Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chip testing technology, and in particular to a device for real-time monitoring of chip acquisition status. Background Technology
[0002] In modern semiconductor manufacturing, chip testing and end-face inspection are crucial steps in ensuring product quality and performance. During this process, the accuracy and stability of precisely controlling the contact position between the nozzle and the chip in the testing equipment are paramount. Traditional testing methods heavily rely on external microscopes for real-time observation of the nozzle-chip contact position, which not only increases equipment complexity but also limits operational flexibility. External microscopes require precise alignment and are susceptible to environmental interference (such as vibration and temperature changes) during use, leading to poor observation results and often requiring frequent adjustments by operators. This significantly extends the testing cycle and reduces work efficiency.
[0003] Existing chip testing equipment only equips the testing end (the position where the chip has been picked up from the test end) with a camera component to monitor the state of the nozzle picking up the chip. However, there is a lack of corresponding visual monitoring methods at the test end (the position where the nozzle first contacts and picks up the chip). This design flaw makes it difficult to accurately control the relative position between the nozzle and the chip at the test end. Especially when the nozzle approaches and attempts to pick up the chip, due to the lack of real-time feedback, the nozzle often misjudges the distance and makes excessive contact with the chip surface, leaving indentations on the chip. This can potentially cause minor damage to the internal structure of the chip, thereby affecting its performance and reliability.
[0004] Therefore, overcoming the shortcomings of the existing technology is an urgent problem to be solved in this technical field. Utility Model Content

[0036] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0037] Example 1:
[0038] Embodiment 1 of this utility model provides a device for real-time monitoring of the chip acquisition status, such as... Figure 1As shown, the system includes: a light source module 1, a camera 2, and a distance adjuster 3. The light source module 1 and the camera 2 are housed within a monitoring box 4. The distance adjuster 3 is located below the monitoring box 4 and is used to adjust the position of the monitoring box 4 along the X and Z axes. The camera 2 can be a high-magnification telephoto camera. To provide good illumination for the camera 2, two light source modules 1 are used, one on each side of the camera 2. The adjustable brightness range of each light source module 1 is 0-255, where 0 is the lowest brightness and 255 is the highest. The two light source modules 1 provide good illumination, effectively improving the image quality of the camera 2. Simultaneously, the main function of the distance adjuster 3 is to adjust the position of the camera 2, further enhancing its image quality and improving the system's recognition accuracy.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the monitoring box 4 is mounted on the work platform 5, which is equipped with a suction component 6. The monitoring box 4 is positioned on one side of the test area 50 on the work platform 5, and is used to monitor the state of the suction component 6 in suctioning the chip in the test area 50. The test area 50 is the area where the chip to be tested is placed.
[0040] By setting a light source module 1 and a camera 2 on one side of the test area 50 of the work platform 5, the distance between the pick-up component 6 and the chip when picking up the chip can be effectively monitored, avoiding chip damage caused by excessive contact between the pick-up component 6 and the chip; at the same time, a distance adjuster 3 is set below the monitoring box 4 where the camera 2 and the light source module 1 are placed. The position of the camera 2 can be moved by the distance adjuster 3, thereby identifying the distance between the pick-up component 6 and the chip through the camera 2, realizing the adjustable state of the position of the camera 2 relative to the chip position, and being compatible with the debugging of different product models.
[0041] The above solution mentions that the operating platform 5 is provided with an area for placing the chip under test, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the work platform 5 includes a test area 50 and a detection area 51, respectively located near both ends of the work platform 5. The test area 50 is used to place the chip to be tested, and the detection area 51 is used to detect the chip. The camera 2 is used to monitor the state of the suction component 6 in the test area 50 suctioning the chip. In practical applications, a detection device is already provided on one side of the detection area 51 for detecting the chip, and it can also monitor the distance between the suction nozzle 60 and the chip, which is not shown in the accompanying drawings of this embodiment.
[0042] For mounting the monitoring box 4 and the distance adjuster 3, a mounting plate 52 is provided on the working platform 5. The mounting plate 52 is located on one side of the area to be measured 50, and the distance adjuster 3 is mounted on the mounting plate 52. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the device for monitoring the chip's acquisition status in real time also includes a fixing bracket 7, which has at least two mounting holes 70. The fixing bracket 7 is bolted to the mounting plate 52 through the mounting holes 70.
[0043] In the above scheme, the distance adjuster 3 is used to adjust the position of the monitoring box 4 in the X-axis and Z-axis directions. To improve the imaging quality of the camera 2, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the distance adjuster 3 includes an X-axis adjuster 30 and a Z-axis adjuster 31. The X-axis adjuster 30 is used to adjust the position of the monitoring box 4 perpendicular to the lateral direction of the mounting plate 52 (i.e., Figure 5 The Z-axis adjuster 31 is used to adjust the position of the monitoring box 4 in the longitudinal direction of the mounting plate 52 (i.e., in the X direction). Figure 5 (Z-direction in the text). Specifically, the X-axis adjuster 30 and the Z-axis adjuster 31 are used to fine-tune the position of the monitoring box 4. The X-axis adjuster 30 includes a first adjusting knob 300, and the Z-axis adjuster 31 includes a second adjusting knob 310. The first adjusting knob 300 and the second adjusting knob 310 are used to manually adjust the position of the monitoring box 4. The first adjusting knob 300 and the second adjusting knob 310 are provided with anti-slip threads for easy rotation. The X-axis adjuster 30 and the Z-axis adjuster 31 are mechanical structures well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. For example, position adjustment can be achieved through a lead screw structure.
[0044] During the operation of the suction component 6, since the test area 50 and the detection area 51 are respectively located near the two ends of the working platform 5, and the suction component 6 is a rotatable component, after the chip is picked up in the test area 50, the chip is moved to the detection area 51 for detection by rotating the suction component 6. After the chip detection is completed, the chip is picked up from the detection area 51, and the suction component 6 rotates to place the detected chip into an external container. Based on this, as... Figure 6As shown, the suction assembly 6 includes suction nozzles 60 and a crane beam 61. The crane beam 61 is mounted on the work platform 5. There are two suction nozzles 60, respectively positioned near both sides of the crane beam 61. To enable the suction assembly 6 to rotate, the crane beam 61 includes a rotating unit 62 and a mounting arm 63. The rotating unit 62 is fixedly connected to the work platform 5. The mounting arm 63 is located at the top of the rotating unit 62. The suction nozzles 60 are respectively located on both sides of the mounting arm 63. The rotating unit 62 drives the mounting arm 63 to rotate, so that the suction nozzles 60 transfer the chip in the test area 50 on the work platform 5 to the detection area 51, and then suction the chip in the detection area 51 into an external container. Figure 7 The diagram shows the suction nozzle 60 picking up the chip. The rotating unit 62 also has a conventional structure. For example, the rotating unit 62 may include a support member and a motor mounted on the support member. The support member is mounted on the work platform 5, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the mounting arm 63, driving the motor to rotate. The rotating unit 62 can also be implemented using other structures, which are not specifically limited here.
[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
