[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this utility model, and not the only embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a high-temperature test fixture for small semiconductor chips includes a test fixture body 1. A square groove 2 is formed on the upper surface of the test fixture body 1. A test base 3 is installed inside the square groove 2. A stage 4 for placing semiconductor chips is installed above the test base 3. The surface of the stage 4 is provided with several chip contact positions 17 for sensing semiconductor chips. A cover plate 5 with a central recessed hole 6 is embedded in the top of the square groove 2. The cover plate 5 is fixedly connected to the square groove 2 by fixing screws 11. The hole 6 abuts against the four sides of the stage 4 to fix the stage 4. In actual high-temperature testing of semiconductor chips, the cover plate 5 is placed on top of the square slot 2, and the four sides of the slot 6 in the cover plate 5 are made to abut against the four sides of the stage 4 so that the stage 4 can be fixed. In this way, the stage 4 will not shift position when the semiconductor chip is being tested at high temperature, avoiding the problem of failure of the high-temperature test socket of the semiconductor chip due to the positional shift of the stage 4. Furthermore, when the cover plate 5 is installed, the slot 6 of the cover plate 5 will not come into contact with the semiconductor chip, thus avoiding damage to the structure of the semiconductor chip.

[0031] Furthermore, a limiting plate 7 with a limiting hole 8 is installed at the bottom of the slot 6 on the cover plate 5. The limiting plate 7 is located at the bottom of the platform 4 and is flush with the bottom of the platform 4. The setting of the limiting plate 7 can limit the position of the platform 4 and prevent the platform 4 from shifting position.

[0032] Furthermore, through holes 9 are cut vertically at the four corners of the slot 6 towards the side of the slot 6. The through holes 9 at the four corners make it convenient for personnel to make fine adjustments to the position of the platform 4 through the through holes 9.

[0033] Furthermore, the surface of the cover plate 5 is symmetrically provided with grooves 10 that match the recessed direction of the slot 6 along the axial direction of the platform 4. Similar to the function of the through hole 9, the grooves 10 facilitate the fine adjustment of the position of the platform 4 by personnel through the grooves 10.

[0034] Furthermore, the bottom of the test socket body 1 is provided with a mounting groove 12, and a drilling plate 13 with several through holes 14 is installed on the mounting groove 12. The bottom of the drilling plate 13 is flush with the bottom of the test socket body 1. This arrangement helps to maintain the overall stability of the test socket body 1 and avoids the phenomenon of unstable testing during semiconductor chip testing caused by the instability of the test socket body 1 due to uneven position.

[0035] Furthermore, the test base 3 is provided with several through holes 15 that correspond to the through holes 14. A probe 16 is provided in the through holes 15. The bottom end of the probe 16 is connected to the drilling plate 13 in sequence along the limiting hole 8, the through hole 15, and the through hole 14. The top end of the probe 16 is connected to the stage 4. Specifically, the bottom end of the probe 16 is connected to the drilling plate 13, and the top end of the probe 16 is inductively connected to the chip contact position 17 on the stage 4. After the semiconductor chip is placed on the stage 4 and contacts the chip contact position 17, a contact connection is formed. At this time, the probe 16 senses the presence of the semiconductor chip and performs the corresponding test.

[0036] Furthermore, an annular heat insulation sheet 18 is installed at the bottom of the square groove 2. The annular heat insulation sheet 18 is set on the outer periphery of the test base 3. Specifically, the base of the test base 3 is set inside the heat insulation sheet 18. Through the setting of the heat insulation sheet 18, the square groove 2 and the test base 3 are kept at the temperature required for testing.

[0037] Furthermore, an annular temperature sensor 19 is installed above the insulation sheet 18. The temperature sensor 19 is located on the outer periphery of the test base 3. Specifically, the temperature sensor 19 is stacked on top of the insulation sheet 18. The temperature of the square slot 2 and the test base 3 is monitored by the temperature sensor 19 to ensure the smooth conduct of high-temperature testing of semiconductor chips.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
