[0025] There are many specifications of surface mount semiconductor devices. When testing surface mount semiconductor devices, related technologies use special-type fixtures. These special-type fixtures can only be used for one type of surface mount semiconductor device. When the specifications of the surface mount semiconductor device to be tested change, the corresponding fixture needs to be changed. The inventors found that when there are many specifications of surface mount semiconductor devices to be tested, the need to frequently change fixtures leads to low testing efficiency. If test clamps are used for testing, human testing errors will occur, and the test results of different people will vary greatly, resulting in inaccurate testing.
[0026] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the inventor's practical experience and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure should be considered as the inventor's contribution to this disclosure.
[0027] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0028] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0029] like Figure 1As shown, at least one disclosed embodiment provides a test fixture, including: a base mechanism 1, wherein a test section 11 is provided with a pair of support blocks 12, the support blocks 12 being stepped, and each step of the two support blocks 12 being symmetrically arranged to form a placement station for semiconductor devices of corresponding specifications; a terminal block 15 is connected to the side wall of the test section 11 for electrical connection with the support block 12, the terminal block 15 being configured as an external test device, so that after the semiconductor device 3 is located in the corresponding placement station, the test device is connected through the terminal block 15 to form a test circuit for testing the semiconductor device 3, thereby realizing the testing of multiple specifications of semiconductor devices 3 using the same test fixture, reducing the time for testers to change fixtures, and improving testing efficiency.
[0030] In this embodiment, the top surface of the same step of the two support blocks 12 supports the same semiconductor device 3; each step of the support block 12 is configured to support a semiconductor device 3 of a corresponding specification; a terminal block 15 is connected to the side wall of the test section 11, and the terminal block 15 is configured to connect to a test device so that after the semiconductor device 3 is placed in the placement station, the test device is connected through the terminal block 15 to test the semiconductor device 3, thereby realizing the use of the same test fixture to test multiple specifications of semiconductor devices 3, reducing the time for testers to change fixtures and improving the testing efficiency.
[0031] In this embodiment, the different layers of steps on the support block 12 can support semiconductor devices 3 (surface mount semiconductor devices) of different specifications. When the specifications of the semiconductor device 3 change, it is only necessary to place the semiconductor device 3 on the corresponding step to achieve support for the semiconductor device 3, without the need to change the fixture.
[0032] In this embodiment, the steps on the support block 12 can be at least two layers, so as to support semiconductor devices 3 of different specifications.
[0033] In this embodiment, the steps on the support block 12 can be arranged from bottom to top, and the distance between the uppermost steps of the two support blocks 12 is larger, so that the uppermost steps can support larger semiconductor devices 3.

[0035] In this embodiment, the two support blocks 12 do not contact each other.
[0036] In this embodiment, the test conductive base 111 and the corresponding support block 12 can be integrally formed using the same material.
[0037] In one optional embodiment, the base mechanism 1 further includes: an insulating base 13; the test conductive seat 111 is connected to the top surface of the insulating base 13, and a groove 112 is formed between the two test conductive seats 111 and the insulating base 13.
[0038] In an optional embodiment, the base mechanism 1 further includes: an insulating plate 14; the insulating plate 14 is connected to the top surface of the insulating base 13 in the base mechanism 1; the test conductive seat 111 is connected to the insulating plate 14, and the insulating plate 14 extends above the top surface of the test conductive seat 111.
[0039] In this embodiment, the top surface of the groove 112 formed by the test conductive base 111 and the insulating base 13 is open, and a pair of side walls are also open. The insulating plate 14 is disposed outside the test conductive base 111 and blocks one side wall of the open groove 112. A portion of the insulating plate 14 extends above the top surface of the groove 112, blocking part of the top surface of the groove 112, so that the groove 112 has only one side open and the top surface is open. These open positions facilitate the placement of the semiconductor device 3 to be tested on the steps of the support block 12.
[0040] In this embodiment, the side wall portion of the test conductive base 111 exposes the insulating plate 14 so that the terminal block 15 can be exposed.

The spring 21 is located in the groove 141, and the insulating slider 22 is located in the groove 141. Other parts of the insulating slider 22 extend out of the groove 141 and are located in the groove 112 to facilitate pressing and clamping the semiconductor device 3. The groove 141 can limit the extension and retraction direction of the spring 21 and limit the movement direction of the insulating slider 22.
[0044] In this embodiment, when no semiconductor device 3 is placed on the step, the bottom surface of the insulating slider 22 is lower than the top surface of the bottom step, ensuring that when a semiconductor device 3 is placed on the top surface of the bottom step, the spring 21 is in a compressed state when the insulating slider 22 contacts the semiconductor device 3, thus ensuring the compression of the semiconductor device 3.
[0045] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to test the semiconductor device 3, the insulating slider 22 can be manually moved upward, and then the semiconductor device 3 can be placed on the corresponding step. The insulating slider 22 is released and pressed onto the semiconductor device 3 by the spring 21.

[0050] In one optional embodiment, the test conductive base 111 is connected to the top surface of the insulating base 13, and the top surface of the insulating base 13 is also connected to an insulating plate 14. The test conductive base 111 is connected to the insulating plate 14, and a portion of the insulating plate 14 extends above the top surface of the test conductive base 111. The top end of the spring 21 is connected to the portion of the insulating plate 14 located above the test conductive base 111, and the spring 21 is vertically arranged.
