Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of semiconductor packaging, in particular to a probe card needle pressure impedance test table. Background Art

[0002] Semiconductor CP testing is an important part of the semiconductor chip manufacturing process. Its main purpose is to test the function and electrical parameters of the bare chip on the wafer by piercing the chip pins with probe cards before chip packaging, so as to screen out invalid chips as much as possible and save packaging costs. Needle pressure plays an important role in CP testing. Too little needle pressure will lead to poor contact; too much needle pressure will cause needle marks, and in severe cases, it will pierce the wafer, and at the same time cause the needle card to wear out too quickly.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to perform needle pressure and impedance tests on the probe card before testing the wafer, measure whether the impedance is within the approved range according to the test OD requirements, and quickly and accurately locate and repair certain needles with poor contact.

[0004] The existing measurement probe card uses the Ω gear of a multimeter, one end is pressed on the gold-plated point of the substrate, and the other end is used to touch the needle tip of the needle card with a small needle tip, and the digital display shows the resistance value. The resistance data measured in this way is very unstable, and the needle pressure value cannot be measured, so the contact impedance cannot be measured according to the test OD. The impedance can only be tested in a static state, and the probe card verification effect is poor.

[0005] In addition, since the wafer-level test probe card is extremely small, it is necessary to complete the docking of the test pins with each needle of the probe card under a microscope. The existing needle pressure measurement table has a structure where the probe card is on top and the measuring pin is on the bottom during testing. The disadvantage is that some probe cards do not have holes on the back, which blocks the view from the top down of the microscope. When docking, there is a risk of the needle tip being bent. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to provide a probe card needle pressure impedance test platform, which can increase the line of sight of the probe card and the test top needle, and improve the test efficiency and accuracy.

[0008] The detection mechanism includes a connecting plate, a ejector pin, and a display panel. A through hole is provided in the middle of the connecting plate. The ejector pin is connected to the bottom of the connecting plate and is located below the through hole. The ejector pin is in a "Z" shape. The display panel is connected to the ejector pin.

[0009] As a further improvement of the utility model, the positioning mechanism consists of three positioning components, which include a positioning frame and an adjusting screw.

The loading table is connected to the positioning frame of one of the horizontally arranged positioning components, and the three positioning components are connected in sequence through the corresponding adjusting screws.

[0012] Furthermore, the connector is provided with a plurality of ejector pins.

[0013] The utility model discloses a probe card needle pressure impedance test table. The probe card is placed on a material placement table with each needle of the probe card facing upward. The operator observes from top to bottom through a microscope. The material placement table realizes three-way adjustment through a positioning mechanism. The needle to be tested is connected to the ejector pin. Subsequently, the needle continues to rise to the target test parameter, and the needle pressure value is obtained through the numerical change of the display panel. Subsequently, the other end of the display panel is connected to other wires of the ejector pin, and the impedance value immediately appears on the display panel.

[0022] The specific implementation of the utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a probe card needle pressure impedance test station of the utility model comprises a material placement table 1, a positioning mechanism 2, a detection mechanism 3, a microscope 4, and a frame 5; the material placement table 1 is connected to the positioning mechanism 2, the detection mechanism 3 is located between the microscope 4 and the material placement table 1 through the frame 5, and the material placement table 1 is located below the microscope 4;

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the positioning mechanism 2 is composed of three positioning components 21, and the positioning components 21 include a positioning frame 22 and an adjusting screw 24. Two positioning components 21 are horizontally arranged, and the other positioning component 21 is vertically arranged. The three positioning components 21 are perpendicular to each other, and the loading table 1 is connected to the positioning frame 22 of one of the horizontally arranged positioning components 21, and the three positioning components 21 are connected in sequence through corresponding adjusting screws 24.

[0025] The positioning assembly 21 also includes a slider 25, and the positioning frame 22 is provided with a guide groove 23. The material placement table 1 is connected to the positioning frame 22 of one of the horizontally arranged positioning assemblies 21 through the corresponding slider 25. The positioning frames 22 of the three positioning assemblies 21 are all connected to the corresponding adjusting screw 24 through the slider 25, and the slider 25 is located in the guide groove 23.

[0026] The material placement table 1 is used to place the probe card 6 to be tested. The three positioning components 21 can realize the horizontal movement and lifting of the probe card 6, which is convenient for the probe card 6 to be docked with the detection mechanism 3 under the microscope. By rotating the adjusting screw 24, the slider 25 connected thereto can slide along the corresponding guide groove 23, and the guide groove 23 plays a guiding role; the adjusting screw 24 can be the existing micrometer precision to achieve a minimum reading of 0.5 microns, and the positioning error of the material placement table 1 is controlled within the range of ±1 micron.

[0027] like Figure 3-4As shown, the detection mechanism 3 includes a connecting plate 31, a ejector pin 32, and a display panel 33. A through hole 311 is provided in the middle of the connecting plate 31. The ejector pin 32 is connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 31 and is located below the through hole 311. The ejector pin 32 is in a "Z" shape. The display panel 33 is connected to the ejector pin 32.

[0028] After each needle on the loading platform 1 contacts the ejector pin 32 one by one, the display panel 33 will display the needle pressure value. When the needles are docked, the operator needs to observe through the microscope 4. The through hole 311 of the connecting plate 31 can provide a space to reduce the visual obstruction of the microscope 4 by the connecting plate 31, so that the operator can observe the needle alignment below through the through hole 311. The "Z"-shaped ejector pin 32 can provide the operator with more viewing angles, making it convenient for the operator to capture the image of the ejector pin 32 and the needle to be tested through the microscope 4. If the ejector pin 32 is a vertical rod, the vertically arranged ejector pin 32 will block the observation angle of the microscope 4 from top to bottom, affecting the operator's observation and the efficiency of needle docking.

[0029] The detection mechanism 3 also includes a connector 35 and a connecting rod 34. The connecting rod 34 is located at the bottom of the connecting plate 31. The connecting rod 34 is threadedly connected to the connector 35. The ejector pin 32 is connected to the bottom of the connector 35. According to different detection requirements of the probe card 6, the ejector pins 32 of different specifications can be replaced by screwing the connector 35.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the connector 35 is provided with a plurality of ejector pins 32, which are respectively connected to the display panel 33 through existing wires, so as to achieve simultaneous measurement of adjacent needles of the probe card 6, and read the results on the display panel 33 in split screen, thereby improving the test speed.

[0031] The utility model provides a probe card needle pressure impedance test station. A probe card 6 is placed on a loading platform 1, with each needle of the probe card 6 facing upward. An operator observes from top to bottom through a microscope 4. The loading platform 1 realizes three-way adjustment through a positioning mechanism 2, and the needle to be tested is docked with a ejector pin 32. Subsequently, the needle continues to rise to a target test parameter, and the needle pressure value is obtained through the numerical change of a display panel 33; subsequently, the other end of the display panel 33 is connected to other wires of the ejector pin 32, and the impedance value immediately appears on the display panel 33.
