Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of probe station testing technology, and in particular to a high and low temperature probe station testing device. Background Technology

[0002] High and low temperature probe stations are key equipment in the semiconductor testing field, used to perform electrical performance testing on chips, wafers or packaged devices in extreme temperature environments (such as -70℃ to 300℃).

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219417519U, which discloses a probe device for a low-temperature testing stage. The device includes a sample stage with a placement slot for placing the sample. By placing the sample in the slot, the sample is fixed in place by bolts, threaded holes, and a fixing plate, preventing positional shift when the sample aligns with the probe. A ball screw drives a nut to move up and down. The nut, through the meshing of a first driven rack, a drive gear, and a second driven rack, drives a second guide block to move vertically. The second guide block, through a traction rod and a third guide block, drives a ring block to move vertically downward. The ring block, through the first guide block, drives a connecting rod to move vertically up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the probe. The horizontal position of the probe can be adjusted by the interaction of a slider and a groove. The angle of the probe can be adjusted by rotating a rotating rod.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors have discovered the following deficiencies in this patent:

[0005] The fixing plate and the sample are moved and abutted by the cooperation of the bolts and threaded holes, thereby fixing the sample and preventing the sample from shifting position during low temperature testing. However, the positioning process requires manual tightening of multiple bolts in sequence, which makes the fixing process relatively rigid and reduces its flexibility.

[0006] Therefore, in response to the above problems, the applicant provides a high and low temperature probe station testing device. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this application provides a high and low temperature probe station testing device.

The sliders 17 are slidably connected to a slide groove 100.

[0030] The placement plate 8 is provided with a positioning mechanism that has a crankshaft 13 positioning function. The positioning mechanism includes a spring 12. The crankshaft 13 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 15. The crankshaft 13 contacts the moving plate 11. One side of the moving plate 11 contacts the spring 12.

[0031] Please see Figure 3 The high and low temperature test chamber 1 is hinged with a door 2, and a slot is opened on the door 2. An observation window 3 is embedded in the slot. A controller 4 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the high and low temperature test chamber 1. The observation window 3 allows the operator to observe the internal testing conditions of the high and low temperature test chamber 1. At the same time, the door 2 is used to replace the test piece and the probe station device 6.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 The top inner wall of the box door 2 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the input end of the electric push rod 5, and the output end of the electric push rod 5 is fixedly connected to the probe station device 6. The probe station device 6 consists of a probe, a circuit board, a support structure, and a calibration and positioning structure. The electric push rod 5 is electrically connected to the controller 4. The electric push rod 5 is externally powered and its up and down movement is controlled by the controller 4. The probe station device 6 is existing technology, and its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0033] Please see Figure 2 The door 2 is fixedly connected to both ends of the linear module 7 on both sides. The sliding end of the linear module 7 is fixedly connected to the placement plate 8. The top surface of the placement plate 8 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 9. The part to be tested is placed on the placement plate 8. The linear module 7 is wired to the controller 4. The working stroke of the placement plate 8 is controlled by the controller 4. By moving the placement plate 8 left and right, it is matched with the installation position of the probe station device 6 so that the probe station device 6 and the part to be tested on the placement plate 8 are aligned.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 The placement plate 8 has two sliding grooves 80, and a slider 10 is slidably connected to each of the two sliding grooves 80. The fixing plate 9 and the slider 10 together hold the part to be tested.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 A spring 12 is fixedly installed on one side of each of the two slide grooves 80. The spring 12 contacts the slider 10. A limit groove 110 is formed on the moving plate 11. The crankshaft 13 contacts the limit groove 110.

[0036] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6The placement plate 8 is fixedly connected to a limiting post 14 and a rotating shaft 15. The crankshaft 13 has a vertically penetrating arc groove 130 and a through hole 131. One end of the crankshaft 13 is provided with a throttle, and the throttle has a threaded hole 132. The limiting post 14 is located in the arc groove 130, and the rotating shaft 15 is located in the through hole 131. The screw 16 is threaded into the threaded hole 132.
