[0036] Under normal burning conditions:

[0037] The pick-up unit on the XY axis drive assembly sequentially transports the chips to be programmed from the tray or tape to the programming unit on the upper surface of the programming substrate for programming. After programming, the pick-up unit sequentially transports the programmed chips in the programming unit to the empty tray or tape for subsequent unloading operations.

[0038] The programming units mentioned above all fall within the existing basic scope, and the applicant's prior applications have provided specific technical solutions, which will not be repeated in this patent.

[0039] Importantly, during the chip programming process, a random inspection of the programmed chips is necessary to check the accuracy of the programmed information and prevent errors caused by human error, computer viruses, software mutations, or other factors. The specific process is as follows:

[0040] During the normal burning process, perform the following operations at regular intervals (e.g., every hour):

[0041] The horizontal transport module moves the material transport platform to the side of the programming unit. The pick-up unit on the XY axis drive component randomly selects the chip that has been programmed in the programming unit and transports it to the material transport platform.

[0042] In the aforementioned random sampling process, the XY-axis drive assembly drives the entire pickup unit to move horizontally, and then each nozzle moves vertically to independently pick up the chip being sampled. For example, when the pickup unit moves above a programming unit, it drives one nozzle to move vertically downward to pick up the chip in that programming unit. Then, it drives the pickup unit to move above another programming unit, and then another nozzle moves vertically downward to pick up the chip in that programming unit. This allows for the picking up of chips in different programming units without interfering with other chips, improving the randomness of chip sampling and further enhancing the effectiveness of the sampling.

[0043] The horizontal transport module then moves the transport platform carrying the programmed chip to above the substrate. Next, the vacuum nozzle driven by the three-axis drive unit moves the programmed chip on the transport platform to the test unit for testing. Based on the test results, the tested chip is moved to a specific location (such as a qualified product box, an NG product box, or a discharge tray). The test unit and test process described above are all within the scope of existing technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0044] When using the aforementioned high-yield chip programming equipment, it can perform random and automatic sampling inspections of programmed chips at any time during the programming process without stopping the programming operation. This improves production efficiency and ensures a high yield rate throughout the programming process. Furthermore, its pickup unit includes: a vertically arranged stand and at least two nozzles, each mounted on the stand. Each nozzle is mounted on a support base, and each support base is movably mounted on one side of the stand via at least one set of cooperating guide rails and sliders. At least two motors corresponding to the nozzles are arranged on the other side of the stand. A drive wheel mounted on the output shaft of each motor is connected to a driven wheel via a vertically extending synchronous belt. The support base of each nozzle is connected to the corresponding synchronous belt via an adapter block passing through the stand. By independently controlling the vertical movement of the nozzles, chips can be picked up one by one, thereby enabling the pickup of chips in different programming units without interfering with other chips, improving the randomness of chip sampling inspection, and further enhancing the effectiveness of the sampling inspection.

They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
