Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chip testing, in particular to a testing device for chip testing. Background Art
[0002] When the power chip is undergoing a limit capacity test, that is, a test of its ability to withstand the instantaneous high current of a short circuit, the test probe is in direct contact with the pad of the power chip. The overcurrent peak of a single test probe is relatively high (30-50A). The instantaneous energy will cause the contact point of a single test probe to overheat, causing the material of the test probe to soften, and then causing the contact test probe to penetrate deeper. The test probe will penetrate into the interior of the power chip, causing internal damage to the power chip during the test process. Utility Model Content

[0042] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a test device 100 for chip testing according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The schematic structural diagram of the testing device 100 shown in FIG. 1 is a diagram omitting the upper base 10. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The schematic structural diagram of the lower base 20 in the testing device 100 is shown. Figure 4 yes Figure 1 The schematic structural diagram of the top of the conductive member 30 in the test device 100 is shown. Figure 5 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the bottom of the conductive member 30 in the test device 100. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in a specific embodiment, a test device 100 for chip testing includes an upper base 10 and a lower base 20. The upper base 10 is located above the lower base 20 and is pressed against the lower base 20. The top of the lower base 20 has a mounting position 21 for mounting the chip under test 200. The test device 100 also includes a plurality of test probes 11 and a conductive member 30. The plurality of test probes 11 pass through the upper base 10. The conductive member 30 is mounted on the bottom of the upper base 10 and includes a plurality of insulating component groups 33 and a plurality of conductive component groups 32 arranged at intervals along a first direction. Each conductive component group 32 includes at least one conductive sheet 321. The top of the conductive sheet 321 contacts the test probe 11 and the bottom contacts the chip under test 200. An insulating component group 33 is provided between two adjacent conductive component groups 32. Each insulating component group 33 includes at least one insulating sheet 331. Here, the conductive component group 32 is used to connect the test probe 11 and the chip under test 200 , and the top of the test probe 11 is connected to the circuit board, thereby transmitting the acquired signal of the chip under test 200 to the tester.
[0043] This embodiment is equivalent to placing the conductive member 30 between the chip under test 200 and the test probe 11. The conductive sheet 321 of the conductive member 30 increases the effective contact area with the chip under test 200. The contact pressure between the conductive sheet 321 and the chip under test 200 is reduced compared to the contact pressure when the test probe 11 directly contacts the chip under test 200. This results in current diversion, more uniform current distribution, and reduced current intensity per unit area, preventing the test probe 11 from heating up and softening, potentially scratching the chip under test 200. Furthermore, by providing an insulating component group 33 between two adjacent conductive component groups 32, electrical isolation between the conductive component groups 32 can be achieved.
[0044] Figure 6 FIG is a schematic structural diagram of a conductive component group 32 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 Arrow A in the figure indicates the first direction, and arrow B indicates the second direction. In some embodiments, the plurality of test probes 11 are divided into a plurality of test probe groups, each test probe group corresponds to a conductive component group 32, and is arranged at intervals along the first direction, and each test probe group includes a plurality of test probes 11 arranged at intervals along the second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. Figure 6 As can be seen in the figure, multiple test probes 11 are arranged in an array, and a row of test probes 11 arranged along the direction of arrow B is regarded as a test probe group, and each test probe group corresponds to a conductive component group 32. Multiple test probe groups are arranged along the direction of arrow A.
[0045] In some embodiments, each conductive component group 32 includes a plurality of conductive sheets 321 spaced apart along the second direction, and each conductive sheet 321 contacts at least one test probe 11 of a corresponding test probe group. Figure 6 As shown, each conductive component group 32 includes three conductive plates 321. In other embodiments, each conductive component group 32 may also include two, four, or five conductive plates 321, with the number of conductive plates 321 selected based on specific design requirements. Each conductive plate 321 contacts three to four test probes 11, with the number of contacted test probes 11 selected based on specific design requirements.
[0046] In some embodiments, the plurality of conductive sheets 321 of each conductive component group 32 are arranged at intervals, and each conductive sheet 321 contacts a functional area of the chip under test 200. It can be understood that each conductive sheet 321 can only contact one functional area of the chip under test 200. Figure 6 When each group of conductive sheets 321 includes three conductive sheets 321, the three conductive sheets 321 correspond to three functional areas. The conductive sheets 321 in the same row along the direction of arrow A correspond to the same functional area.
[0047] Figure 7 FIG is a schematic structural diagram of a conductive component group 32 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 As shown, in another embodiment, each conductive component group 32 includes a conductive sheet 321 arranged along the second direction, and the conductive sheet 321 contacts all the test probes 11 of the corresponding test probe group. In other words, the number of conductive sheets 321 included in each conductive component group 32 can be designed according to specific design requirements, that is, a single integral conductive sheet 321 can be provided, or multiple independent conductive sheets 321 can be provided.
[0048] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 The bottom of the conductive sheet 321 of each conductive component group 32 is provided with a plurality of contact portions 322 arranged at intervals, and each contact portion 322 contacts a functional area of the chip under test 200 .
[0049] Figure 8 FIG is a schematic structural diagram of a conductive sheet 321 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 As shown, the lower surface of each conductive sheet 321 has at least one raised portion 325, each of which has a curved surface 326. The lowest end of the curved surface 326 contacts the functional area of the chip under test 200. This embodiment optimizes planar contact to linear contact, further optimizing the contact resistance and current distribution between the conductive sheet 321 and the chip under test 200. In this embodiment, the lower surface of each conductive sheet 321 has two raised portions 325. In other embodiments, the number of raised portions 325 can be selected based on specific design requirements.

Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of grooves 332 are provided at intervals on the bottom of each insulating sheet 331. Here, when each conductive component group 32 has multiple conductive sheets 321, one groove 332 corresponds to the gap between two adjacent conductive sheets 321. When each conductive component group 32 has only one conductive sheet 321, one groove 332 corresponds to the gap between two adjacent contact portions 322.
[0051] In some embodiments, one or more insulating sheets 331 may be provided between two adjacent conductive component groups 32. This corresponds to providing a single or multiple insulating sheets 331, depending on design requirements. Insulating sheets 331 are typically ceramic insulating sheets, and are provided to provide electrical isolation for conductive sheets 321.
[0052] In some embodiments, the upper surface of each insulating sheet 331 is higher than the upper surface of the conductive component group 32, and the lower surface of the insulating sheet 331 is higher than the lower surface of the conductive component. Here, the top of each insulating sheet 331 is located between two adjacent test probe groups.

Figure 12 : is a schematic structural diagram of a mounting base 31 according to another embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the conductive member 30 further includes a mounting base 31, which is mounted on the bottom of the upper base 10 and has at least one through-hole 311 extending vertically therethrough, and multiple groups of insulating component groups 33 and multiple groups of conductive component groups 32 are mounted in the through-hole 311. Here, the mounting base 31 is mounted on the bottom of the upper base 10 by means of bolt connections. During the pressing process of the upper base 10 and the lower base 20, the conductive member 30 gradually approaches the chip under test 200, and eventually the conductive sheet 321 contacts the functional area of the chip under test 200.
[0054] See also Figure 11 When each conductive component group 32 has multiple conductive sheets 321, the mounting base 31 is provided with multiple through-holes 311 extending vertically therethrough. The multiple through-holes 311 are spaced apart along the second direction, and the number of through-holes 311 is the same as the number of conductive sheets 321 in each conductive component group 32. That is, if each conductive component group 32 includes three conductive sheets 321, then the number of through-holes 311 is also three, and each conductive sheet 321 in each conductive component group 32 is inserted into one through-hole 311. Figure 6 When each conductive component group 32 has multiple conductive sheets 321, each conductive sheet 321 has a second clamping portion 323 protruding outward at both ends of its top. The second clamping portion 323 is clamped on the edge of the corresponding through hole 311 to achieve the installation of the conductive sheet 321. Figure 9 The top two ends of the insulating sheet 331 respectively have first clamping parts 333 protruding outwards, which are clamped on the edges of the through holes 311 on the left and right sides to achieve the installation of the insulating sheet 331. It can be understood that, Figure 9 The insulating sheet 331 is Figure 11 The mounting seat 31 in the embodiment is used in conjunction with the mounting seat 31 in the embodiment.
[0055] See also Figure 12 When each conductive component group 32 has a conductive sheet 321, the mounting base 31 is provided with a through hole 311 that passes through in the vertical direction, and the conductive sheet 321 is inserted into the through hole 311. Figure 7When each conductive component group 32 has a conductive sheet 321, the top ends of the conductive sheet 321 each have a third clamping portion 324 protruding outwards. The third clamping portion 324 is clamped on the edge of the through hole 311 to achieve the installation of the conductive sheet 321. Figure 10 The top two ends of the insulating sheet 331 respectively have first clamping parts 333 protruding outwards, which are clamped on the edge of the through hole 311 by the first clamping parts 333, thereby achieving the installation of the insulating sheet 331. It can be understood that, Figure 10 The insulating sheet 331 is Figure 12 The mounting seat 31 in the embodiment is used in conjunction with the mounting seat 31 in the embodiment.
