Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model discloses a wafer testing machine, belongs to the technical field of wafer testing machines, and specifically relates to a filter wafer testing machine. Background Art
[0002] With the development of Saw / Baw filter wafer-level packaging technology, Saw filters are required to be tested directly on the wafer with probes. If 20,000 Saw filters are on a wafer and tested individually, the probe has to move each time. Assuming 0.5 seconds per time, the light movement time is 8.3 hours, that is, it takes about 10 hours to test a wafer. This test efficiency is very low, so multi-channel testing is generally used. For example, 8 pieces are tested together, and the test time can be shortened to 2 hours.
[0003] The traditional multi-channel test method is to use a vector network analyzer of the PXI system, but the price of a 16-port PXI network analyzer is very expensive, so it is a good idea to use a matrix switch system to replace the multi-port instrument. However, it is also necessary to solve the problems of matrix switch switching time, multi-channel measurement speed, data storage efficiency, etc. Utility Model Content

[0030] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a keyboard drawer is provided on the machine body, and a keyboard connected to the industrial computer is provided in the keyboard drawer.

[0032] Working principle: The utility model is aimed at the Saw / Bar filter development system. The test device includes a 4-port network analyzer, 4 1-to-4 matrix switches and an industrial computer. The test device of the utility model is connected to the motion probe station through a communication interface to control the movement of the probe station, and the probe card is connected to the matrix switch for testing.
[0033] The testing process is as follows:
[0034] Step 1. The industrial computer controls the probe station to move the wafer to the position of the filter to be tested. At this time, the probe will contact multiple Saw / Bar filters at the same time.
[0035] Step 2. Switch the matrix switch, switch the measured channel to filter 1, and then measure, only record the SnP parameters, and then switch to channel 2, continue to measure, read the SnP parameters, until all filter SnP parameters are read. Note that the key point at this time is that the specification judgment function of the network analyzer cannot be used directly, otherwise the measurement will consume a lot of time resources.
[0036] Step 3. While performing step 2, the background will process the SnP data. Due to the use of high-performance industrial computers, the speed of calculating product specifications is very fast at this time, which is basically equivalent to the test time, that is, it does not take up test time.
[0037] Step 4. After completing the test of multiple filters at one position, start the probe station movement again. During this process, functions such as data saving need to be performed.
[0038] By using the above test methods, the test device can achieve almost the same test efficiency as the multi-port PXI test.
[0039] In addition to having very high test efficiency, the test device can also easily compensate for the performance of the probe because it only reads the SnP file. This function is richer than the probe compensation function of the network analysis, and shows very good test performance in practical applications.
[0040] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
