Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wafer inspection, and particularly to a clamp jig for wafer-level aging inspection, a wafer-level aging inspection apparatus, an inspection method, and an inspection system.

Background Art

[0002] In the field of wafer-level aging inspection, it is necessary to place the wafer in a sealed inspection chamber for high-pressure and high-temperature inspection. In the prior art, generally, a PCB substrate is directly connected to a lower sealing cover to form a sealed inspection chamber, and then high-pressure and high-temperature inspection is performed on the wafer in the lower sealing cover. The technical solution for performing high-temperature and high-pressure inspection on the wafer in the lower sealing cover is generally to drive the PCB substrate and the lower sealing cover to descend together to a position where they cooperate with a heating device, thereby performing high-temperature inspection on the wafer in the lower sealing cover. Such an embodiment does not cause the PCB substrate to receive too much pressure. However, in the process of inspecting an 8-inch wafer, due to the large size of the wafer, it is easily bent and deformed in a high-temperature and high-pressure inspection environment, which affects the high-temperature and high-pressure inspection results of the wafer. In addition, a large pressure is required to tighten the chamber for an 8-inch wafer, and the wafer may be damaged if it is not firmly pressed. Since the 8-inch wafer has a large area in the wafer-level aging inspection process, it is easily bent and deformed in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, which affects the results of the wafer-level aging inspection. Therefore, it is necessary to use a more effective fixing method. For example, a fixing method in which the PCB substrate is separated from the lower sealing cover and pressed up and down to be adhered is used to press and adhere the wafer to avoid the wafer being bent and deformed. However, this method has not been seen in the prior art. In this method, during the process of pressing and adhering, if the PCB substrate receives too much pressure and is deformed, the contact between the inspection probe and the wafer may become weak or poor in contact, resulting in inspection errors.

[0003] Currently, a probe is used to connect a PCB board to an external inspection device. Such a connection method is a rigid connection, and there is a demand for higher levels of position and structure on the PCB board and the external inspection device. There is a high structural correlation between the external inspection device and the clamp fixture, the position is fixed, the installation and maintenance are complex, and there is a lack of flexibility in the structure and layout. Also, in the circuit, there are multiple contact points of the probe with the PCB board. The service life of the probe is limited. If any of the probes is damaged, it will affect the connection of the PCB board to the external inspection device, and thus directly affect the service life of the PCB board and the external inspection device, reducing reliability and stability. The clamp fixture contacts the contact point on the surface of the clamp fixture by one end of the probe, and the other end of the probe is directly connected to the external inspection device. Therefore, high precision is required for the processing and installation of the related structure, the size of the related structure is limited, the size of the wafer that the clamp fixture can accommodate is small, and the number of power supply channels is small.

[0004] In addition, in the wafer-level aging inspection process, generally, it is necessary to perform power supply inspection and heating inspection on the wafer, thereby inspecting the wafer-level aging characteristics of the wafer. However, for the heating inspection, a heating device is used to heat the wafer to a high temperature, thereby inspecting the high-temperature resistance characteristics of the wafer. In the prior art, generally, the heating device is provided at the bottom of the lower sealing cover assembly, and the lower sealing cover assembly is heated by a plurality of heating sheets, thereby performing a high-temperature inspection on the wafer in the lower sealing cover assembly. However, the method of heating with a plurality of heating sheets results in non-uniform heating of the wafer, and since the heating device is located outside the lower sealing cover assembly, the heat transfer rate is low, which affects the inspection efficiency of the wafer.

[0016] In particular, according to the first aspect of the present invention, It includes a cover plate assembly, a lower seal assembly, a heat sink, and a heating device. The heat sink is used for placing the wafer. The cover plate assembly includes a first PCB board and a micro-positioner for inspection probes connected to the first PCB board. The lower seal assembly includes a lower seal cover. The lower seal cover is connected to the cover plate assembly to form an inspection chamber.

A wafer-level aging inspection device is provided.

[0017] Optionally, the wafer-level aging inspection device includes an upper plate assembly and a bottom plate assembly. The upper plate assembly and the bottom plate assembly are connected by columns. The clamp jig for wafer-level aging inspection is provided below the upper plate assembly and connected to the upper plate assembly. The lifting mechanism includes a mounting bracket attached to the bottom plate assembly and a floating mechanism provided on the upper plate assembly. The floating mechanism is provided to float when the cover plate assembly is pressed by the lower seal cover, thereby avoiding deformation of the cover plate assembly.

[0018] In particular, according to the second aspect of the present invention, there is further provided a wafer-level aging inspection system, the wafer-level aging inspection system including a loading / unloading device, at least one inspection device, and at least one of the above-mentioned wafer-level aging inspection apparatuses, The loading / unloading device is used to place a wafer into the corresponding wafer-level aging inspection apparatus for performing wafer-level aging inspection, Any of the wafer-level aging inspection apparatuses is connected to the corresponding inspection device to perform wafer-level aging inspection.

[0019] In particular, according to the third aspect of the present invention, there is further provided After the loading of the wafer is completed, controlling the lifting mechanism to rise to a first height, whereby the lifting mechanism is connected to the lower sealing assembly; Controlling the lifting mechanism to continuously lift the lower sealing assembly in conjunction to a second height, whereby the lower sealing assembly moves until it is connected to the cover plate assembly to form an inspection chamber; Powering the heating device, the heat sink, and the micro-positioner for inspection probes included in the cover plate assembly, thereby performing wafer-level aging inspection on the wafer. There is provided an inspection method for use in the above-mentioned wafer-level aging inspection apparatus, including these steps.

[0020] In particular, according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, there is further provided a clamping jig for wafer-level aging inspection including a cover plate assembly and a lower sealing assembly, the cover plate assembly being connected to the lower sealing assembly to form an inspection chamber for accommodating a wafer.

[0021] Optionally, the cover plate assembly is a PCB substrate including a first region and a second region, wherein the first region and the second region are located on different sides of the PCB substrate respectively, and any of the first contacts provided in the first region is electrically connected to a corresponding second contact provided in the second region; a micropositioner for inspection probes located at the bottom of the PCB substrate and connected to the PCB substrate, having a plurality of inspection probes, one end of each of the inspection probes contacting a corresponding one of the first contacts and the other end contacting a wafer, thereby performing a wafer-level aging inspection on the wafer; and at least one connector attached to the second region of the PCB substrate, each of which is connected to a corresponding one of the second contacts, and each of the connectors is connected to an external inspection device by a wire harness, and the connector is used for performing a wafer-level aging inspection on the wafer.

[0022] Optionally, the clamping fixture for wafer-level aging inspection further includes a heat sink for placing the wafer and a heating device, the heat sink and the heating device are located in the inspection chamber, the heat sink is stacked above the heating device, the heating device is electrically connected to an electrical assembly located below the lower sealing assembly, and the heating device is a film heater layer having a resistance wire arranged uniformly and at least one power supply port connected to the resistance wire, provided on a side of the heat sink away from the wafer, and heating the wafer by the heat sink; and a connection assembly including at least one set of first connection probe sets passing through the lower sealing cover assembly, one end of each of the first connection probe sets contacting a corresponding one of the power supply ports and the other end passing through the lower sealing assembly and contacting the electrical assembly, thereby feeding power to and heating the film heater layer by the electrical assembly.

[0023] According to the embodiments of some examples of the present invention, a heating device is provided inside the lower sealing cover, and the wafer is placed on the heat sink. By using a lifting mechanism that can expand and contract vertically, the lower sealing assembly is moved upward in conjunction to be connected to the cover plate assembly to form an inspection chamber. The heat sink is firmly applied, and on a flat heat sink, the wafer is also flat and does not bend. The wafer can be pressed and adhered to avoid being damaged.

[0024] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism of the present invention includes a lifting assembly and an electrical assembly. After the lifting mechanism moves upward until the lower sealing assembly is connected to the cover plate assembly in conjunction, the electrical assembly of the lifting mechanism is used to supply power to the heating device and the heat sink inside the inspection chamber. That is, the lifting mechanism not only realizes lifting to press and adhere the wafer, but also realizes supplying power to the heating device and the heat sink, thereby optimizing the structure of the wafer-level aging inspection device.

[0025] According to the embodiments of some other examples of the present invention, a floating mechanism is provided on the upper plate assembly of the mounting bracket. The floating mechanism is provided to float when the cover plate assembly is pressed by the lower sealing cover, so that the cover plate assembly can avoid being deformed under pressure, ensure that the inspection probe on the cover plate assembly contacts the wafer, and improve the stability of the contact, thereby improving the accuracy of the wafer-level aging inspection.

[0026] Furthermore, in the present invention, during the process of the lifting mechanism ascending and descending, the pads at the top of the second PCB board of the electrical assembly cooperate with the lower sealing cover to supply power to the heating device and the heat sink, thereby realizing the high-pressure and high-temperature inspection of the wafer. That is, the lifting mechanism not only realizes lifting to press and adhere the wafer, but also realizes providing the conditions for inspecting the wafer inside the lower sealing cover, thereby optimizing the structure of the wafer-level aging inspection device.

[0027] According to the embodiments of some further examples of the present invention, by newly installing a connector in the second region of the PCB substrate and connecting the connector to an external inspection device using a wire harness, the conventional method of connection using probes is cancelled, that is, a rigid connection is replaced with a flexible connection. As a result, the relative positions of the wafer-level aging inspection clamp fixture and the external inspection device can be set flexibly respectively, and the number of channels for supplying power to the wafer can be increased. Also, when connecting to an external inspection device using probes, there are many contact points and the reliability of the circuit connection is low. However, the present invention uses a wire harness for connection and there are no contact points, thus improving the reliability of the circuit connection.

[0028] Furthermore, at least one groove is provided at the edge of the micro-positioner for the inspection probe of the present invention, and at least one positioning post is provided at the support part of the connecting component. Each positioning post is arranged corresponding to one groove, thereby positioning the micro-positioner for the inspection probe. The cooperation of the positioning post and the groove limits the position of the micro-positioner for the inspection probe. The groove is not closed, and the positioning post only contacts the two sides of the groove along the circumferential direction of the micro-positioner. When the micro-positioner for the inspection probe and the connecting component expand due to heating, the positioning post can slide slightly along the radial direction of the micro-positioner for the inspection probe in the groove and does not press against the groove, so the stress when the micro-positioner for the inspection probe and the connecting component expand is eliminated, and deformation of the micro-positioner for the inspection probe and the connecting component can be avoided.

[0029] Furthermore, the present invention provides a load-bearing column passing through the PCB substrate. One end of the load-bearing column is connected to the upper sealing cover located at the top of the PCB substrate, and the other end protrudes from the bottom surface of the PCB substrate. When the pressing adhesion force in the inspection chamber is too large and the lower sealing cover is too close to the PCB substrate, the load-bearing column contacts the lower sealing cover prior to the PCB substrate, receiving the pressing adhesion force of the inspection chamber, thereby preventing the PCB substrate from being damaged by excessive pressure.

[0030] According to still some embodiments of the present invention, the heating device of the wafer-level aging inspection clamping fixture includes a film heater layer and a connection assembly. The film heater layer has a resistance wire uniformly arranged thereon and at least one power supply port connected to the resistance wire. The film heater layer is provided on the side of the heat sink away from the wafer, heating the wafer by the heat sink. The connection assembly includes at least one set of first connection probe sets passing through the lower sealing assembly. One end of each of the first connection probe sets contacts the corresponding power supply port, and the other end passes through the lower sealing assembly and contacts the electrical assembly, thereby supplying power to the film heater layer by the electrical assembly, and thus the film heater layer heats the wafer on the heat sink. The above technical solution uses a film heater layer with a uniformly arranged resistance wire, canceling the technical solution of the prior art using multiple heating sheets, thereby making the heating of the wafer uniform and avoiding local overheating of the wafer. Also, compared with the prior art embodiment of providing the heating device inside the lower sealing cover assembly, that is, integrating the lower sealing cover assembly and the heating device and providing a secondary structure to bring the lower sealing cover assembly into contact with the heating device, the structure of the wafer-level aging inspection device is simplified, and the heating efficiency of the heating device for the wafer is improved, thereby improving the inspection efficiency of the wafer.

[0031] Furthermore, the film heater layer of the heating device of the present invention has a resistance wire uniformly arranged thereon and at least one power supply port connected to the resistance wire. The first connection probe set is directly connected to the resistance wire by the power supply port, thereby realizing uniform heating of the film heater layer, avoiding providing a plurality of probe assemblies corresponding to a plurality of heating sheets, and simplifying the structure of the heating device.

[0032] Furthermore, the heating device of the present invention further includes a ceramic plate, which is located between the second heat insulation component and the heat sink, and is used to transfer the heat generated in the film heater layer to the heat sink to avoid damaging the wafer when the heating device is in direct contact with the wafer, thereby reducing the defect rate of the wafer in the wafer-level aging inspection process.

In this embodiment, when it is necessary to adsorb the heat sink 22A, the first gas hole 29A of the lower sealing cover 20A communicates with the bottom of the heat sink 22A, that is, it is necessary to penetrate the ceramic plate 23A, otherwise the bottom of the heat sink 22A cannot be adsorbed. When it is necessary to adsorb the wafer, the first gas hole 29A needs to penetrate the heat sink 22A, whereby the adsorption of the wafer can be realized. The gas flow path 316A has a gas flow path connection port 317A, and the gas flow path connection port 317A is connected to the external gas passage by a joint.

[0051] In this embodiment, when performing wafer-level aging inspection on the wafer, it is necessary to fill nitrogen into the inspection chamber 21A. Specifically, nitrogen is filled into the inspection chamber 21A from the gas flow path 316A, the second gas holes 312A and the first gas holes 29A through the external gas passage. Nitrogen acts as a protective gas, thereby preventing high-voltage sparks of the wafer in the high-voltage inspection process.

[0052] In this embodiment, at the topmost part of the second PCB substrate 311A, a sealing assembly 313A for sealing when injecting gas into the first gas hole 29A and the second gas hole 312A is further provided, thereby avoiding gas leakage.

The second interface set 111A may be provided on any second side of the first PCB substrate 11A other than the first side. The wafer-level aging inspection clamp fixture 10A further includes a plurality of connectors 14A. The plurality of connectors 14A are attached to the second side of the first PCB substrate 11A.

That is, a rigid connection is replaced with a flexible connection, whereby the relative positions of the wafer-level aging inspection clamp jig 10A and the external inspection device can be set flexibly, respectively, and the number of channels for supplying power to the wafer can be increased. Further, when connecting to an external inspection device using a probe, there are many contact points and the reliability of the circuit connection is low. However, in the present invention, a wire harness is used for connection and there are no contact points, thereby improving the reliability of the circuit connection.

[0057] In this embodiment, the wafer-level aging inspection device 100A further includes a mounting base 50A. The mounting base 50A includes a bottom plate assembly 51A, a support platform 55A, and a pair of first slide grooves 54A. The support platform 55A is used to support the lower sealing assembly.

Both ends of the support platform 55A are slidably connected to the corresponding first slide grooves 54A, respectively. The lower sealing assembly is interlocked by the support platform 55A and moves along the extending direction of the first slide grooves 54A. When loading or unloading the wafer, the lower sealing assembly slides out to the outside of the mounting base 50A along the first slide grooves 54A.

Also, the cover plate assembly 70A can be pulled out, and the corresponding wafer-level aging inspection clamp jig 10A for different types of wafers can be replaced, which is helpful for the replacement of the wafer-level aging inspection clamp jig 10A, and the convenience of the wafer-level aging inspection for the wafer is improved.

[0061] FIG. 9 is a schematic process diagram of an inspection method used in a wafer-level aging inspection apparatus 100A according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9, the inspection method used in the wafer-level aging inspection apparatus 100A includes the following steps. Step S100, after the loading of the wafer is completed, the lifting mechanism 30A is controlled to rise to the first height, whereby the lifting mechanism 30A is connected to the lower sealing assembly. Step S200, the lifting mechanism 30A is controlled to continue to lift the lower sealing assembly in conjunction to the second height, whereby the lower sealing assembly moves until it is connected to the cover plate assembly 70A to form the inspection chamber 21A.

[0064] FIG. 10 is a schematic structural diagram of a wafer-level aging inspection apparatus 100B according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 11 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a floating mechanism 60B and an upper plate assembly 11B in the wafer-level aging inspection apparatus 100B shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 12 is a schematic enlarged view of part A in FIG. 11. FIG. 13 is a schematic structural diagram of a lower cover plate 111B in the wafer-level aging inspection apparatus 100B shown in FIG. 10. As shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, in this embodiment, the wafer-level aging inspection apparatus 100B includes a mounting base 10B, a wafer-level aging inspection clamp jig, a lifting mechanism 40B, and a floating mechanism 60B. However, the mounting base 10B includes an upper plate assembly 11B and a bottom plate assembly 12B, and the upper plate assembly 11B and the bottom plate assembly 12B are connected by a support column 13B. The wafer-level aging inspection clamp jig is provided below the upper plate assembly 11B and is connected to the upper plate assembly 11B. The wafer-level aging inspection clamp jig includes a cover plate assembly 20B and a lower seal assembly. The lower seal assembly includes a lower seal cover 30B. The lower seal cover 30B is connected to the cover plate assembly 20B to form an inspection chamber for placing a wafer. The cover plate assembly 20B has a micropositioner 21B for inspection probes. The lifting mechanism 40B is attached to the bottom plate assembly 12B and is located below the lower seal cover 30B. The lifting mechanism 40B is provided to expand and contract vertically under control. The lifting mechanism 40B movably abuts against the wafer-level aging inspection clamp jig, thereby moving the lower seal assembly upward in conjunction to connect it to the cover plate assembly 20B to form an inspection chamber. The floating mechanism 60B is provided on the upper plate assembly 11B. The floating mechanism 60B is provided to float when the cover plate assembly 20B is pressed by the lower seal cover 30B, thereby avoiding deformation of the cover plate assembly 20B.

[0065] In this embodiment, a floating mechanism 60B is provided on the upper plate assembly 11B of the mounting base 10B. The floating mechanism 60B is provided to float when the cover plate assembly 20B is pressed by the lower sealing cover 30B. Thereby, the cover plate assembly 20B can be prevented from deforming under pressure, ensuring that the inspection probe on the cover plate assembly 20B contacts the wafer, improving the stability of the contact, and thereby improving the accuracy of the wafer-level aging inspection.

[0066] In this embodiment, the upper plate assembly 11B includes an upper cover plate 112B and a lower cover plate 111B. The lower cover plate 111B has a limiting groove 114B. The floating mechanism 60B includes a floating plate 61B and a telescopic assembly 63B. However, the floating plate 61B is provided at the top of the cover plate assembly 20B and is located in the limiting groove 114B. The floating plate 61B protrudes from the bottom of the lower cover plate 111B. The telescopic assembly 63B is connected to the upper cover plate 112B, and its bottom is connected to or abuts against the floating plate 61B. Thereby, when the floating plate 61B is pressed by the cover plate assembly 20B, it is compressed to move the floating plate 61B upward, thereby preventing the cover plate assembly 20B from deforming under pressure and affecting the aging inspection of the wafer.

[0067] In this embodiment, the cover plate assembly 20B includes a first PCB substrate 22B and a micro-positioner 21B for inspection probes, which is attached below the first PCB substrate 22B. This embodiment mainly prevents the first PCB substrate 22B from deforming under pressure. Since the first PCB substrate 22B is connected to the micro-positioner 21B for inspection probes and a plurality of inspection probes are provided on the micro-positioner 21B for inspection probes, by avoiding the deformation of the first PCB substrate 22B, it is possible to avoid the movement of the inspection probes and the occurrence of poor contact. In addition, the floating mechanism 60B provided in this embodiment can also prevent the inspection probes from being damaged by receiving too much force, and extends the service life of the inspection probes.

[0068] As shown in FIG. 12, the floating plate 61B is connected to the lower cover plate 111B and a gap is provided between the floating plate 61B and the upper cover plate 112B. When the floating plate 61B receives a large pressure, the floating plate 61B can move within this gap. That is, this gap is the movement stroke of the floating plate 61B, and the movement stroke of the floating plate 61B can be designed based on the design requirements.

[0069] In this embodiment, the floating plate 61B is circular and is arranged opposite to the micro-positioner 21B for inspection probes. When the lower sealing cover 30B moves upward and contacts the cover plate assembly 20B, it is necessary to seal the micro-positioner 21B for inspection probes within the lower sealing cover 30B. Therefore, it mainly abuts around the micro-positioner 21B for inspection probes, and the force applied to the cover plate assembly 20B is mainly near the micro-positioner 21B for inspection probes. Therefore, this embodiment arranges the floating plate 61B opposite to the micro-positioner 21B for inspection probes, thereby more surely avoiding the pressing of the first PCB substrate 22B and avoiding the deformation of the first PCB substrate 22B.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment, the size of the floating plate 61B is larger than the size of the micro-positioner 21B for inspection probes and smaller than the size of the lower sealing cover 30B. In other embodiments, the size of the floating plate 61B may be set based on specific design requirements. For example, it may be set to be larger than the size of the lower sealing cover 30B.

[0071] FIG. 14 is a schematic attachment view of the floating plate 61B and the lower cover plate 111B in the wafer-level aging inspection apparatus 100B shown in FIG. 10, and FIG. 15 is a schematic structural view of the upper cover plate 112B in the wafer-level aging inspection apparatus 100B shown in FIG. 10. As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 and as also referred to in FIG. 12, in this embodiment, at least one first attachment groove 113B is provided at the bottom of the upper cover plate 112B, and at least one second attachment groove 62B is provided at the uppermost part of the floating plate 61B. Each second attachment groove 62B corresponds to one first attachment groove 113B. The telescopic assembly 63B includes at least one elastic component 631B, and each elastic component 631B is provided inside corresponding to one first attachment groove 113B and second attachment groove 62B. Here, each elastic component 631B is penetrated through a connecting rod 632B, and the connecting rod 632B is connected to the upper cover plate 112B.

[0072] In a preferred embodiment, the number of elastic components 631B is plural, and the plural elastic components 631B are uniformly arranged at the uppermost part of the floating plate 61B. The number of both the first attachment grooves 113B and the second attachment grooves 62B is plural. The plural first attachment grooves 113B are uniformly arranged at positions corresponding to the floating plate 61B, and the plural second attachment grooves 62B may be understood to be uniformly arranged on the floating plate 61B. Thereby, a force is uniformly applied to the first PCB substrate 22B of the cover plate assembly 20B, and local deformation of the first PCB substrate 22B is avoided.

[0073] In this embodiment, the mounting base 10B further includes a pair of slide grooves 70B. The slide grooves 70B are connected to the lower cover plate 111B, and any one of the slide grooves 70B extends along the horizontal direction. Both ends of the cover plate assembly 20B are slidably connected to the corresponding slide grooves 70B respectively. The cover plate assembly 20B can be taken out from the upper plate assembly 11B, and the corresponding cover plate assembly 20B can be replaced for different types of wafers, which is helpful for the replacement of the cover plate assembly 20B, improves the convenience of wafer-level aging inspection, and may also be understood to be helpful for the replacement of the micro-positioner for inspection probes on the cover plate assembly 20B.

[0074] In this embodiment, the wafer-level aging inspection device 100B further includes a photographing device 50B. The photographing device 50B is attached to the mounting base 10B and is used to detect whether the inspection chamber is formed when the lower sealing cover 30B abuts against the cover plate assembly 20B and the first PCB board 22B is connected.

[0075] FIG. 16 is a schematic structural diagram of the lifting mechanism in the wafer-level aging inspection device shown in FIG. 10. As shown in FIG. 16 and also with reference to FIG. 10, in this embodiment, the wafer-level aging inspection clamp fixture further includes a heat sink and a heating device. The heat sink and the heating device are located in the inspection chamber. The lifting mechanism 40B includes an electrical assembly 41B. The electrical assembly 41B includes a second PCB board 411B. The uppermost part of the second PCB board 411B has a pad position 412B for supplying power to the heat sink and the heating device, thereby performing wafer-level aging inspection on the wafer.

[0076] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 40B further includes a lifting assembly 42B connected to the electrical assembly 41B. The electrical assembly 41B is provided at the free end of the lifting assembly 42B. The lifting assembly 42B drives the electrical assembly 41B to move upward, so that the pad position 412B cooperates with the lower sealing cover 30B, drives the lower sealing cover 30B, and moves upward until it abuts and connects to the cover plate assembly 20B to form an inspection chamber.

[0077] In this embodiment, during the process of the lifting mechanism 40B lifting, the uppermost pad of the second PCB board 411B of the electrical assembly 41B cooperates with the lower sealing cover 30B to supply power to the heating device and the heat sink, thereby realizing the high-voltage and high-temperature inspection of the wafer. That is, the lifting mechanism 40B not only realizes lifting to press and adhere the wafer, but also realizes providing the conditions for inspecting the wafer within the lower sealing cover 30B, thereby optimizing the structure of the wafer-level aging inspection device 100B.

[0078] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 42B includes a plurality of worm gear assemblies 422B and a motor 421B. The plurality of worm gear assemblies 422B are respectively connected to the electrical assembly 41B, and the motor 421B is connected to the plurality of worm gear assemblies 422B, thereby driving the plurality of worm gear assemblies 422B to drive the electrical assembly 41B to move up and down in conjunction. In other embodiments, as the lifting assembly 42B, other components, such as a cylinder, etc., may be used.

[0079] The present invention further provides a clamping fixture for wafer-level aging inspection. The clamping fixture for wafer-level aging inspection includes a cover plate assembly and a lower sealing assembly. The cover plate assembly is connected to the lower sealing assembly to form an inspection chamber for accommodating the wafer.

[0080] FIG. 17 is a schematic structural diagram of a clamp fixture 100C for wafer-level aging inspection according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 18 is a schematic exploded view of the clamp fixture 100C for wafer-level aging inspection according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 19 is a schematic positional diagram of the clamp fixture 100C for wafer-level aging inspection and an external inspection device 200C according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 20 is a schematic structural diagram of a PCB board 10C shown in FIG. 18. In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 17 to 20, the clamp fixture 100C for wafer-level aging inspection includes a cover plate assembly 110C and a lower seal assembly 120C, and the cover plate assembly 110C is connected to the lower seal assembly 120C to form an inspection chamber 121C for accommodating a wafer. The cover plate assembly 110C includes a PCB board 10C, a micro-positioner 20C for inspection probes, and at least one connector 30C. However, the PCB board 10C includes a first region 11C and a second region 12C, the first region 11C and the second region 12C are located on different sides of the PCB board 10C respectively, and any of the first contacts 13C provided in the first region 11C is electrically connected to a corresponding second contact 14C provided in the second region 12C. The micro-positioner 20C for inspection probes is located at the bottom of the PCB board 10C and is connected to the PCB board 10C. The micro-positioner 20C for inspection probes has a plurality of inspection probes 21C. One end of each of the inspection probes 21C contacts a corresponding first contact 13C, and the other end contacts the wafer, thereby performing a wafer-level aging inspection on the wafer. The connector 30C is attached to the second region 12C of the PCB board 10C. Any of the connectors 30C is connected to a corresponding second contact 14C, and any of the connectors 30C is connected to an external inspection device 200C by a wire harness 300C and is used to perform a wafer-level aging inspection on the wafer.

[0081] Here, a probe hole is machined in the inspection probe micropositioner 20C. The inspection probe 21C is a spring hole and is mounted within the probe hole. It may be understood that the inspection probe 21C pierces a chip on the wafer to energize the chip. The first region 11C and the second region 12C are two non-overlapping and electrically connected regions on the PCB substrate 10C. A first contact 13C is provided on the surface of the first region 11C, and each of the first contacts is electrically connected by an internal circuit of the PCB substrate 10C to a corresponding second contact 14C provided within the second region 12C. The external inspection device 200C is connected to the connector 30C on the second region 12C by a flexible wire harness 300C or a cable. The second region 12C transmits an inspection signal to the first region 11C, and the first region 11C transmits a signal to the wafer within the inspection chamber 121C by the inspection probe 21C, thereby performing a wafer-level aging inspection on the wafer. The connector 30C is flexibly connected to the external inspection device 200C, with a simple structure and a flexible and reliable layout.

[0082] In this embodiment, a connector 30C is newly provided in the second region 12C of the PCB substrate 10C, and the connector 30C is connected to the external inspection device 200C using the wire harness 300C, thereby canceling the conventional method of connection using a probe. That is, a rigid connection is replaced with a flexible connection, whereby the relative positions of the wafer-level aging inspection clamp fixture 100C and the external inspection device 200C can be set flexibly respectively. The structural correlation between the wafer-level aging inspection clamp fixture 100C and the external inspection device 200C is weakened, and the number of channels for supplying power to the wafer can be increased. Also, when connecting to the external inspection device 200C using a probe, there are many contact points, and the reliability of the circuit connection is low. However, in the present invention, connection is made using the wire harness 300C, and since there are no contact points, the reliability of the circuit connection is thereby improved. Moreover, the wafer-level aging inspection clamp fixture 100C can be independently and conveniently attached and detached, so the maintainability is improved.

[0083] The wafer-level aging inspection clamp fixture 100C of the present invention has a compact structure and high integration, thereby increasing the number of channels connected to the hardware in a small size, supporting wafer-level aging inspection for up to 8-inch SiC wafers, and providing more than 2,000 power supply and wafer-level aging inspection channels.

[0084] In this embodiment, there are a plurality of connectors 30C, and the plurality of connectors 30C are arranged in an array on the PCB substrate 10C. The plurality of connectors 30C are densely attached to the second region 12C and connected to the external inspection device 200C by a flexible wire harness 300C or a cable. By arranging the connectors 30C in an array, the second region 12C of the PCB substrate 10C can be fully utilized, the usage area of the PCB substrate 10C can be saved, and the number of power supply channels per unit area can be further increased to achieve high-density multi-channel wafer-level aging inspection.

[0085] FIG. 21 is a schematic structural diagram of the inspection probe micropositioner 20C according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 22 is a schematic enlarged view of part A in FIG. 21, FIG. 23 is a schematic structural diagram of the connection component 40 according to the present invention, and FIG. 24 is a schematic enlarged view of part B in FIG. 23. As shown in FIGS. 21 to 24, in this embodiment, the inspection probe micropositioner 20C is circular, and the wafer-level aging inspection clamp fixture 100C further includes an annular connection component 40C. The connection component 40C is connected to the PCB substrate 10C, is externally fitted to the outer periphery of the inspection probe micropositioner 20C, and is connected to the inspection probe micropositioner 20C. Here, the connection component 40C presses the inspection probe micropositioner 20C and locks it to the inspection probe micropositioner 20C, whereby the inspection probe micropositioner 20C is fixed to the PCB substrate 10C, and the structural stability of the wafer-level aging inspection clamp fixture 100C is improved. In this embodiment, the connection component 40C and the PCB substrate are connected by bolts.

[0086] In this embodiment, the micro-positioner 20C for inspection probes is made of a material with high hardness and low expansion rate. When using the clamping jig 100C for wafer-level aging inspection, the micro-positioner 20C for inspection probes and the PCB board 10C are fixed to specific positions relative to each other without relative displacement. Otherwise, the inspection probe 21C on the micro-positioner 20C for inspection probes cannot contact the PCB board 10C and is blocked. The conventional micro-positioner 20C for inspection probes and the connecting component 40C are positioned by the cooperation of a pin and a cylindrical hole. When the micro-positioner 20C for inspection probes is used, the environmental temperature is close to 200 °C at most. Due to the high temperature, the micro-positioner 20C for inspection probes and the connecting component 40C will inevitably expand. Since the materials of both are different and the difference in expansion rate is large, the pin and the cylindrical hole press against each other, generating a very large stress. Furthermore, problems such as cracking damage to the micro-positioner 20C for inspection probes or deformation of the connecting component 40C occur, making it difficult to remove.

[0087] In this embodiment, at least one groove 22C is provided at the edge of the inspection probe micro-positioner 20C. The connection component 40C has a support portion 41C for supporting the inspection probe micro-positioner 20C, and at least one positioning post 42C is provided on the support portion 41C. Each positioning post 42C is arranged corresponding to one groove 22C, thereby positioning the inspection probe micro-positioner 20C. The cooperation between the positioning post 42C and the groove 22C limits the position of the inspection probe micro-positioner 20C. When the inspection probe micro-positioner 20C and the connection component 40C expand due to heating, the positioning post 42C can slide slightly in the groove 22C without pressing against the groove 22C, eliminating the stress during the expansion of the inspection probe micro-positioner 20C and the connection component 40C, and avoiding deformation of the inspection probe micro-positioner 20C and the connection component 40C. In this embodiment, the number of both the groove 22C and the positioning post 42C is set to three, and the three grooves 22C are distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the inspection probe micro-positioner 20C at the edge of the micro-positioner.

[0088] In this embodiment, the opening of the groove 22C is provided facing the corresponding positioning post 42C. Here, the groove 22C is not closed, and the positioning post 42C only contacts the two sides along the circumferential direction of the micro-positioner on the groove 22C. When the inspection probe micro-positioner 20C and the connection component 40C expand due to heating, the positioning post 42C can slide slightly along the radial direction of the inspection probe micro-positioner 20C in the groove 22C, without the positioning post 42C pressing against the groove 22C, and avoiding the generation of stress and deformation during the expansion of the inspection probe micro-positioner 20C and the connection component 40C.

[0089] The cover plate assembly 110C and the lower seal assembly 120C are connected to form an airtight sealed inspection chamber 121C. A seal ring 122C is provided at the top of the lower seal assembly 120C. When the lower seal assembly 120C moves upward, the seal ring 122C is first connected to the PCB substrate 10C, then compressed, and an airtight seal is formed after compression. The inspection chamber 121C having airtightness has a certain air pressure, generating a pressing adhesion force that combines the lower seal assembly 120C and the PCB substrate 10C. However, if the pressing adhesion force in the inspection chamber 121C is too large, the lower seal assembly 120C will contact the PCB substrate 10C and transmit too large a force to the PCB substrate 10C.

[0090] FIG. 25 is a schematic position diagram of the endurance component 60C according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 26 is a schematic structural diagram of the endurance component 60C shown in FIG. 25. As shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, in this embodiment, the wafer-level aging inspection clamp jig 100C further includes a circular upper seal cover 50C, and the upper seal cover 50C is located at the top of the PCB substrate 10C. The wafer-level aging inspection clamp jig 100C further includes a plurality of endurance components 60C arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the upper seal cover 50C. Each endurance component 60C includes an endurance column 61C. The endurance column 61C passes through the PCB substrate 10C and is connected to the upper seal cover 50C. The endurance column 61C protrudes from the bottom surface of the PCB substrate 10C. Here, the upper seal cover 50C is tightly connected to the PCB substrate 10C by the seal ring 122C of the lower seal assembly 120C, imparting airtightness to the top of the first region 11C. There are endurance columns 61C arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the upper seal cover 50C on the PCB substrate 10C. The endurance columns 61C protrude from the bottom surface of the PCB substrate 10C. When the pressing adhesion force in the inspection chamber 121C is too large and the lower seal cover 120C is too close to the PCB substrate 10C, the endurance columns 61C contact the lower seal cover 120C before the PCB substrate 10C, receiving the pressing adhesion force of the inspection chamber 121C, thereby avoiding the PCB substrate 10C from receiving too large a pressure.

[0091] In this embodiment, the height of the endurance pillar 61C protruding from the bottom surface of the PCB substrate 10C is any value between 0.1 and 0.2 mm. If the height of the endurance pillar 61C protruding from the bottom surface of the PCB substrate 10C is too high, it will affect the sealing performance between the PCB substrate 10C and the lower sealing cover 120C. If it is too low, it is difficult to exert the endurance effect. In this embodiment, the height of the endurance pillar 61C protruding from the bottom surface of the PCB substrate 10C is 0.1 mm. When the pressing adhesion force of the inspection chamber 121C is too large, it can be connected to the lower sealing cover 120C before the PCB substrate 10C, so that the PCB substrate 10C can avoid being damaged by receiving too much pressure.

[0092] In this embodiment, the endurance component 60C further includes at least one spacer 62C externally fitted to the endurance pillar 61C, thereby adjusting the height of the endurance pillar 61C protruding from the bottom surface of the PCB substrate 10C. In this embodiment, the thickness of each spacer 62C is 0.1 mm, and the height of the endurance pillar 61C protruding from the bottom surface of the PCB substrate 10C may be adjusted by adjusting the number of spacers 62C.

[0093] In this embodiment, the wafer-level aging inspection clamp fixture 100C further includes a heat dissipation component 70C attached to the PCB substrate 10C. The heat dissipation component 70C is located between the first region 11C and the second region 12C and is used to block the heat generated in the first region 11C. In the wafer-level aging inspection process, since the wafer is continuously heated, the temperature of the first region 11C is high, and the heat diffuses to affect other regions of the PCB substrate 10C. The high temperature has an adverse effect on the connector 30C and further affects the accuracy of the wafer-level aging inspection. To avoid the high temperature affecting the connector 30C, the present invention provides a heat dissipation component 70C between the first region 11C and the second region 12C.

[0094] In this embodiment, a copper foil sheet is laid on the surface of the PCB substrate 10C at the position where the heat dissipation component 70C is attached. As a result, the heat diffused in the first region 11C is concentrated at the position where the heat dissipation component 70C is attached. The heat dissipation component 70C includes a fan and heat dissipation fins. The fan is located on the side edge along the width direction on the PCB substrate 10C and generates an air flow capable of carrying away heat. The air flow blows from one side in the width direction of the PCB substrate 10C to the other side, avoiding the heat in the first region 11C from diffusing to the second region 12C, thereby avoiding the high temperature from affecting the connector 30C, protecting the wafer level aging inspection clamp fixture 100C, and improving the accuracy of the wafer level aging inspection.

[0095] In this embodiment, the wafer level aging inspection clamp fixture 100C further includes a structural component 80C that is located at the top of the PCB substrate 10C and is connected to the upper sealing cover 50C. The wafer level aging inspection clamp fixture 100C further includes a plurality of reinforcing components 90C that are located at the top of the PCB substrate 10C. The plurality of reinforcing components 90C are respectively provided on the outer peripheral side of the structural component 80C, the edge of the PCB substrate 10C, and the second region 12C. Here, the reinforcing component 90C is connected by screws between the periphery of the PCB substrate 10C and between adjacent connector 30C sets on the second region 12C, and the structural strength of the wafer level aging inspection clamp fixture 100C is improved. The structural component 80C is simultaneously connected to the reinforcing component 90C on the first region 11C and the PCB substrate 10C, and can impart strength to the stressed part of the PCB substrate 10C.

[0096] FIG. 27 is a schematic structural diagram of a lifting mechanism 400C according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 27, this embodiment further provides a wafer-level aging inspection device, and the wafer-level aging inspection device includes a wafer-level aging inspection clamp fixture 100C and a lifting mechanism 400C. The lifting mechanism 400C is provided to expand and contract vertically under control, and the lifting mechanism 400C movably abuts against the wafer-level aging inspection clamp fixture 100C, thereby moving the lower sealing assembly 120C upward in conjunction to connect to the cover plate assembly 110C to form an inspection chamber 121C.

[0097] Before using the wafer-level aging inspection clamp fixture 100C of the present invention, first connect the connector 30C to an external inspection device 200C and a hardware circuit. When the wafer-level aging inspection clamp fixture 100C operates, the cover plate assembly 110C connects to the lower sealing assembly 120C to form an inspection chamber 121C having airtightness, thereby performing a wafer-level aging inspection on the wafer. Specifically, the wafer is placed at a specific position in the inspection chamber 121C, the cover plate assembly 110C does not move, the lower sealing assembly 120C is lifted from below the inspection probe micropositioner 20C, and when the seal ring 122C of the lower sealing assembly 120C connects to the PCB substrate 10C and is slightly compressed, an airtight sealed inspection chamber 121C is formed.

[0098] During the process of lifting the lower sealing assembly 120C, the inspection probe 21C on the inspection probe micro-positioner 20C pierces the inspection point at a specific position on the surface of the wafer. The inspection probe 21C is a spring hole and is compressed by a predetermined stroke. When the tip of the inspection probe 21C contacts the surface of the wafer to generate a predetermined pressure, a circuit for power feeding aging and inspection of the wafer is formed, and at this time, power feeding aging and inspection of the wafer can be performed. The lower sealing assembly 120C forms an airtight space together with the PCB substrate 10C and the upper sealing cover 50C, and a specific compressed gas can be filled into the airtight space to protect the wafer. In high-voltage inspection, the compressed gas can prevent the high-voltage arc from damaging the inspection probe 21C or the wafer.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 28-32, in this embodiment, the present invention provides a clamp jig 400D for wafer-level aging inspection. The clamp jig 400D for wafer-level aging inspection includes a cover plate assembly 80D, a lower sealing assembly 210D, and a heat sink 230D for placing a wafer 300D. The cover plate assembly 80D is connected to the lower sealing assembly 210D to form an inspection chamber 211D. The heat sink 230D is located within the inspection chamber 211D. The heating device 100D is located within the inspection chamber 211D. The heat sink 230D is stacked above the heating device 100D. The heating device 100D is electrically connected to an electrical assembly 226D located below the lower sealing assembly 210D. The heating device 100D includes a film heater layer 10D and a connection assembly 20D. The film heater layer 10D has a resistance wire 11D arranged uniformly and at least one power supply port 12D connected to the resistance wire 11D. The film heater layer 10D is provided on the side of the heat sink 230D away from the wafer 300D to heat the wafer 300D by the heat sink 230D. The connection assembly 20D includes at least one set of first connection probe sets 21D passing through the lower sealing assembly 210D. One end of each of the first connection probe sets 21D contacts a corresponding power supply port 12D, and the other end passes through the lower sealing assembly 210D to contact the electrical assembly 226D. Thereby, the electrical assembly 226D supplies power to and heats the film heater layer 10D, thereby heating the wafer 300D on the heat sink 230D.

[0100] The film heater layer 10D contacts the lifting mechanism 220D by the first connection probe set 21D. Thereby, the lifting mechanism 220D supplies power to the resistance wire 11D inside the film heater layer 10D. Thereby, the film heater layer 10D is uniformly electrically conducted and heated by the power supply port 12D, thereby realizing uniform heating of the wafer 300D by the heating device 100D, and avoiding the wafer 300D from being damaged or affecting the inspection effect due to non-uniform heating. Here, in the inspection chamber 211D of the lower sealing assembly 210D, the wafer 300D, the heat sink 230D, and the heating device 100D are sequentially provided from top to bottom. The number of the first connection probe sets 21D may be one or more, and the number of the power supply ports 12D may be one or more.

[0101] As shown in FIG. 30, in this embodiment, the resistance wires 11D are uniformly arranged in the film heater layer 10D. By using the first connection probe set 21D, the film heater layer 10D is respectively brought into contact with the power supply port 12D and the lifting mechanism 220D to conduct electricity. Thereby, the resistance wires 11D realize heating by electrical connection, thereby realizing uniform heating of the wafer 300D on the heat sink 230D of the film heater layer 10D, avoiding the wafer 300D from being damaged due to non-uniform heating, and improving the yield rate of the wafer 300D. Here, the film heater layer 10D is connected to the lifting mechanism 220D by the first connection probe set 21D to realize heating by conduction. The heat transfer path is in the order of the film heater layer 10D, the heat sink 230D, and the wafer 300D. The wafer 300D can be prevented from being damaged by directly contacting the heating device 100D, thereby reducing the defective rate of the wafer 300D.

[0102] In this embodiment, the film heater layer 10D of the heating device 100D has a resistance wire 11D uniformly arranged therein and at least one power supply port 12D connected to the resistance wire 11D. The first connection probe set 21D is directly connected to the resistance wire 11D by the power supply port 12D, thereby realizing uniform heating of the film heater layer 10D, avoiding providing a plurality of probe assemblies corresponding to a plurality of heating sheets, and simplifying the structure of the heating device 100D.

[0103] In this embodiment, the film heater layer 10D is a mica heating sheet or a ceramic heating sheet. Specifically, the resistance wire 11D is uniformly distributed inside the mica heating sheet or the ceramic heating sheet. Thereby, the lifting mechanism 220D is connected to the resistance wire 11D by the first connection probe set 21D, thereby making the mica heating sheet or the ceramic heating sheet conductive and heating it, and further realizing uniform heating of the wafer 300D located above the heat sink of the heating device 100D. Here, the size of the mica heating sheet or the ceramic heating sheet is consistent with the size of the heat sink 230D, whereby the heating device 100D can uniformly heat the heat sink 230D, and thereby the heating of the wafer 300D becomes uniform.

[0104] In a preferred embodiment, the film heater layer 10D is a mica heating sheet, and the manufacturing cost of the mica heating sheet is low, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the heating device 100D.

[0105] In this embodiment, the heating device 100D further includes a first heat insulation component 30D. The first heat insulation component 30D is located below the heat sink 230D, and the film heater layer 10D and the first heat insulation component 30D are provided integrally. Specifically, the first heat insulation component 30D and the film heater layer 10D are integrated and located at the bottom of the film heater layer 10D, avoiding direct contact between the film heater layer 10D and the lower sealing assembly 210D when the film heater layer 10D is heated to a high temperature, thereby avoiding damage to the wafer level aging inspection device 200D.

[0106] In this embodiment, the film heater layer 10D is located on the side closer to the heat sink 230D of the first heat insulation component 30D. A first through hole 31D is formed in the first heat insulation component 30D at a position corresponding to the power supply port 12D. As a result, all of the first connection probe sets 21D pass through the first through hole 31D and contact the power supply port 12D. Specifically, the film heater layer 10D and the first heat insulation component 30D are integrated. The first connection probe sets 21D are connected in contact with the power supply port 12D of the film heater layer 10D through the first through hole 31D of the first heat insulation component 30D. Thereby, the lifting mechanism 220D is brought into contact with and electrically conducted to the resistance wire 11D inside the film heater layer 10D, thereby electrically conducting and heating the film heater layer 10D, and thereby realizing uniform heating of the wafer 300D by the film heater layer 10D. Here, the number of the first through holes 31D is two, and the number of the first connection probe sets 21D is two. Each first through hole 31D corresponds to one first connection probe set 21D, and the two first through holes 31D are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center line of the first heat insulation component 30D.

[0107] In this embodiment, a second heat insulation component 40D is further included. The second heat insulation component 40D is located on the side away from the heat sink 230D of the first heat insulation component 30D.

One end of each first connection probe set 21D passes through the first through hole 31D and is connected in contact with the power supply port 12D of the film heater layer 10D, and the other end passes through the second through hole 41D and is connected in contact with the power supply port 12D of the film heater layer 10D. Thereby, the heating device 100D is connected to the lifting mechanism 220D by the first connection probe sets 21D, thereby electrically conducting and heating the film heater layer 10D, and thereby realizing heating of the wafer 300D.

[0108] In this embodiment, the heating device 100D is located between the film heater layer 10D and the heat sink 230D, and further includes a ceramic plate 50D for transferring the heat generated in the film heater layer 10D to the heat sink 230D. Specifically, the ceramic plate 50D is provided between the film heater layer 10D and the heat sink 230D, and the size of the ceramic plate 50D is consistent with the sizes of the film heater layer 10D and the heat sink 230D. Thereby, the ceramic plate 50D can uniformly transfer the heat of the film heater layer 10D to the heat sink 230D, and then to the wafer 300D. The film heater layer 10D is prevented from directly contacting the heat sink 230D and causing overheating of the heat sink 230D, thereby preventing the wafer 300D from being damaged due to overheating.

[0109] As shown in FIG. 32, in this embodiment, the heating device 100D further includes at least one first temperature sensor 60D and at least one second connection probe set 22D. The first temperature sensor 60D is provided on the film heater layer 10D and is used to measure the temperature of the film heater layer 10D. Each of the second connection probe sets 22D corresponds to one first temperature sensor 60D and passes through the lower sealing assembly 210D. One end of the second connection probe set 22D contacts the first temperature sensor 60D, and the other end contacts the lifting mechanism 220D. Specifically, the second connection probe set 22D is used to connect the first temperature sensor 60D located on the film heater layer 10D and the lifting mechanism 220D. Thereby, the first temperature sensor 60D can measure the temperature of the film heater layer 10D in real time, preventing the film heater layer 10D from causing irreversible damage to the heat sink 230D and the wafer 300D when the temperature is too high, and also preventing the lifting mechanism 220D located below the lower sealing assembly 210D from being damaged due to overheating. Here, the number of the first temperature sensors 60D is two, and the number of the second connection probe sets 22D is two. Each first temperature sensor 60D corresponds to one second connection probe set 22D, and the two second connection probe sets 22D are respectively the main temperature control inspection probe set and the overheat protection probe set of the film heater layer 10D.

[0110] In this embodiment, the heating device 100D further includes a second temperature sensor 70D and a third connection probe set 23D. The second temperature sensor 70D is provided on the heat sink 230D and is used to measure the temperature of the heat sink 230D.

One end of the third connection probe set 23D contacts the second temperature sensor 70D, and the other end contacts the lifting mechanism 220D. Thereby, the second temperature sensor 70D measures the temperature of the heat sink 230D while being energized, avoiding damaging the wafer 300D due to the overly high temperature of the heat sink 230D, and thereby improving the yield rate of the wafer 300D.

[0111] In this embodiment, the heating device 100D further includes a fourth connection probe set 24D that directly contacts the heat sink 230D.

One end of the fourth connection probe set 24D contacts the heat sink 230D, and the other end contacts the lifting mechanism 220D. Thereby, the lifting mechanism 220D supplies power to the heat sink 230D, and thereby performs a power supply inspection on the wafer 300D.

[0117] In this embodiment, a fourth pad position 224D is provided at the uppermost part of the lifting mechanism 220D.

Thereby, the lifting mechanism 220D supplies power to the heat sink 230D, thereby performing a power supply inspection on the wafer 300D.

[0118] In this embodiment, the number of the first pad positions 221D is consistent with the number of the first connection probe sets 21D and corresponds one-to-one. Specifically, each first pad position 221D corresponds to one first connection probe set 21D. Thereby, each power supply port 12D of the film heater layer 10D is arranged corresponding to one first connection probe set 21D. Thereby, the two power supply ports 12D of the film heater layer 10D can conduct electricity and heat simultaneously, and the heating efficiency of the film heater layer 10D is improved.
