 of a chip to be tested 121 are respectively inserted into corresponding connection holes (not shown) of a test board 120 to implement testing of the chip to be tested 121.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2-Figure 3 Through the adapter circuit board 130 and the corresponding serial test program, the test machine 110 gives the test signals of the corresponding multiplexed pins 131 in sequence, and then transmits the required test signals to each chip under test 121 through the adapter circuit board 130, thereby realizing the multiplexing of a single pin. After the temperature of the chip under test 121 reaches the preset requirement, multiple chips under test 121 can be tested at the same time and the test results can be returned, thereby saving the waiting time for independent heating / cooling of each chip under test 121 and improving the test efficiency.

[0045] In some embodiments, the test signals transmitted by the test machine to the multiplexed pins of the transfer circuit board may be the same or different.

[0046] It should be noted that the number of chips to be tested that can be connected to the adapter circuit board depends on the number of test pads of the test machine and the pin allocation set according to the chip function in the test serial program; the parallel program instructs the chip test device to perform multiple test tasks at the same time; the serial program instructs the chip test device to perform only one test task at the same time.

[0049] In some embodiments, if the detection pad detects that the amplitude of the power signal on the excitation pad is outside the corresponding amplitude range, the detection pad notifies the tester to provide a compensation power signal; the power signal includes a voltage signal and a current signal.

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4a-4b The power pads 1321 adjacent along the first direction are used to connect the same chip to be tested; the power pads 1321 adjacent along the second direction are used to connect different chips to be tested; the excitation pads S1 adjacent along the second direction are connected; the detection pads F adjacent along the second direction are connected; and the ground pads G adjacent along the second direction are connected.

[0053] In some embodiments, the chip testing device further includes a temperature control cover (not shown), which is disposed corresponding to the test board and is used to perform at least one of the following steps while covering the chip to be tested on the corresponding test board:

[0054] After heating the chip to be tested to a preset first temperature at room temperature, a temperature test is performed on the chip to be tested;

[0056] A temperature test is performed on the chip to be tested at room temperature; the first temperature is greater than the temperature at room temperature, and the temperature at room temperature is greater than the second temperature.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first temperature is 84°C-86°C, for example 84°C, 85°C or 86°C; the second temperature is (-41°C)-(-39°C), for example -41°C, -40°C or -39°C; the temperature at room temperature is 24°C-26°C, for example 24°C, 25°C or 26°C.

[0063] Table 2

[0064]

[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in Table 2, due to the small area of ​​the transfer circuit board, in order to ensure the normal progress of the test and prevent the test circuit from malfunctioning, the channel resource interface of the test machine can be connected to 2-3 test boards through the transfer circuit board, so that 2-3 chips to be tested can be heated / cooled and tested at the same time.
