Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a press-fit type independent temperature control chip aging test socket, belonging to the technical field of chip aging test equipment. Background Art

[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 working state of the chip for a long time under certain temperature conditions to detect the changes in its 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 the product, 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 prior art, the common chip testing method adopted by chip manufacturing enterprises is to place the chip on a test socket and then put the test socket into an aging furnace for simulation testing. When aging testing BGA chips in the prior art, for large BGA chips, due to the large number of chip probes and large elastic force, if a direct-pressure type test socket is used, it will be very laborious to close the upper cover of the test socket, and it is very difficult to press the cover; if a traditional lever-type pressing rod structure is used, it will cause an increase in the overall height of the test socket, resulting in a large overall occupied space of the test socket. When conducting a single test, the space utilization rate in the aging furnace is not high, and the number of test sockets placed is small, requiring multiple tests, which increases the testing cost for customers. In addition, due to the low self-heat dissipation of the existing test socket, during the test, there are heat concentration points in the chip, resulting in damage to the chip due to poor heat dissipation during the aging test. Moreover, the heat distribution in the existing aging furnace is uneven, resulting in uneven temperature rise of the test sockets at different positions in the furnace, affecting the test effect. Therefore, a chip aging test socket is needed to solve the problems of difficult pressing of the test socket, poor heat dissipation, and large height of the test socket when using the existing chip test socket to test BGA chips, resulting in low test efficiency and low test accuracy.

One end of the groove extends to the chip installation slot. After the upper seat and the base are combined, the groove forms a heat dissipation channel for the chip.

[0030] Furthermore, the upper seat of this embodiment includes an upper seat main block 8; an installation cavity penetrating the block body in the radial direction is provided on the upper seat main block. The press head 15 is slidably installed in the installation cavity, and one end of it extends upward to the outside of the upper seat main block, forming an upper extension end, and the other end extends downward to the outside of the upper seat main block, forming a lower abutting end. The shape of the press head is adapted to the shape of the installation cavity, and the upper extension end of the press head is connected to the heat dissipation element, while the lower abutting end abuts against the chip; several sliding rods are provided on the side of the press head facing the upper seat main block. The sliding rods of this embodiment are shoulder bolts 6. Slide rod installation holes are opened at positions on the upper seat main block corresponding to the sliding rods. The press head is installed in the slide rod installation holes through the sliding rods and is slidably connected to the upper seat main block. A spring 7 is sleeved on the sliding rod between the press head and the upper seat main block.

[0031] The heat dissipation element of this embodiment includes an aluminum heat dissipation block 2; heat dissipation fins are evenly distributed on the heat dissipation block at intervals; bolt holes are opened on the heat dissipation block. Threaded holes are opened at positions on the upper extension end of the press head corresponding to the bolt holes. The heat dissipation block is installed in the bolt holes through connecting bolts 1 and is threadedly connected to the threaded holes to be fixedly connected to the upper extension end of the press head.

[0032] In addition, the pressing member in this embodiment is a pull rod 3; the pull rod 3 has a U-shaped structure, and both ends of its U-shaped structure are rotatably connected to the upper seat through shoulder bolts 4 respectively, and the U-shaped ends form an operation part for driving the rotation of the pull rod; both ends of the U-shaped structure of the pull rod protrude outwards respectively, that is, a pressing end for pushing the movement of the pressing head is formed, and the shape of the pressing end is a cam-shaped structure. And pin holes are respectively formed on the rod bodies at both ends of the U-shaped structure of the pull rod, and elastic pins 5 are slidably installed at positions corresponding to the pin holes on both sides of the main block of the upper seat. When driving the pull rod to press the pressing head, the pull rod is sleeved in the elastic pin through the pin hole, and the driving pressing end abuts the pressing head against the chip; the positions corresponding to the pressing ends on the pressing head 15 extend outwards respectively to form an extension end; a gasket 12 is fixedly installed on the extension end through a mounting bolt 11 for the abutment of the pressing end.

[0033] In order to facilitate the transfer of the heat of the chip, the pressing head 15 in this embodiment is made of a metal material; the heating element is a heating rod 14, and the heating rod 14 is fixedly installed inside the pressing head through a fixing bolt 13.

[0034] Working principle: Before the multi-station pressing type independent temperature control chip aging test seat in this embodiment is used, the tester can connect the connection joints of the temperature sensor and the heating rod to the PCB test board to control the heating rod and display the chip temperature. During the test, the tester places the chip in the base assembly, closes the main block of the upper seat, first lets the buckle latch the base, and then rotates the pull rod to the test state. During the process of rotating the pull rod, the cam-shaped pressing end on the pull rod presses the pressing head down until the elastic pin snaps into the pin hole of the pull rod. The cam structure of the pressing end can make the pressing head easier to press, and it is relatively labor-saving in the case of a large number of balls. When the upper seat is in a tightened state, the pressing head presses the chip, and the metal pressing head and the heat dissipation block can accelerate the heat dissipation of the chip; the induction end of the temperature sensor inside the pressing head also presses the chip, and can detect and feedback the case temperature of the chip; the heating rod can heat the chip, stop heating after reaching the specified temperature, and start heating when the temperature is lower than the specified temperature, and continuously cycle to ensure the chip test temperature.

[0035] During operation, the test seat is placed in the aging furnace. The heat dissipation channels on the side of the test seat can allow the blowing of the aging furnace to pass through more smoothly, prevent heat accumulation, and make the chip dissipate heat faster. The test seat in this embodiment can more easily close the upper seat, can better dissipate heat, has an independent temperature control structure, and the height dimension of the test seat meets the placement requirements of the existing aging furnace, and can meet the aging test requirements of most current chip packaging factories.

[0036] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail in combination with the above embodiments. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. For those of ordinary skill in the art, after learning the content recorded in the present utility model, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several equivalent transformations and substitutions can still be made, and these equivalent transformations and substitutions should also be regarded as belonging to the protection scope of the present utility model.
