Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an independent temperature-controlled chip test socket with multiple working positions, belonging to the technical field of chip aging test equipment. Background Technique

[0002] Chip aging test is a method for testing chips during the production process, aiming to detect the performance and stability of chips under different environmental conditions. This test simulates the long-term operation of chips under certain temperature conditions to detect the changes in their performance and stability. In this way, it can be ensured that the produced chips can work reliably under different environmental conditions, avoiding product failures or quality problems caused by chip failures. In addition, the aging test can also predict the service life of products, eliminate defective products, avoid waste of packaging costs, and ensure that the products sold to users have high reliability and fewer problems.

[0003] Currently, in the existing technology, the common chip testing method adopted by chip manufacturing enterprises is to place the chip on the test socket and then put the test socket into the aging furnace for simulation testing. The existing test sockets are all single-station, and only one chip can be tested by one test socket, resulting in low test efficiency. In addition, when testing different types of chips, new test sockets will be set up to be applicable to different chips. Such new test sockets have not been tested in the furnace and are in the verification stage. Due to the small quantity, if they are put into the furnace, the utilization rate of the aging furnace is not high. Moreover, when manufacturing single-station test sockets, a relatively large number of test boards need to be made adaptively, resulting in a large amount of test board material consumption and increased overall cost. Therefore, an independent temperature-controlled chip test socket with multiple working positions is needed to solve the problems of low test efficiency and high test cost caused by the temperature control problem of the aging furnace when the existing chip test socket uses a single station for chip aging test.
