Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of probe card testing technology, and in particular to a preheating device for high-temperature probe card testing. Background Technology
[0002] Probe cards are responsible for the electrical connection between the test system and the integrated circuit chip. During functional testing of the wafer, the probes on the probe card contact the wafer's pads, outputting test signals to the wafer or receiving signals from the wafer. Probe cards are crucial for both early-stage test development and later-stage mass production testing yield assurance, making them a critical process in wafer manufacturing that significantly impacts manufacturing costs. Considering cost, quality control, and process optimization, high-temperature testing needs to be introduced during the probe testing stage. High-temperature testing requires preheating the probe card using a probe machine for approximately 30 minutes to reach ideal conditions before calibrating the probe card's pin positions and height. Therefore, we designed a preheating device for high-temperature probe card testing. Utility Model Content

The first mounting plate 9 is located directly above the heating plate 4. The top adjusting threaded rod 7 and the first lifting frame 6 are connected by a threaded connection. The top adjusting threaded rod 7 passes through the interior of the connecting column 12 and the top of the probe card test preheating box 1.

The probe card body 11 is located directly above the heating plate 4.
[0020] In the implementation scheme, the probe card body 11 is directly installed into the mounting clip slot 10 at the bottom of the first mounting plate 9. The heating operation is achieved by directly controlling the heating resistance wires 5 at multiple positions on the heating plate 4 through the temperature controller 2. The position height of the top adjusting threaded rod 7 inside the connecting column 12 can be directly controlled by rotating the adjusting plate 8, thereby controlling the position height of the top of the first mounting plate 9 inside the probe card test preheating box 1, and thus controlling the distance between the first mounting plate 9 and the heating plate 4.

At the same time, the bottom adjusting threaded rod 17 can independently control the position and height of the second mounting plate 18 and adjust the distance between the second mounting plate 18 and the heating plate 4, and make appropriate adjustments according to actual needs. By setting an observation window 22 on the sealed box door 20, the preheating situation inside the device can be observed. The use of the heating plate 4 can be directly controlled through the control setting panel 24 on the temperature main controller 2, improving the ease of use.
[0024] Working principle:
[0025] The probe card body 11 is directly installed into the mounting clip slot 10 at the bottom of the first mounting plate 9. The heating operation is achieved by directly controlling the heating resistance wires 5 at multiple positions on the heating plate 4 through the temperature controller 2. The position height of the top adjusting threaded rod 7 inside the connecting column 12 can be directly controlled by rotating the adjusting plate 8, thereby controlling the position height of the top of the first mounting plate 9 inside the probe card test preheating box 1, and thus controlling the distance between the first mounting plate 9 and the heating plate 4. The heating resistance wires 5 at multiple positions can achieve a uniform heating effect. Adjusting the distance can ensure the preheating efficiency and avoid the distance being too far, which directly affects the diversity of the test, because the preheating distance can directly affect the preheating efficiency.
[0026] By setting the second mounting plate 18 to have the same structure as the first mounting plate 9, the probe card body 11 can be directly installed inside the second mounting plate 18 to achieve the effect of simultaneous preheating on both sides, further improving the efficiency of the device.
