Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a probe card cleaning device, in particular to an efficient probe card cleaning device, belonging to the technical field of probe card cleaning. Background Art

[0002] The probe card is an essential and important part in the wafer testing stage. It is responsible for applying the test signals generated by the tester to the chip under test and transmitting the feedback signals in the chip back to the tester to complete the entire test process.

This step is of great significance for reducing the chip manufacturing cost and improving the product quality.

[0003] During the long-term use of the probe card, some debris and particles may adhere to the needle walls of the probes due to excessive detection, which will affect the quality of the test signals and even cause the test signals to be unable to be correctly transmitted, affecting the accuracy of the test results. The traditional cleaning method is manual cleaning, which is not only troublesome during cleaning but also inefficient. Summary of the Utility Model

Specific implementation manner

[0021] The technical solution of the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] As Figures 1-5 shown, the probe card high-efficiency cleaning device provided in this embodiment includes a bottom plate 1. A vertical plate 2 is installed on the bottom plate 1. A cleaning mechanism 3 is installed on one side of the vertical plate 2. The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a cleaning base 4. Two fixing blocks 5 are symmetrically installed on the cleaning base 4. A first slider 6 is slidably installed between the fixing blocks 5. A first electric telescopic rod 7 is installed between the first slider 6 and the vertical plate 2. A first round rod 8 is installed on the top of the first slider 6. A crank 9 is installed on one side of the first round rod 8. A second round rod 10 is installed on the crank 9. A round plate 11 is installed at the bottom of the second round rod 10. A circular chute 12 is opened on the cleaning base 4. A plurality of second sliders 13 are installed on the round plate 11. The second sliders 13 are slidably connected with the circular chute 12. A cleaning plate 14 is installed at the bottom of the round plate 11. Cleaning brushes 15 are arranged at the bottom of the cleaning plate 14. The crank 9 is rotatably connected with the first round rod 8 and the second round rod 10. By using the first electric telescopic rod 7 to push the first slider 6, at the same time, the crank 9 drives the round plate 11 at the bottom of the second round rod 10 to perform a circular motion on the circular chute 12. The cleaning plate 14 at the bottom of the round plate 11 can clean the probe card. Regular cleaning can remove pollutants and oxides on the probe needle wall, and reduce wear and deterioration caused by long-term use.

[0023] Furthermore, as Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, an inner cavity 17 is formed on the bottom plate 1. Rack bars 18 are symmetrically and movably installed on both sides of the inner cavity 17. A first clamping plate 19 and a second clamping plate 30 are respectively installed on one side of the two rack bars 18. A gear 16 meshing with the two rack bars 18 is installed between the two rack bars 18. A second electric telescopic rod 20 is installed on one side of the inner cavity 17, and one end of the second electric telescopic rod 20 is connected to the first clamping plate 19; one side of the top of the first clamping plate 19 and the second clamping plate 31 is semicircular. Grooves 21 are provided on both the first clamping plate 19 and the second clamping plate 30 to match the bottom plate 1; the first clamping plate 19 is pushed inward by the second electric telescopic rod 20, and at the same time, the second clamping plate 30 on the other side of the gear 18 is pushed inward. The simultaneous pushing of the first clamping plate 19 and the second clamping plate 30 can fix the probe card in the middle area, ensuring the accurate position of the probe card during cleaning and reducing cleaning deviation caused by movement or offset.

[0024] Furthermore, as Figures 1-5 shown, disassembly mechanisms 23 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the cleaning plate 14. The disassembly mechanism 23 includes a disassembly base 24. Fixing grooves 22 are provided on both sides of the cleaning plate 14. A fixing frame 25 is installed on the disassembly base 24. A spring 26 is installed inside the fixing frame 25. One end of the spring 26 is installed with a disassembly block 27, and the disassembly block 27 is adapted to the fixing groove 22. A disassembly column 28 is installed on the outer wall of the fixing frame 25. The disassembly column 28 penetrates the fixing frame 25 and the spring 26 and is connected to the disassembly block 27. A disassembly handle 29 is installed on one side of the disassembly column 28; the mutual engagement of the disassembly block 27 and the fixing groove 22 can fix the cleaning plate 14 on the circular plate 11. By pulling the disassembly handle 29 to drive the disassembly column 28, the disassembly block 27 is separated from the fixing groove 22, and the replacement of the cleaning plate 14 can be completed, preventing the cleaning plate 14 from being worn out after long-term use and reducing the cleaning effect.

[0025] As Figures 1-5 shown, the principle of the probe card high-efficiency cleaning device provided in this embodiment is as follows: The first electric telescopic rod 7 is used to push the first slider 6. At the same time, the crank 9 drives the circular plate 11 at the bottom of the second round rod 10 to perform circular motion on the circular chute 12. The cleaning plate 14 under the circular plate 11 can rotate and clean the cleaning card under its drive. Regular cleaning can remove pollutants and oxides on the probe needle wall, reducing wear and deterioration caused by long-term use; an appropriate cleaning frequency of the probe can ensure that the probe head maintains a good working state and avoid premature failure. At the same time, through regular cleaning, the service life of the probe card can be extended, thereby reducing the cost caused by frequent replacement of the probe card.
