With the rapid development of SiC module packaging technology, especially multi-chip package (MCP) technology, the quality requirements for bare dies during the packaging process have reached unprecedented levels. Even if a single chip has only a 1% failure rate, the failure rate of a multi-chip packaged module will increase exponentially.
[0003] KGD testing involves static and dynamic testing of bare chips, subjecting devices to high stress such as high voltage, high current, and high temperature to eliminate chips that fail early or have defects, ensuring that the final selected chips meet the quality and reliability requirements of the packaged finished product.

[0021] The upper cover with air passage 4 and the base with air passage 20 are each connected to a set of upper pneumatic connectors 5 and lower pneumatic connectors 17.
[0022] The cavity formed by the airway cover 4 and the airway base 20 is stacked from bottom to top with the connecting strip support plate 9, the signal connecting strip 8, the needle bushing 12, the probe 19, the metal copper block 11 and the guide frame with through groove 7.
[0023] The test chip 22 is placed on the end face of the copper block 11. The probe 19 passes through the copper block 11 and abuts against the test chip 22. The probe bushing 12 is located on one end face of the probe 19 and abuts against the signal connection strip 8.
[0024] In addition, the preferred KGD test socket also includes a temperature sensor mounting hole 21 disposed on one side of the air duct base 20, and a temperature sensor 13 (thermocouple) mounted on the air duct base 20 through the temperature sensor mounting hole 21. The monitoring system detects the real-time temperature of the test socket during KGD testing through the temperature sensor 13 (thermocouple), that is, the temperature sensor 13 (thermocouple) senses temperature changes.
[0025] In addition, the preferred KGD test socket also includes a first cross screw 6 for fixing the metal copper block 11 and the guide frame with through groove 7, a second cross screw 15 for fixing the air duct base 20 and the metal copper block 11, a pin 18 disposed in the connecting surface of the air duct base 20 and the metal copper block 11, and a cylindrical pin 2 and a first internal hex screw 3 for fixing the air duct top cover 4 and the air duct base 20. The above realizes the integration and quick disassembly structure between the air duct base 20 and the metal copper block 11, and the integration and quick disassembly structure between the air duct top cover 4 and the air duct base 20.
[0026] In addition, the preferred KGD test socket also includes second hexagonal screws 16 disposed at the four corners of the air-channel base 20, and bushings 10 disposed on the second hexagonal screws 16. During assembly, the second hexagonal screws 16 and bushings 10 are used to securely fasten the air-channel base 20 to the testing workbench (not shown in the figure, which does not affect the disclosure of the technical solution of this application).
[0027] In addition, the preferred KGD test socket also includes a set screw 14 disposed on one side of the air-channel base 20 and abutting against the temperature sensor 13, for fixing the temperature sensor 13 in the air-channel base 20, preventing the temperature sensor 13 from shifting, and making it convenient and reliable to adjust the assembly position of the temperature sensor 13.
[0028] In addition, the preferred KGD test socket also includes a sealing ring 1 disposed on one side of the cover 4 with the air passage, to prevent gas leakage during temperature adjustment in the test chamber formed by the cover 4 with the air passage and the base 20 with the air passage through a set of upper pneumatic connectors 5 and lower pneumatic connectors 17, thus ensuring the airtightness during the test.
[0029] The KGD test socket of this structure includes an upper pneumatic connector 5 and a lower pneumatic connector 17 for connecting pneumatic pipelines to transmit compressed air or gas; the slotted guide frame 7, after assembly, is located inside the air-channel base 20 to prevent the air-channel base 20 from moving relative to the metal copper block 11, improving motion accuracy and reducing wear; the signal connecting strip 8 transmits electrical signals or data, is used to connect circuit modules, transmit current or signals, reduce wiring complexity, and improve reliability; the connecting strip support plate 9 fixes the signal connecting strip, prevents deformation or loosening, provides rigid support, disperses stress, enhances structural stability, and extends the life of the connecting strip; the metal copper block 11 conducts heat and electricity or serves as structural support, utilizing the high thermal and electrical conductivity of copper to transmit energy or signals, with high heat dissipation efficiency, corrosion resistance, and excellent conductivity; the needle bushing 12 protects the precision probe, reduces friction, improves accuracy, and reduces wear.
[0030] The working principle or structural principle of the KGD test socket of this structure:
[0031] (1) Insert the probe 19 into the metal copper block 11, while the needle bushing 12 at one end of the probe 19 abuts against the surface of the signal connection strip 8.
[0032] (2) The chip to be tested 22 can be placed on the end face of the metal copper block 11 through the air channel base 20 and the through slot guide frame 7.
