[0022] As Figures 1-4 shown, a simple COS sintering test fixture includes a bottom plate 1, a limit frame 2, and a pressing block 3. A positioning structure for fixing the encapsulation shell is provided on the bottom plate 1. In this embodiment, the positioning structure is a threaded hole provided on the bottom plate 1 and a fastener passing through the threaded hole. The limit frame 2 is fixed above the bottom plate 1 through a support 4, and a plurality of slots 21 arranged side by side and located above the encapsulation shell are provided on the limit frame 2. A plurality of pressing blocks 3 are also provided, corresponding to the slots 21. The pressing blocks 3 are made of stainless steel with a high material density, and can utilize their own gravity to provide a certain pressure for pressing the chip. The pressing blocks 3 are T-shaped blocks, and their lower ends are inserted into the slots 21, which can limit the sliding height and avoid damaging the chip. The pressing blocks 3 slide in the slots 21 under their own gravity, so that the bottom of the pressing blocks 3 presses on the chip, fixing the positions of the chip, solder, and encapsulation shell.

[0023] As Figures 1-2 shown, the above-mentioned simple COS sintering test fixture further includes a baffle 5. The slot 21 is an open slot, and its open end faces forward. The baffle 5 is arranged on the front side of the limit frame 2 and closes the open end of the slot 21, and is detachably connected to the limit frame 2 through a fastener.

[0024] Among them, the bottom plate 1 is made of copper with good heat conduction performance, which is conducive to the bottom plate 1 conducting the heat of the heating furnace upward to the encapsulation shell to ensure the sintering effect. The limit frame 2 and the baffle 5 are both made of brass with moderate material hardness, which is convenient for machining and not easy to deform. In summary, the present invention can simultaneously fix multiple chips, ensure that each chip is subjected to the same force, has good force consistency, ensures the consistency of sintering quality, and the pressing blocks can be reused. It is a sintering fixture with good pressing force and sintering quality consistency; and it has a simple structure, is small and light, has a low procurement cost, is convenient for mass production, and is also convenient for installation and operation, improving production efficiency.

Both ends of the large pressing block end 31 protrude from the slot 21, and an operation hole 33 is provided in the middle thereof, which is convenient for taking the pressing block. The small pressing block end 32 is inserted into the slot 21 and is in clearance fit with the slot 21.

[0026] As Figure 1 , 4 shown, each outer side surface of the small pressing block end 32 is provided with a long strip-shaped shallow groove 34, and the shallow groove 34 can reduce the contact surface between the pressing block 3 and the limit frame 2 when the pressing block 3 slides down, reducing friction and wear.

[0027] As Figure 2 , 4 shown, the bottom of the pressing block 3 is provided with a positioning portion for cooperating with the chip. The positioning portion includes a groove 35 provided in the middle of the bottom surface of the pressing block 3, and the shape of the groove 35 is adapted to the outer shape of the chip, which can avoid damaging the chip when the pressing block 3 is pressed down.
