Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chip testing technology, and specifically to a chip heating testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Integrated circuits, also known as microcircuits, microchips, or wafers / chips, are a way to miniaturize circuits (mainly including semiconductor devices, but also passive components) in electronics. They are often manufactured on the surface of semiconductor wafers. When a chip is powered on, it generates heat. If the heat is too high, the chip will burn out. Therefore, chips need to be tested after production.

[0003] Currently, chip testing is mainly conducted at room temperature, without considering the various temperature environments that chips may encounter in actual applications. Traditional testing methods often fail to accurately reflect the performance of chips under high or low temperature environments, which can affect the reliability and quality of the final product. Therefore, there is a need for a device that can test chip particles at different temperatures. This invention addresses this technical problem. Utility Model Content

[0028] See Figures 1-3 A heating test device for chip particles includes a placement mechanism for placing a chip particle 8 to be tested, a temperature control module connected to the placement mechanism, a test circuit module electrically connected to the chip particle 8 to be tested, and a data analysis module electrically connected to the temperature control module and the test circuit module. The temperature control module is used to adjust the temperature of the placement mechanism, the test circuit module is used to perform performance testing on the chip, and the data analysis module is used to analyze and record the test results. Figure 2 The heating test platform in this solution is the placement mechanism, because this solution uses the placement mechanism to place the chip particles, thereby realizing the heating test of the chip particles.

[0029] Furthermore, the temperature control module includes a temperature variable component and a temperature sensor 2 connected to the placement mechanism, and a controller 1 electrically connected to the temperature variable component and the temperature sensor 2. The controller 1 is electrically connected to the data analysis module.

[0030] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 Preferably, in this embodiment, the controller 1 may use only the PID feedback control algorithm or only the PWM technology to accurately control the temperature regulation of the variable temperature component.

[0031] PID control algorithm: The PID algorithm can effectively reduce temperature overshoot and response delay, and improve control accuracy. The PID algorithm module is one of the most commonly used feedback control strategies in automatic control systems. It adjusts the system output by combining the three elements of proportional (P), integral (I) and derivative (D) so that the actual output of the system tracks the desired set value.

[0032] PWM signal adjustment: By precisely controlling the duty cycle of the PWM signal, the heating power can be finely adjusted. System response speed: Selecting a suitable PWM frequency balances the system's response speed and efficiency, avoiding uneven heating or overheating caused by excessively low frequency. Preferably, controller 1 can be used to generate a PWM signal. Controller 1 adjusts the duty cycle of the PWM signal based on the difference between the preset temperature value (target temperature) and the current temperature (detected by temperature sensor 2). For example, if temperature sensor 2 detects that the current temperature is 19℃ and the target temperature is 20℃, controller 1 calculates the required increase in power based on the difference and the characteristics of the heating element, and then appropriately increases the duty cycle of the PWM signal, causing the heating element to output more heat, thereby raising the temperature. Temperature sensor 2 continuously monitors the temperature of the test environment and feeds the temperature data back to microcontroller 1. This feedback is key to achieving precise control. For example, if temperature sensor 2 detects that the temperature has reached 20℃, controller 1 will adjust the duty cycle of the PWM signal based on this information, such as by decreasing the duty cycle to maintain this temperature and prevent the temperature from rising further, thus achieving precise temperature control.

[0033] The above method allows the system to apply gradual temperature changes to the chip during the preheating phase, avoiding potential damage to the chip due to excessively rapid temperature changes.

[0034] Furthermore, the temperature-changing assembly includes a heater 3 connected to the placement mechanism, and the heater is connected to the controller 1 via a relay.

[0035] Furthermore, the test circuit module includes a signal generator 6 electrically connected to the chip under test 8, a data acquisition card 7 electrically connected to the chip under test 8, and a data comparison module 12 connected to the data acquisition card 7. The data comparison module 12 is electrically connected to the data analysis module.

[0036] Furthermore, the data analysis module includes a data processing unit 9 for analyzing data, a storage device 11 for storing data, and the storage device 11, controller 1, and data comparison module 12 are electrically connected to the data processing unit 9. In this embodiment, the data processing unit 9 can be a computer or other device capable of data processing.

[0037] Furthermore, the signal generator 6 and the data acquisition card 7 are electrically connected to the metal pin point 10, which is connected to the placement mechanism and in contact with the chip particle 8 under test.

[0038] Furthermore, the placement mechanism includes a test socket 5 for placing the chip under test 8 and an upper cover 4 for pressing onto the chip under test 8. The structures of the upper cover 4 and the test socket 5 are prior art known to those skilled in the art. Provided that the contents described in this solution can be achieved, the upper cover 4 and the test socket 5 can be of any shape, and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] Furthermore, heater 3 is connected to the upper cover 4.

[0040] Furthermore, temperature sensor 2 is connected to the upper cover 4.

[0041] Preferably, in this embodiment, both the heater 3 and the temperature sensor 2 are located inside the upper cover 4. With this arrangement, the heater 3 can transfer heat to the chip particle 8 under test more quickly. Furthermore, the temperature sensor 2 is very close to the heater 3 and the chip particle 8 under test. This arrangement can make the collected temperature more accurate, thereby improving the reliability of the data.

[0042] Furthermore, the metal needle point 10 is connected to the test socket 5.

[0043] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0044] Before starting the test, the preset temperature range, the configuration of the test circuit module, and the parameter settings of the data analysis module need to be initialized. Then, the target temperature is set through the controller 1 to preheat the chip under test 8 so that its working environment reaches the target temperature so that the chip under test 8 can be tested at the target temperature. Only one of PID or PWM technology can be used for preheating, and the ambient temperature is gradually adjusted to the set target temperature. During the preheating process, the heater 3 will gradually increase the ambient temperature until the target temperature is reached. The temperature sensor 2 will monitor the temperature of the cover 4 in real time. The temperature is continuously monitored throughout the preheating process. As needed, it can be adjusted through the controller 1 to ensure that the ambient temperature is always kept within the target temperature range.

[0045] After reaching the target temperature, the chip is tested by the test circuit module. The test signal emitted by the signal generator 6 is transmitted to the metal pin point 10 and then to the chip under test 8. The data acquisition card 7 reads the data of the chip under test 8 during the test through the metal pin point 10. The data comparison module 12 compares the acquired data with the standard data to determine whether the data of the chip under test 8 during the test meets the standard, and transmits the data comparison result to the data processing unit 9.

[0046] After the performance test is completed at the initial target temperature, the heating power of the heater 3 can be gradually adjusted by the controller 1 to change the temperature of the test stand 5, and the performance test of the chip can be repeated to test the chip's operation under different temperature environments.

[0047] The temperature conditions and test data during the test are uploaded to the data processing unit 9 to achieve data integration. The data processing unit 9 analyzes and records the data and can display the performance of the chip particles as a function of temperature through graphs or other means. This is used to analyze and judge whether the chip particles meet the performance standards and generate a test report. The storage device 11 stores the data.

[0048] After the test is completed, the preset temperature range, the configuration of the test circuit module, and the parameter settings of the data analysis module are initialized to prepare for the test of the next chip.

[0049] As can be seen from the above embodiments, this application uses a temperature control module to control the temperature applied to the chip particle 8 by the placement mechanism, and uses a test circuit module to perform performance tests on the chip. The collected data is then uploaded to a data analysis module for analysis and recording to obtain the chip's performance at different temperatures. Compared with traditional testing methods, this solution overcomes the problem of difficulty in testing chips at different temperatures. Thus, the chip's performance and reliability can be evaluated more accurately through the above method, which helps to improve the quality of the final product.

Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
