[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 , the utility model provides a chip testing device 100, which includes: a base, a support shaft, a disc holder, and a feeding device 12;
[0027] The support shaft is located on the base, and the disc bracket is installed on the support shaft; along the circumference of the disc bracket, a feeding component 1, an imaging device 2, a first defective material box 3, a first transport component 4, multiple testing stations 5, a first material box 6, a marking device 7, a second transport component 8, a second material box 9, a braiding component 10, and a second defective material box 3 are arranged in sequence;
[0028] The feeding device 12 includes a feed port, a vibration disk body, a communication line, a power line, a shielding cover 11 and a magnetic element; the shielding cover 11 is covered on the vibration disk body, the magnetic element is a ring structure, and the communication line and / or power line passes through the ring structure.
[0029] In the present invention, the base and support seat can be integrated or independently configured. The disc holder is directly fixed to the support shaft. The feed assembly 1, imaging device 2, first defective material box 3, first transport assembly 4, multiple test stations 5, first material box 6, marking device 7, second transport assembly 8, second material box 9, braiding assembly 10, and second defective material box 3 are arranged on the disc holder in a counterclockwise or clockwise direction. By integrating the various components and rationally arranging their positions, the present invention can improve testing efficiency.
[0030] In the present utility model, Figure 2 The feeding device 12 can be a vibration plate, preferably a piezoelectric vibration plate. The chips to be tested enter through the vibration plate feed port, are arranged into a predetermined shape that meets the test requirements, and then output to the feeding assembly 1 through the discharge port and enter the test state.
[0031] Since the vibration plate will generate harmonics during operation, resulting in low efficiency, low reliability, and even equipment damage, the utility model improves the vibration plate in two aspects:
[0032] On the one hand, if Figure 3 , a shielding cover structure 11 is set to block the electromagnetic noise from being radiated into space, forming electric field shielding, magnetic field shielding and electromagnetic field shielding space, so as to achieve the purpose of suppressing radiated electromagnetic interference;
[0033] On the other hand, annular magnetic elements are installed on the signal and power lines of the vibration disk to ensure that normal useful signals pass through smoothly while effectively suppressing the passage of high-frequency interference signals. In this way, even if ordinary signal lines are not shielded, electromagnetic leakage can be reduced and the circuit can be protected from interference.
[0034] In some embodiments, the first transport assembly 4 and / or the second transport assembly 8 includes a vacuum nozzle and a drive motor; the vacuum nozzle and the drive motor are mechanically connected, and the drive motor is coated with an absorbing material. As is well known, the drive motor generates a rotating magnetic field during operation, which can exacerbate EMI. Applying absorbing material around the motor can significantly reduce electromagnetic interference.
[0035] In the present invention, the first transport component 4 and / or the second transport component 8 also has a positioning component, which is used to accurately absorb the chip to be tested in the vacuum nozzle and move the chip to be tested to a preset position, for example, to the test station 5, to the defective material box 3, to the ordinary material box, etc.
[0036] In some embodiments, Figure 5 Each test station 5 (preferably 8) includes a test board 51, a positioning unit 52, and a gold finger unit 53. The positioning unit 52 is located between two gold finger units 53. The test board 51 is a PCB board, which can be a copper-clad board with low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss factor, and low impedance.
[0037] Low-dielectric-constant (Dk) circuit board substrates have a signal transmission rate that is inversely proportional to the square root of the material's dielectric constant, thus preventing signal transmission delays. Lower dielectric loss also reduces signal loss. Lower PCB impedance improves conductivity and signal transmission performance after electronic components are installed on the PCB.
[0038] The test board has high water absorption, which will cause the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the test board to decrease when it is wet. Therefore, it is preferred that the test board use a circuit board substrate with low water absorption.
[0039] In the present invention, the positioning unit 52 is used to accommodate and position the chip under test during testing to facilitate testing. During testing, after the nozzle picks up the chip and moves it above the positioning unit 52 of the test station 5, the motor presses the nozzle with the chip under test downward against the positioning unit 52, causing the pins of the chip under test to contact the gold fingers 51, thereby transmitting the test signal.
[0040] In one embodiment, Figure 4 The positioning unit 52 includes a positioning block 521 and a metal probe 522; the positioning block 521 includes a positioning groove for accommodating the chip to be tested; the metal probe 522 passes through the positioning block 521 and is grounded.
[0041] In the present invention, a metal probe 522 is provided to contact the heat sink (generally a large exposed base island) on the back of the chip to be tested, thereby being grounded.
[0042] Preferably, if Figure 4 As shown, the positioning block 521 includes at least two small holes, and a metal probe 522 is disposed in each small hole.
[0043] In some embodiments, a shielding layer is provided around the positioning block; the shielding layer is grounded. By optimizing the design of the entire test socket, the shielding layer product and the aforementioned heat sink can be grounded separately, thereby blocking the impact of EMI on the product during testing.
[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 5 At least one grounding connection hole 54 is provided at the edge of the test board 51, and the grounding connection hole 54 is grounded through a wire.
[0045] Optionally, the ground connection hole 54 can be provided at one edge of the test board, and a plurality of ground connection holes 54 can be provided. Figure 5 , there are two ground connection holes 54 ; illustratively, the ground connection holes 54 are arranged in two rows, and each row includes a plurality of ground connection holes 54 .
[0046] In some embodiments, an appearance inspection device is provided between the second transport assembly 8 and the second magazine 9 to inspect whether the appearance of the chips meets the requirements. Preferably, the appearance inspection device is a 3D5S.
[0047] It should be noted that the first material box 6 and the second material box 9 are used to store chips that have passed the previous inspection and wait for the right time to be moved to the next station.
[0048] The working principle of the testing device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0049] After the chips to be tested are adjusted into the appropriate posture by the vibration plate, they enter the test state. The bottom imaging device 2 inspects the chip's appearance. If the chip fails the inspection, it is moved by the first transport device 4 to the defective material box 3. If it passes the inspection, the chip is sequentially moved to different stations 5 for testing. Only chips that pass the inspection at the current station can be moved to the next station. If the chip fails the inspection, it is moved to the defective material box 3. After a series of tests, the marking device 7 marks the chip, and finally, the qualified chips are heat-pressed and sealed by the braiding assembly 10, and counted and reeled. This arrangement integrates various functions, greatly improving testing efficiency.
[0050] At the same time, when the chip is in the vibration disk, the internal chip will not be affected by electromagnetic interference due to the provision of the shielding box 11; and since the vibration disk signal line and power line are both provided with magnetic rings, this also greatly reduces electromagnetic interference.
[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
