Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to chip conduction test technical field, more specifically relates to a kind of semiconductor IC pin conduction property analyzer for semiconductor IC conduction test. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the Lot Setup (auxiliary work) of semiconductor test sorting operation, the polarity point of marked sample needs to be confirmed, to judge whether the printing direction of seal is correct; in the test production process, OS failure or defect beyond expectation can occur, then it needs to be quickly judged whether misjudgment occurs; when carrying out non-destructive analysis on OS failure, the conduction characteristics between device pins need to be understood, to preliminarily judge the main failure mode. OS failure, i.e. Open (open circuit) and Short (short circuit) failure, refers to the Open (open circuit) and Short (short circuit) test on the pins of chip in the test of semiconductor integrated circuit (IC), and the test purpose is to verify the electrical contact of test system and all pins of device, to ensure that short circuit with other pins or power supply (ground) does not occur.

[0003] At present, the method for judging the above failure needs to use multimeter or test machine. For example:

[0004] Pin1 confirmation: use the probe of multimeter to directly detect the pin of device, the device is not fixed, the pin is fine and dense, and the operation difficulty is large.

[0005] OS failure confirmation: when the OS proportion on test report is high, technician uses multimeter to analyze the pin conduction of waste product, or uses test machine to retest the test failure product.

[0006] FA failure analysis: use multimeter or curve tracer to check the conduction characteristics between pins.

[0007] In summary, in the existing production or failure analysis scene, if the conduction characteristics between IC pins are to be judged, at least multimeter needs to be used, and curve tracer and special test equipment need to be used when necessary, which is inconvenient. In the case that production reaches saturation and manpower tends to be tight, a tool or method for quickly judging the conduction characteristics of IC pin is necessary, which can not only improve production efficiency, but also simplify operation and improve the on-site problem analysis ability of technician.

[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] As a specific embodiment, see Figure 1The utility model discloses IC device pin mutual conduction characteristic analyzer taking SOT23-6 as an example, in the circuit, the following corresponding components are as follows: 1, the chip under test, 2, the gating switch, 3, the indicator light unit (parallel double color light emitting diode), 4, the micro button, 5, the current -limiting resistance, 6, the battery, 7, the power switch, 8, the double -pole double -throw switch, 9, the bias resistance.

[0029] Referring to Figure 1 SOT23-6 is the chip under test 1 (or the device under test), in the embodiment, the chip under test 1 has six pins. Bias resistance 9, gating switch 2, indicator light unit 3 and double -channel micro button 4 are connected to double -pole double -throw switch 8 and power supply unit in proper order on each pin. Referring to Figure 1 Bias resistance 9, gating switch 2, indicator light unit 3 and double -channel micro button 4 are all provided with six, corresponding six pins.

[0030] The pin of the chip under test 1 is connected with a bias resistance 9, and the bias resistance is used to make the parallel circuit with large voltage difference to have current passing through to light the corresponding light emitting diode.

[0031] Gating switch 2 can disconnect the pin not needed to be detected when necessary.

[0032] Each pin has an indicator light unit, which is realized by double -color reverse parallel LED (light emitting diode), for example, realized by green light emitting diode and red light emitting diode, and the anode of the same color LED is arranged close to the side of the pin.

[0033] Each pin corresponds to a double -channel micro button 4.

[0034] The power supply unit includes current -limiting resistance 5, battery 6 and power switch 7 connected in proper order. In the embodiment, the battery 6 adopts 6V battery, and the current -limiting resistance 5 of 1k is matched, and the power switch 7,

[0035] Double -pole device switch 8 is used to exchange the positive and negative poles of the battery.

[0036] The circuit is explained as follows:

[0037] ① in the case where any micro button is not pressed, all pins are connected to the one pole of the battery through the normally closed contact of the micro switch, and the normally open contact is connected to the other pole of the battery;

[0038] ② when the state of double -pole device switch DPDT does not change, press the micro button of one pin, if the current flows into the IC from the pin, the red light of the pin is bright, if the current flows out from other pin, the green light of the pin is bright, which shows that the pin between the red light and the green light is conducted;

[0039] ③ Following the previous step, if you press the double-pole double-throw switch to switch the positive and negative terminals at this time, you can observe that other pins are conducting in reverse to this pin, and the red light pin is conducting to the green light pin. Figure 1 In the indicator light units at the top and bottom of the chip under test, the left side has a green LED and the right side has a red LED.

[0040] In actual testing, the state of the double-pole device switch DPDT can usually be fixed so that each pin is connected to the negative terminal of the battery by default. In this way, you can observe the conduction of the pin to other pins by simply pressing the microswitch button of the pin being tested.
