[0002] Chip failure analysis testing is a test method used to determine the cause of chip failure. During chip failure analysis testing, various instruments and techniques, such as scanning electron microscopes (SEMs), transmission electron microscopes (TEMs), fault analysis electron microscopes (FIBs), and infrared thermography (IR), are typically used to observe the internal structure of the chip and analyze circuit connections, transistor performance, and problems between lines and gaps.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the chip needs to be clamped, the chip is placed on the top of the placement plate 305 and the shaft rod 304 is rotated to descend. When the shaft rod 304 descends, it will drive the linkage head 307 to descend. When the linkage head 307 descends to the bottom, it will contact the clamping heads 306 fixedly installed at both ends of the top of the fixed ring 302, driving the fixed ring 302 to rotate. When the fixed ring 302 rotates, it will drive the side connected to the linkage rod 204 and the top of the fixed ring 302 to rotate toward the two ends of the fixed ring 302. When the linkage rod 204 rotates at both ends of the fixed ring 302, it will pull the slide plate 202 to slide toward the middle of the support plate 301, fixing both sides of the chip placed on the placement plate 305. In this way, the chip can be fixed to prevent the chip from moving during scanning.

When the fixed ring 302 rotates, it will drive the linkage rod 204 and the side of the connection between the top of the fixed ring 302 and the top of the fixed ring 302 to rotate toward the two ends of the fixed ring 302. When the linkage rod 204 rotates at both ends of the fixed ring 302, it will pull the slide 202 to slide toward the middle of the support plate 301, and adjust the two sides of the chip placed on the placement plate 305. The chip can be fixed so as to prevent it from moving during scanning. The rotating rods 303 fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom of the shaft 304 can be easily twisted to allow the shaft 304 to rotate. The lifting rods 308 fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom of the placement plate 305 can limit the lifting of the placement plate 305 when the placement plate 305 is lifted. By twisting the torsion rod 6 rotatably installed inside the top of the first side of the carrier plate 1, the torsion rod 6 will engage with the top of the threaded rod 5 to drive the threaded rod 5 to rotate, allowing the threaded rod 5 to rise inside the base 4 to adjust the height of the carrier plate 1 for use in conjunction with a scanning electron microscope.
