Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of level adjustment, in particular to a thin film probe card level adjustment device. Background Art
[0002] Thin film probe cards are a key component in semiconductor testing, mainly used to test the electrical performance of integrated circuit chips during the wafer manufacturing process. Thin film probe cards are designed to test the electrical characteristics of each chip before the wafer is cut into individual chips. This test is called wafer-level testing, also known as wafer probing or wafer testing.
[0003] When adjusting the thin film probe card horizontally, some devices can only move upward or left and right, but not both at the same time. The thin film probe card can only be adjusted in a single direction, and effective contact between the probe and the chip surface is difficult to ensure. If there is local unevenness on the chip surface or the probe position needs fine-tuning, the adjustment in a single direction cannot meet the requirements of precise alignment. The lack of multi-directional adjustment function means that the probe card may not be able to be accurately aligned with the test point, which directly affects the test accuracy. The thin film probe card cannot be flexibly adjusted, and it may not be possible to form effective contact between the probe and the chip surface, resulting in the inability to guarantee the test accuracy of the probe card.
[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need for a thin film probe card level adjustment device that can be adjusted in multiple directions to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clearly apparent, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby stated that any directional terms such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inside," and "outside" that appear or will appear in this document are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] Thin film probe card leveling device, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a support base 1, a support block 2, a detection table 3, an observation component 4, a support frame 5, an electric slide 6, a detector 7, a probe body 701, an electric push rod 8 and a dustproof shell 9. The support base 1 is fixedly connected to the support block 2, and the support block 2 is fixedly connected to the detection table 3 for placing semiconductors. The rear side of the support base 1 is connected to the observation component 4 for observing semiconductors by screws. The left and right sides of the support base 1 are fixedly connected to the dustproof shell 9, and the interiors of the two dustproof shells 9 are installed with electric push rods 8 with adjustable heights. The telescopic rods of the two electric push rods 8 are fixedly connected to the support frame 5, and the two support frames 5 are connected to the electric slide 6 by screws. The two sliders on the two electric slides 6 are connected to the detector 7 by screws, and the four detectors 7 are fixedly connected to the probe body 701.
[0025] When it is necessary to test the electrical characteristics of a semiconductor, the staff first places the semiconductor on the test table 3 and contacts the probe body 701 with the surface of the semiconductor to perform an electrical characteristics test. However, during the test, the probe body 701 may not be aligned with the test point of the semiconductor or the semiconductor may be locally uneven, which will affect the contact quality between the probe body 701 and the semiconductor surface. The staff uses the observation component 4 to monitor the contact between the probe body 701 and the semiconductor surface. When the probe body 701 is not in accurate contact with the semiconductor test point, the staff starts the electric slide 6. The slider on the electric slide 6 drives the detector 7 and the probe body 701 to move back and forth to adjust the test alignment between the probe body 701 and the semiconductor. Point contact position, and the staff can observe and control the movement of the probe body 701 in real time through the observation component 4 to ensure its accurate contact. When the semiconductor is locally uneven, the staff starts the electric push rod 8. When the semiconductor surface is concave, the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 8 moves downward for adjustment. When the semiconductor surface is convex upward, the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 8 moves upward for adjustment, thereby driving the support frame 5, the electric slide 6, the detector 7 and other components to move synchronously to compensate for the unevenness of the surface, ensuring that the probe always maintains good contact with the test point, and adjusting the position of the thin film probe card can achieve more accurate testing, ensure the validity and reliability of the test results, and protect the semiconductor and the probe body 701 from damage.
[0026] Example 2
[0027] On the basis of Example 1, Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a scanner 10, a display screen 11 and a controller 12. The scanner 10 is symmetrically installed on the front, back, left and right sides of the support block 2. The display screen 11 is connected to the support block 2 by screws. The controller 12 is installed on the front side of the support block 2, and the scanner 10, the display screen 11 and the controller 12 are electrically connected to each other.
[0028] In order to ensure that the position of the probe body 701 moves more accurately, the staff can turn on the scanner 10 to operate. The scanner 10 can monitor the moving distance of the slider on the electric slide 6 and the lifting distance of the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 8. The data collected by the scanner 10 will be transmitted to the controller 12, and the controller 12 will send this data to the display screen 11. By observing the data displayed on the display screen 11, the staff can further control the operation of the electric slide 6 and the electric push rod 8.
[0029] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, it also includes a support box 13, a connecting pipe 14, a dust collection shell 15, a pull-out box 16, a motor 17, fan blades 18 and a protective net 19. The right side of the support base 1 is fixedly connected to the support box 13, and the rear side of the support block 2 is connected to the dust collection shell 15 by screws. A connecting pipe 14 for collecting dust is fixedly connected between the dust collection shell 15 and the support box 13. A pull-out box 16 for storing dust is slidably connected to the support box 13. A motor 17 is installed on the side away from the support box 13. The fan blades 18 are fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 17, and the protective net 19 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the support box 13.
[0030] When the thin film probe card is used to test the electrical performance of the semiconductor, dust or particulate pollution may be generated. The staff can start the motor 17. The output shaft of the motor 17 rotates to drive the fan blades 18 to operate, generating airflow to suck the dust in the probe area into the dust collection shell 15. Then, the dust enters the support box 13 through the connecting pipe 14 with the airflow, and finally falls into the pull-out box 16, thereby falling into the pull-out box 16. The protective net 19 can be used to block larger particles and prevent dust from escaping from the support box 13. When the pull-out box 16 is filled with a certain amount of dust, the staff can pull the pull-out box 16 outward to collect or clean the dust in the pull-out box 16. When there is no need to clean the dust, the staff can turn off the motor 17.
[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, a protective shell 20 is also included. The rear side of the support base 1 is fixedly connected with the protective shell 20. The protective shell 20 can completely cover the motor 17 to prevent the motor 17 from being damaged.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, a protective shell 21 is also included. The outer sides of the four scanners 10 are connected to the protective shell 21 by screws. The protective shell 21 can protect the scanner 10 and prevent the operation of the scanner 10 from being affected by dust when the scanner 10 is working.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, anti-slip strips 22 are also included. Three anti-slip strips 22 are fixedly connected to the testing platform 3. The anti-slip strips 22 can effectively prevent unnecessary movement of the semiconductor by increasing surface friction.
