Testing and high and low temperature calibration of pressure sensor MEMS (micro-electromechanical system) chips are key processes to ensure the reliability and accuracy of these devices in various environments. Therefore, in the current production process of pressure sensor MEMS chips (hereinafter referred to as pressure chips), after the pressure chip is packaged, it needs to be calibrated at high and low temperatures and the pressure test output function needs to be applied. In this calibration and testing process, we need a test fixture that allows the calibration test system and the pressure chip to communicate and read and write data. At the same time, it is necessary to apply the corresponding range of pressure to the pressure chip and place it in a high and low temperature environment for high and low temperature calibration testing.

The output signal of the MEMS pressure sensor chip is tested under different set air pressures, and the quality of the chip is judged based on the difference in the chip output value.

This is very attractive to industries that require a large amount of necessary standardization and repeated testing.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

The present invention can test a variety of MEMS chips on a single tooling, reducing the equipment replacement time and improving the test efficiency. In addition, the integrated ventilation line 13 and the test circuit simplify the operation steps, reduce the possibility of operating errors, and improve the accuracy and reliability of the test. Compared with the traditional test tooling, the present invention provides better adaptability and flexibility through the design of the adjustable chip slot. This integrated design reduces the unnecessary connection and configuration requirements, significantly improving the efficiency of the test process and the accuracy of chip processing. The probe fixing plate group provides a mechanical fixation and electrical connection method to ensure the precise docking of the probe with the chip, so that the test signal can be accurately transmitted to the chip. Through physical crimping, the probe maintains stable contact with the chip PAD to ensure the reliability of data transmission. Ensure that the probe and the chip can maintain a stable physical and electrical connection during the entire test process, even in high and low temperature environments. The presence of the probe fixing plate group greatly enhances the structural stability and durability of the test device. Compared with conventional tooling, the specially designed probe fixing plate group in the present invention realizes a more accurate and reliable probe positioning and crimping mechanism. This design is particularly important for ensuring high-precision testing, especially when performing high-performance testing on MEMS chips. Furthermore, a mechanism for automatically adjusting the probe pressure can be designed to dynamically adjust the crimping force according to the specific needs of the chip, further improving the adaptability and accuracy of the test. The modular probe design allows users to choose the appropriate probe type according to different test requirements. These probes can be quickly replaced to adapt to the physical and electrical characteristics of various chips.
[0032] Among them, a middle sealing ring 3 is arranged between the upper plate 8 and the test circuit board 9, and a lower sealing ring 2 is arranged between the lower plate 7 and the chip slot plate 1; the middle sealing ring 3 and the lower sealing ring 2 keep the chip slot plate 1 and the probe fixing plate group in a sealed state.

The lower sealing ring 2 is a multi-specification detachable component, and the thickness of the lower sealing ring 2 is adapted to the thickness of the MEMS chip, and the initial pressure of the probe for crimping MEMS chips of different specifications is the same.
[0033] The setting of the sealing ring prevents possible gas leakage or external environmental influence during the test process, ensuring the stability and controllability of the test environment. This sealing design is crucial to maintaining the consistency of pressure and environmental parameters, especially when testing MEMS chips that are sensitive to air pressure or environment. The sealing ring not only enhances the reliability of the test, but also improves the accuracy of the test data, because the influence of external environmental changes on the test results is effectively isolated. This sealing design also helps to maintain the long-term stability and durability of the equipment and reduce equipment failures caused by environmental factors.

In addition, a system for automatically detecting and reporting the sealing state can be further developed to monitor and maintain the integrity of the test environment in real time. The contact pressure between the probe and the chip is adjusted by a replaceable lower sealing ring 2 to maintain its consistency when testing chips of different specifications. This design allows the gap between the lower part of the chip slot plate 1 and chips of different thicknesses to be quickly adapted, thereby maintaining sealing and test accuracy. The present design provides a flexible solution to adapt to MEMS chips of various thicknesses, which is very useful in a diverse production environment. In addition, this approach simplifies test preparation and reduces the time and labor required to replace chips.
[0034] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the chip fixture module 100 includes a cover plate 12 disposed on the top of the test circuit board 9, and an upper sealing ring 4 is disposed between the cover plate 12 and the test circuit board 9; a first locking screw group 5 is disposed from the lower plate 7 to the cover plate 12, and a second locking screw group is disposed from the cover plate 12 to the chip slot plate 1. Figure 7 As shown, the ventilation pipeline 13 includes ventilation holes 14 arranged corresponding to each chip slot, and the ventilation pipeline 13 includes an air nozzle 11 arranged on the side of the chip slot plate 1, and the air nozzle 11 is connected to a pressure air source.
[0035] By setting the upper sealing ring 4 between the cover plate 12 and the test circuit board 9, the sealing performance of the device is further enhanced, and the external environment is effectively isolated, especially when high and low temperature tests are performed. The use of the locking screw group not only fixes the various components of the device, but also ensures stability and durability during long-term operation. The addition of the cover plate 12 and the design of its sealing ring significantly improve the resistance of the device to environmental factors, especially in high-precision tests involving temperature and humidity control. In addition, by using the locking screw group to fix the device, the reliability of the device under high-frequency vibration or other mechanical stress is greatly improved. By designing the vent holes 14 corresponding to each chip slot and connecting with the centralized air nozzle 11, uniform pressure supply to each chip is achieved. This design allows precise control of the pressure environment of each chip slot and is suitable for situations where multiple chips need to be tested simultaneously. This centralized air supply design simplifies the complexity of traditional multi-point connections, reduces the leakage points of the air circuit, and improves the overall sealing and reliability of the system. At the same time, this design makes the pressure supply more uniform and ensures the consistency of the test results. The present invention not only optimizes the pipeline layout through the application of the integrated ventilation pipeline 13 and the centralized air nozzle 11, but also improves the test efficiency and accuracy. In addition, the centralized pressure gas source connection design provides convenience for subsequent upgrades, such as the introduction of an intelligent pressure regulation system to achieve more precise pressure control. The materials of the gas nozzle 11 and the ventilation pipeline 13 are also further optimized, using more corrosion-resistant or higher-strength materials to adapt to different test environments and requirements.
[0036] The test circuit board 9 is provided with a connector 10, and an external pressure calibration test system is connected to the connector 10. Through the connector 10 on the test circuit board 9, the device can be connected to the external pressure calibration test system to realize data transmission and command reception. This connection ensures the real-time transmission and analysis of test data, and allows the test parameters to be adjusted from the external system. This design simplifies the configuration and operation of the system, allowing users to easily switch between different test modes and parameters, while ensuring high efficiency and security of data transmission. In addition, through the standardized connector 10, the tooling can be compatible with a variety of different test systems, increasing its versatility and flexibility. The present invention provides a simpler and more efficient external connection solution through an integrated connection design, reduces the complexity of the interface, and improves the convenience of operation and the reliability of the system.
[0037] This embodiment relates to a tooling device for testing a pressure sensor MEMS chip, which is intended to provide an efficient, stable and reliable testing environment to evaluate the performance of the chip during or after its manufacturing process. The tooling device integrates a variety of precision components to form a sealed high-pressure environment and ensure accurate transmission of test signals.
[0038] like Figure 3 ,4 As shown, in this embodiment, the core part of the device is the chip slot plate 1, which is made of aluminum alloy or stainless steel to ensure the strength and stability of the structure. The design of the chip slot plate 1 takes into account the overall dimensions of the chip, and multiple chip slots are processed to adapt to the pressure sensor MEMS chip being tested. The bottom of each chip slot is designed with a vent 14, which corresponds to the pressurized hole on the pressure chip, ensuring that the air pressure can act directly on the chip. In addition, these vents 14 are connected through 8 pipes inside the chip slot plate 1, and finally converge to a pagoda straight metal micro air nozzle 11, which is further connected to an external pressure calibration test system to provide the required pressure for the pressure chip. This design not only achieves accurate pressure delivery, but also prevents air pressure leakage through a closed pipeline system, thereby providing a stable test environment. The use of hexagonal flat-end set screws 15 further ensures the sealing of the ventilation pipe. These screws are installed at the ends of the 8 ventilation pipes inside the bottom of the chip slot plate 1, and are used with sealing glue to ensure the airtightness of the pipe cavity and prevent air pressure leakage. The advantage of this design is that it can maintain good air tightness and ensure test accuracy even under long-term use or different environmental conditions. The pagoda-through metal micro-air nozzle 11 is a key component connecting the internal pipeline with the external pressure control system. It is compact in design and can withstand high pressure, ensuring that the gas passes through the entire system smoothly and is finally delivered to the pressure chip. The use of this metal micro-air nozzle 11 also reflects the advantages of the tooling in miniaturized design, making the overall device more compact and efficient.
[0039] In the test device, the setting of the lower sealing ring 2 is crucial. The annular silicone sealing ring is installed in the annular groove around each chip slot of the chip slot plate 1. When the probe plate is squeezed, it can effectively form a sealing structure around each pressure chip to ensure that the pressure only acts on the pressure chip and will not leak. This sealing method not only improves the accuracy of the test, but also protects the chip from interference from the external environment. In the construction of the test system, the design of the probe and the probe fixing lower plate 7 is indispensable. The overall design of the probe is exquisite, and its size and shape must match the pressure chip being tested and the Pad of the test circuit board 9 to ensure the accurate transmission of the signal. The combined use of the probe fixing lower plate 7 and the cover plate 12 not only ensures the fixation of the probe but also facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the overall device. In addition, the combined use of the upper plate 8 and the upper sealing ring 4 further improves the sealing of the entire test environment and prevents the leakage of pressure during the test process, which is crucial to ensure the accuracy of the test results. The design of the test circuit board 9 allows the signal on the chip to be transmitted to the external test system through the probe, which is the key to the entire device to achieve its function. Through the well-designed connector 10 and connecting wires, the test circuit board 9 can be reliably connected to the external test system, thereby realizing signal reading and analysis.
[0040] In this embodiment, a fixture device for testing a pressure sensor MEMS chip is provided, which is specially designed to meet the testing requirements of the small size and electrical interface of the pressure chip. The fixture device is intended to achieve batch calibration and testing of pressure chips to adapt them to the mass production process. The entire fixture device is exquisitely designed, allowing multiple chips to be tested at the same time, providing each chip with the necessary pressure and electrical connection, and ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of the test.
[0041] In terms of the operation process, the first thing to do is to prepare the tooling device. The staff selects a suitable chip slot plate 1 according to the test requirements. The slot plate is customized according to the outer dimensions of the pressure chip of 331.5mm, and each slot is equipped with a vent 14 corresponding to the vent 14 on the pressure chip. The operator places the MEMS pressure chip on the chip slot plate 1, ensuring that the vent 14 of each chip is aligned with the vent 14 of the slot plate.
[0042] Afterwards, the operator needs to install the sealing ring and the probe plate. The annular silicone sealing ring is placed in the annular groove around the chip slot plate 1. Its function is to seal the chip in the subsequent steps to prevent pressure leakage. The probes on the probe plate correspond to the tiny electrical interface pad on the pressure chip. The probe plate is fixed in the appropriate position to ensure the precise docking of the probe and the chip pad.
[0043] Next, connect the pagoda through the metal micro air nozzle 11. Through the internal pipeline, the air nozzle 11 is connected to the vent 14 of the chip slot plate 1, and the air pressure of the external pressure control system is guided to the vent 14 of each chip. During the pipeline connection process, it is necessary to ensure the sealing of the hexagon socket flat end set screw 15, and use sealing glue to prevent air pressure leakage when necessary.
[0044] After that, the test circuit board 9 is connected to the probe card, and the connector 10 on the circuit board is ensured to match the connection line of the external test system. The operator must check each connection point to ensure the reliability of signal transmission.
[0045] In the actual test process, the external pressure control system is first started and adjusted to the required 100KPA in this example, and the pressure is evenly distributed to each chip through the pagoda direct metal micro air nozzle 11 and the internal pipeline system. During this process, the operator needs to monitor the stability of the pressure to avoid pressure fluctuations affecting the accuracy of the test results.
[0046] With the pressure being supplied steadily, the operator starts the external test system to collect and record the electrical response of the pressure chip under the specified pressure through the signal line connected to the test circuit board 9. The test system will analyze this data, perform the calibration of the chip, and evaluate its performance.
[0047] After the pressure test is completed, it can be further placed in a high and low temperature temperature box. The metal micro-air nozzle below the pagoda is connected to a dedicated pressure air pipe, and then to an external pressure calibration test system; the connector on the test circuit board is connected to the corresponding connecting wire, and then connected to the pressure calibration test system. The tooling in this example can load 32 pressure chips at a time. In addition, the pressure controller can connect multiple such tooling fixtures at a time (according to the test capacity of the pressure calibration test system) through branch pipes, and the pressure calibration test system can connect multiple such tooling fixtures at a time through branch connecting wires to perform high and low temperature calibration and functional testing of multiple pressure chips.
[0048] After the entire test is completed, it is necessary to disconnect one by one, release the pressure, and remove the tested chip from the chip slot plate 1. At this time, the operator needs to carefully check each part of the tooling device to ensure that there is no damage or wear so that the next round of testing can proceed smoothly.
[0049] During the implementation of the present invention, the operator needs to pay attention to the following issues: ensuring air tightness, avoiding pressure leakage, ensuring accurate docking of the probe and the chip pad, and monitoring the stability of the test system. The preferred solution may include using more advanced materials to manufacture the chip slot plate 1 to enhance its durability and stability; or using more advanced probe technology to improve the transmission efficiency and accuracy of the signal.
[0050] The creativity of this solution lies in that it provides an integrated solution that integrates air pressure supply and electrical signal testing, which greatly improves the test efficiency while maintaining the test accuracy.
