[0020] The following description will be made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-3 The application is further described in detail.

[0021] The application discloses a probe card.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1 , the probe card comprises a limiting unit arranged on the control panel 4 for fixing a wafer chip, the control panel 4 is in communication with an external testing machine, the mounting frame 1 is installed on the control panel 4, and the magnetic field unit for simulating a magnetic field environment is arranged on the mounting frame 1. Therefore, the wafer chip to be tested is installed on the limiting unit, a magnetic field is generated by the magnetic field unit, a magnetic field environment is simulated during the testing process, the testing requirement of the wafer chip of the electronic product in the magnetic field environment is met, the step of testing the wafer chip is simplified, the testing time and cost are greatly saved, and the detection efficiency of the wafer chip is improved.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the limiting unit comprises the fixed block 10 arranged on the control panel 4, the fixed block 10 is installed on the surface of the control panel 4 away from the mounting frame 1, a plurality of probes are arranged on the fixed block 10, the limiting groove 11 matched with the size of the wafer chip is formed in the fixed block 10, the wafer chip is arranged in the limiting groove 11, and the wafer chip is connected to the welding point of the control panel 4 through the plurality of probes. Therefore, the limiting groove 11 plays a limiting role on the wafer chip, the stability of the wafer chip arranged on the fixed block 10 is improved, the wafer chip is connected to the welding point of the control panel 4 through the plurality of probes, the probes realize the connection between the wafer chip and the channel of the testing machine, the wafer chip is in communication with the control panel 4, and it is convenient to detect the wafer chip by using the testing machine subsequently.

[0024] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3The mounting frame 1 comprises a support column 2 arranged on the control panel 4, and the support column 2 is provided with a pressing plate 3 at an end away from the control panel 4. The magnetic field unit comprises an electromagnetic ring 5 arranged on the control panel 4, and the electromagnetic ring 5 is abutted between the pressing plate 3 and the control panel 4. The electromagnetic ring 5 is energized to generate a magnetic field, thereby simulating a magnetic field environment. Therefore, during the wafer chip testing process, the tester will vibrate when running. If the pressing plate 3 is not installed, the electromagnetic ring 5 will be offset in the vibration of the tester, thereby affecting the consistency of the magnetic field environment. Therefore, the pressing plate 3 is used to limit the position of the electromagnetic ring 5, thereby improving the stability of the position of the electromagnetic ring 5 and the consistency of the magnetic field environment, and improving the accuracy of the wafer chip detection.

The support column 2 limits the position of the electromagnetic ring 5, thereby reducing the possibility of position offset of the electromagnetic ring 5. In the embodiment, the support column 2 is arranged in four and arranged in a circumferential array along the support ring 6, thereby further improving the stability of the mounting frame 1. The control panel 4 may be deformed during high-temperature testing, thereby affecting the contact effect of the probe and the wafer chip and affecting the normal transmission of the signal. In addition, the electromagnetic ring 5 itself has a certain weight. Therefore, the support ring 6 is used to enhance the structural rigidity of the outer edge of the electromagnetic ring 5 on the control panel 4, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation of the control panel 4.

The axis of the first observation hole 7, the axis of the electromagnetic ring 5, the axis of the second observation hole 8, and the vertical direction of the limiting unit are located on the same straight line, thereby facilitating the operator to observe the specific situation of the wafer chip on the limiting unit through the first observation hole 7 and the second observation hole 8 from the top of the pressing plate 3.

[0028] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 3The mounting hole is provided with a first mounting bolt matched with the size of the mounting hole, the surface of the support column 2 facing the control panel 4 is provided with a first mounting slot matched with the size of the first mounting bolt, one end of the first mounting bolt facing the pressing plate 3 is threaded into the mounting slot through the support ring 6, and the mounting hole is provided with a countersunk groove on the hole wall, and the end of the first mounting bolt is located in the countersunk groove, so that the interference between the end of the first mounting bolt and external components is reduced. Therefore, the operator can disassemble the support column 2 and the support ring 6 from the control panel 4 by means of bolt disassembly, and the flexibility is higher.

[0029] In addition, the magnetic field needs to be as close as possible to the measured wafer chip to achieve the best test effect, and in the embodiment of the application, the magnetic field around the wafer chip can be maximized to approach the required value, so that the test parameters are closer to the real situation, and the electromagnetic ring 5 of the required type can be installed and replaced more quickly during the test process, without the need to stop the machine.
