[0001] This application relates to the field of semiconductor testing technology, and in particular to a probe station with a heat dissipation component. Background Technology

[0002] Integrated circuit components on semiconductor devices require electrical characterization and measurement before packaging to determine if they conform to standards. Probe station testing equipment is widely used in the semiconductor testing field due to its advantages such as low cost, wide application, ease of operation, and stable and objective test results. During use, the probe station requires precise alignment of the test points on the sample under test with the probe tips. Typically, the calibration components in the probe station are used to acquire the positional information of the sample under test on the test station to assist in achieving precise alignment between the test points and the probe tips. In some cases, it is necessary to test the performance of the sample under test in a high-temperature environment to further understand its performance. However, when the probe station is used to test the parameters of the sample under test in a high-temperature environment, the test station needs to be heated. When the test station is heated, the heat is conducted to the calibration components, causing the temperature of the calibration components to rise, which can lead to image blurring and affect the accuracy of the calibration.

One embodiment of this application provides a probe station 1 with a heat dissipation assembly 40. The probe station 1 includes a housing 10, a test stage 20, a calibration assembly 30, and the heat dissipation assembly 40. The housing 10 encloses a receiving space 101, and has a top surface 102 and a bottom surface 103 disposed opposite to each other. The test stage 20 is housed within the receiving space 101, is disposed adjacent to the bottom surface 103, and has a bearing surface 211 for bearing the sample to be tested. The calibration assembly 30 is disposed on the top surface 102 of the housing 10, is disposed opposite to the bearing surface 211 of the test stage 20, and is used to acquire image information of the sample to be tested.

The above are examples of application scenarios for the probe station 1 with heat dissipation components provided in this application and should not be construed as limiting the application scenarios of the probe station 1 with heat dissipation components provided in this application.

[0071] The housing 10 encloses a receiving space 101, which can accommodate the sample under test, the test stage 20, the calibration component 30, and partially accommodate the heat dissipation component 40. In some embodiments, the receiving space 101 may also accommodate, but is not limited to, a cooling component, a heating component, a pressure component, an electromagnetic component, and an optical simulation component. Understandably, the cooling component and the heating component can regulate the temperature of the test environment within the test chamber; the pressure component can regulate the pressure of the test environment within the test chamber; the electromagnetic component can regulate the magnetic field of the test environment within the test chamber; and the optical simulation component can regulate the light environment within the test chamber.

[0072] The housing 10 has a top surface 102 and a bottom surface 103 disposed opposite to each other. Understandably, the housing 10 includes a top wall and a bottom wall, the surface of the top wall facing the receiving space 101 being the top surface 102, and the surface of the bottom wall facing the receiving space 101 being the bottom surface 103. Optionally, the housing 10 further includes at least one side wall, the side wall, the top wall, and the bottom wall enclosing the receiving space 101. In one possible embodiment, the probe station 1 further includes a needle holder assembly, the needle holder assembly and the housing 10 enclosing a sealed space. This sealed space can isolate the sample under test from the external space, preventing external contamination of the sample and thus affecting the test results. The sealed space can also isolate the components housed in the receiving space within the probe station 1 from the external space, preventing external contamination from damaging the components housed in the receiving space.

[0073] The test stage 20 is housed within the receiving space 101. The test stage 20 is disposed adjacent to the bottom surface 103 and has a bearing surface 211 for bearing the sample to be tested.

[0074] The calibration component 30 is disposed on the top surface 102 of the housing 10. Optionally, the calibration component 30 is attached to the top surface 102 on the side facing the top surface 102. Optionally, the system includes multiple calibration components and a calibration housing. The calibration components are housed within the calibration housing, and the calibration housing is attached to the top surface 102 on the side facing the top surface 102. The calibration component 30 is disposed on the top surface 102 of the housing 10, allowing it to be close to the housing 10, facilitating heat transfer from the calibration component 30 to the outside of the housing 10. The calibration component 30 is positioned opposite the bearing surface 211 of the test stage 20 to acquire image information of the sample under test. The acquired image information is used for processing and analysis to determine the position of the sample under test, thereby assisting in precise alignment of the test points of the sample under test with the tips of the probes of the probe stage 1 when the probe stage 1 is used to test the sample.

[0075] In related technologies, when the probe station 1 is used to test the parameters of the sample under test in a high-temperature environment above 100°C, the test stage 20 needs to be heated. At this time, the heat from the test stage 20 is conducted to the calibration component 30, causing the temperature of the calibration component 30 to rise, resulting in blurred images and affecting the accuracy of the calibration. Based on this technical problem, the probe station 1 with a heat dissipation component provided in this application includes a heat dissipation component 40. The heat dissipation component 40 can dissipate heat from the calibration component 30, ensuring that the temperature of the calibration component 30 remains stable during the use of the probe station 1. The heat dissipation component 40 can prevent the temperature of the calibration component 30 from remaining stable when the probe station 1 is used to test the parameters of the sample under test in a high-temperature environment above 100°C, and prevent blurred images caused by workpiece expansion due to temperature rise.

[0076] The heat dissipation assembly 40 includes a heat-conducting assembly 410, a portion of which is housed in the housing space 101 and connected to the calibration assembly 30. Optionally, the heat-conducting assembly 410 has a first contact surface, and the calibration assembly 30 has a second contact surface, with the first contact surface connected to the second contact surface, thereby conducting heat from the calibration assembly 30 to the heat-conducting assembly 410 to reduce the temperature of the calibration assembly 30. Another portion of the heat-conducting assembly 410 is located outside the housing 10 to conduct heat from the portion of the heat-conducting assembly 410 housed in the housing space 101 to the outside of the housing 10. The heat-conducting assembly 410 can conduct heat from the calibration assembly 30 to the outside of the housing 10.

[0077] The fan 420 is located outside the housing 10 and is positioned opposite the heat-conducting component 410.

[0107] Please see Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a front view schematic diagram of the internal structure of a probe station according to one embodiment of this application. Further, in some embodiments, the test stage 20 includes a motion component 220. The motion component 220 is located between the bearing surface 211 and the bottom surface 103. The motion component 220 is used to adjust the position of the sample under test, and the motion component 220 is also used to drive the sample under test to rotate.

[0108] In related technologies, the test stage 20 is fixed to the housing 10, and the calibration component 30 includes a motion sub-component that can move in different directions to adjust the position of the calibration component 30. When the probe station 1 is used to test the parameters of the sample under test, the calibration component 30 moves above the test stage 20 to collect image information of the sample under test, thereby obtaining the position information of the sample under test. In related technologies, the calibration component is movable. When the calibration component collects image information of the sample under test during its movement, the image information collected by the calibration component 30 is easily blurred, which further leads to low accuracy of the obtained position information. Based on this technical problem, the probe station 1 with a heat dissipation component provided in this application embodiment, wherein the calibration component 30 is fixedly connected to the housing 10, and the test stage 20 further includes a motion component 220. The motion component 220 realizes the displacement and rotation of the test stage 20, so that the calibration component 30 can acquire the image information of the sample under test without moving, thereby further avoiding the problem that the image information acquired by the calibration component 30 is blurry when it moves, resulting in low accuracy of the acquired position information.

[0109] Optionally, the test stage 20 includes a support platform 210 having a support surface 211, and the motion component 220 is located between the support platform 210 and the bottom wall. Understandably, the motion component 220 may include a displacement component 221 and a rotation component 222. The displacement component 221 can move in different directions, thereby moving the sample under test in different directions. When the probe station 1 is used to test the parameters of the sample under test, the motion component 220 can be used to move the test stage 20 below the calibration component 30 to obtain image information of the sample under test, thereby enabling the calibration component 30 to obtain the position information of the sample under test. The motion component 220 can also be used to move the sample under test below the tip of the probe that cooperates with the probe station 1 to test the sample under test, thereby aligning the test point of the sample under test with the tip of the probe. The rotating component 222 can rotate about the normal vector of the bearing surface 211 passing through the center of the bearing surface 211, thereby causing the sample under test to rotate about the normal vector of the bearing surface 211 passing through the center of the bearing surface 211. When the probe station 1 is used to test the parameters of the sample under test, the motion component 220 can be used to rotate the sample under test so that the test point of the sample under test faces the tip of the probe, thereby aligning the test point of the sample under test with the tip of the probe.

[0110] In one possible implementation, the displacement component 221 may include, but is not limited to, a first mechanism 2211, a second mechanism 2212, and a third mechanism 2213. The first mechanism 2211 is used to translate the test stage 20 in a first direction, the second mechanism 2212 is used to translate the test stage 20 in a second direction, and the third mechanism 2213 is used to translate the test stage 20 in a third direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the third direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the third direction. The first mechanism 2211, the second mechanism 2212, and the third mechanism 2213 cause the displacement component 221 to move in different directions, thereby adjusting the position of the test stage 20 to further adjust the position of the sample under test on the test stage 20.

[0111] In summary, the probe station 1 with heat dissipation components provided in this application includes a motion component 220 between the bearing surface 211 and the bottom surface 103 of the test stage 20. The motion component 220 can adjust the position of the sample under test and rotate the sample. When the probe station 1 is used to test the parameters of the sample, the motion component 220 can move the test stage 20 below the calibration component 30 to obtain image information of the sample, thereby enabling the calibration component 30 to obtain the position information of the sample. The motion component 220 can also be used to move the sample under test below the tip of the probe that cooperates with the probe station 1 to test the sample; and to rotate the sample so that the test point of the sample faces the tip of the probe, thereby aligning the test point of the sample with the tip of the probe.

In an optional embodiment, the test stage 20 further includes a receiving device 230, which is used to acquire the calibration pattern and determine the positional relationship between the probe station 1 and the target position based on the acquired pattern information, thereby instructing the motion component 220 in the test stage 20 to move to move the sample under test to the target position.

When the calibration component 30 acquires image information of the sample under test, the first light source 320 directs the calibration light toward the reflector 330, which reflects the calibration light so that the receiving device 230 on the test stage 20 can receive the calibration light, thereby determining the positional relationship between the calibration component 30 and the test stage 20, and instructing the motion component 220 to move to move the sample under test to the target position.

The reflector seat 331 is connected to the calibration base 310 and also to the reflector 330 to achieve a fixed connection between the reflector 330 and the calibration base 310. The calibration base 310 and the reflector mount 331 fix the position between the reflector 330 and the calibration base 310 during use, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the position determination of the calibration component 30.

[0116] The first heat-conducting plate 411 further has a first through hole 411c, and the second heat-conducting plate 413 further has a second through hole 413b. The reflected light reflected by the reflector 330 illuminates the target position through the first through hole 411c and the second through hole 413b. Understandably, the first through hole 411c and the second through hole 413b are correspondingly arranged to allow the reflected light to pass through to the target position. In an optional embodiment, the calibration assembly 30 further includes a calibration base 310, which has a calibration through hole 310a corresponding to the first through hole 411c, allowing the reflected light to pass through the calibration through hole 310a and illuminate the target position.
