It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrating the present invention and not for limiting the scope of the present invention. The implementation conditions adopted in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to the conditions of specific manufacturers, and the implementation conditions not specified are usually those in conventional experiments.
[0037] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , which is the structural schematic diagram of the embodiment of the present invention, a fixture adapter based on a silicon substrate is provided, which is used to replace the MEMS inertial sensor and placed in the test bench fixture of the test system to calibrate the test system.
[0038] The fixture adapter includes a ceramic package 1, an upper cover 2 that mates with the ceramic package 1, a silicon substrate 3 disposed within the ceramic package 1, and a plurality of signal transmission components 4.
[0039] The ceramic package 1 is placed in a test bench fixture and adapted to a MEMS inertial sensor. That is, the ceramic package 1 uses the ceramic package of the MEMS inertial sensor and can cooperate with the test bench fixture to achieve signal transmission. Specifically, the ceramic package 1 includes a ceramic housing 1-1, a plurality of first pads 1-2 circumferentially disposed on the inner wall of the ceramic housing 1-1, and a plurality of second pads 1-3 circumferentially disposed on the outer wall of the ceramic housing 1-1. Among them, the plurality of second pads 1-3 are electrically connected to the pins on the test bench fixture.
[0040] The upper cover 2 uses an upper cover adapted to the MEMS inertial sensor. An accommodation cavity is formed between the upper cover 2 and the ceramic package 1. After the silicon substrate 3 and the plurality of signal transmission components 4 are installed, the upper cover 2 can be welded or bonded and fixed to the upper end of the ceramic package 1 to complete the encapsulation.
[0041] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the silicon substrate 3 is fixed within the accommodation cavity of the ceramic package 1, and the silicon substrate 3 is electrically connected to the ceramic package 1. The silicon substrate 3 is made of a conventional silicon wafer. The size of the silicon substrate 3 should meet the requirement that it can be placed inside the ceramic package 1. The height of the silicon substrate 3 should be lower than the first pads 1-2 inside the ceramic package 1. The silicon substrate 3 can be fixed in the ceramic package 1 by an adhesive 6. A plurality of third pads 3-1 are provided at the upper end of the silicon substrate 2, and each third pad 3-1 is electrically connected to the first pad 1-2 on the inner wall of the ceramic package 1. For example, the third pad 3-1 and the first pad 1-2 are connected by a bonding wire 5.
[0042] The plurality of signal transmission components 4 are disposed on the silicon substrate 3 and electrically connected to the silicon substrate 3. The plurality of signal transmission components 4 extend outside the upper cover 2 to signal-connect with a calibration device, so as to transmit the signal of the calibration device to the test bench fixture. Specifically, a plurality of fourth pads 3-2 are provided at the upper end of the silicon substrate 3, and the plurality of signal transmission components 4 are welded to the plurality of fourth pads 3-2. The number of the fourth pads 3-2 is the same as the number of the signal transmission components 4, and at least three are provided. During testing, it is set according to the test requirements. Each fourth pad 3-2 is electrically connected to the corresponding third pad 3-1. Among them, the signal transmission component 4 uses a wire.
[0043] To facilitate the installation of the plurality of signal transmission components 4, a through groove 2-1 for the plurality of signal transmission components 4 to extend out is provided on the upper cover 2.
[0044] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows:
[0045] During calibration, the calibration device generates a standard electrical signal, which is transmitted through the signal transmission component 4 to the fourth pad 3-2 on the silicon substrate 3. The fourth pad 3-2 transmits the signal to the third pad 3-1, and the third pad 3-1 transmits the signal through the bonding wire 5 to the first pad 1-2 of the ceramic package 1, and then through the second pad 1-3 to the test bench to complete the calibration of the test.
[0046] In summary, the test bench fixture has a higher adaptability to the test bench, which can improve the calibration accuracy and efficiency.
