Specific embodiment
Inventor, through creative work, obtains a kind of probe card detection method.
In the present embodiment, the step of this new probe card detection method is:
First, provide wafer, multiple conduction regions are distributed on wafer, the quantity of conduction region is more than or equal to the spy in probe card
Pin quantity, any two conduction region is electrically connected and any one conduction region is only electrically connected with one of conduction region.
Then, all probes in probe card are aligned with the conduction region on wafer.
Afterwards, applied voltage between two probes of the two conduction region contrapositions electrically connecting, due to two conduction regions
Short circuit, tests the electric current between this two probes, and voltage with the ratio of electric current is:With the two conduction region contrapositions electrically connecting two
Contact resistance between individual probe.When this two probes are qualified, the contact resistance recording is less, sets this less contact resistance
Scope be expected resistance range.When actually measured contact resistance is beyond expected resistance range, then judge to should contact
Two probes of resistance are unqualified, are problem probe, follow-up need this problem probe is checked further, repair or more
Change.Therefore, using the probe card detection method of the present invention, can within a short period of time, easily determine probe mass.
Understandable for enabling the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention to become apparent from, below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to the present invention
Specific embodiment be described in detail.
With reference to Fig. 1, a wafer 100 is provided, multiple conduction regions 101 are distributed with wafer 100.Because the present embodiment will be examined
The probe card surveyed is used for subsequent wafer and tests, and therefore, described conduction region 101 can be qualified chip on wafer to be measured, be located at
Weld pad on chip or other conduction regions specially being made according to the qualified chip on wafer to be measured.These other
The size of conduction region, electric property etc. are all essentially identical with the chip on wafer to be measured, its object is to reduce the present embodiment
Error between test result and the test data of qualified chip.
With reference to Fig. 2, all two adjacent conduction regions 101 are electrically connected by wire 102, and any one conduction region is only
Electrically connect with a conduction region.In the present embodiment, all two adjacent conduction regions 101 are electrically connected by wire 102, this
Plant operation more convenient, and there is suitable succession, positioning probe can be easier.Secondly, any one conduction region
Electrically connect with a conduction region, be for avoiding the occurrence of the test number between two probes of the two conduction region contrapositions electrically connecting
According to for the data after serial or parallel connection between multiple conduction regions.If that is, any one conduction region and multiple conduction regions
Electrical connection, it may appear that conduction region situation in parallel or series, in such a case, causes the test between two probes recording
Data is inaccurate.
With reference to Fig. 3, after electrical connection, will be right with the conduction region 101 on wafer 100 for all probes 201 in probe card 200
Position, it should be noted that Fig. 3 does not show probe 201 and the conduction region 101 of all quantity, illustrate only four probes
With four conduction regions, here is only served description probe and is acted on the example of conduction region contraposition, is not intended to limit the protection model of the present invention
Enclose.
In general, contraposition refers to be aligned the probe in probe card one-to-one with the chip on wafer, contact
Operation is it is ensured that subsequent electrical signal is delivered to chip by probe.Specific in the present embodiment, first, for ensureing in probe card 200
Each probe 201 all have a conduction region 101 to align therewith, conduction region 101 quantity of the present embodiment is more than or equal to probe 201
Quantity.Secondly, the alignment operation of execution standard, and ignore the human factor and environmental factor shadow to probe card detecting step
Ring, the accuracy of guarantee test result.And, during contraposition, must have micro- between probe 201 and conduction region 101
The conflict of amount(Overdrive, referred to operation)So that probe pierces through(Or wiping stroke)Conduction region surface to be detected, to reach test
The purpose of conduction region electric property.
In a particular embodiment, after execution alignment operation, two spies that test is aligned with two conduction regions electrically connecting
Contact resistance between pin.Specifically, the contact resistance between test and two probes of the two conduction region contrapositions electrically connecting
Step be:Electric signal, this electric signal " distribution " to all probes are applied on probe card 200, is leading with two electrically connecting
Applied voltage V between two probes of electric area contraposition1;Then, record the electric current I between this two probes1, and then it is somebody's turn to do
Contact resistance R between two probes1=V1/I1.Contact in the case that probe is qualified, between two conduction regions of electrical connection
Resistance very little, the scope of this less contact resistance is substantially less than or equal to 10 Ω, sets this less contact resistance scope as in advance
Phase resistance range RY.If recording contact resistance R in a particular embodiment1Significantly increase and surpass the expectation resistance range RY, then tentatively
Judge to should contact resistance R1Probe unqualified.The problem that this unqualified probe is likely to occur is:
First, probe is too short or hardness is not so that probe cannot provide enough acupuncture treatment dynamics, probe tip and conduction
Area can not form effectively micro- conflict, and the pick-up current in turn resulting between two probes is less, the contact resistance finally recording
R1Increase;
Second, the syringe needle of probe relatively thick so that contact resistance R1Larger;
3rd, the position of probe can not be completely relative with the position realization of corresponding conduction region, and such as probe bending, is non-
Perpendicular to crystal column surface, cause the needle point of probe to deflect away from predetermined acupuncture treatment position, or even deflect away from conduction region, so can not with right
The conduction region answered forms and is accurately aimed at, contacts;
4th, the parameter such as the quality problem of probe itself, such as material, density goes wrong.
Compared with prior art, the probe card detection method of the present invention is simple to operate, be easily achieved, ultrahigh in efficiency.Use
The probe card detection method of the present invention, can navigate to the probe going wrong, the probe that subsequently can go wrong for this
Checked further, made the operation such as replacement, repairing for the probe that this goes wrong it is ensured that in formal wafer testing procedure
Test result accurate.
And, in test process, each probe and a corresponding conduction region electrically connect, can be to all of probe
Applied voltage is that is to say, that can be applied between all two probes with electrically connect two conduction region contrapositions simultaneously simultaneously
Making alive, then can obtain the corresponding contact resistance of each probe simultaneously.So detection can be completed in a relatively short time,
Improve detection efficiency.
In a particular embodiment, test above twice can also be carried out to all probes, and then each probe corresponding can
To obtain multiple contact resistance value;Then, the plurality of contact resistance value can be set up a statistical table, and respectively with expection
Resistance range RYIt is compared, judge whether probe is qualified finally according to corresponding statistics.So, each probe is carried out
Repeatedly test is it can be ensured that the test result of probe is accurate.
Implement such scheme, by the contact electricity between test and two probes of two conduction region contrapositions of electrical connection
Resistance, this contact resistance is compared with expected resistance range, and then whether preliminary judgement probe is qualified.In conjunction, also
The detection electric current between two probes of the two conduction region contrapositions not electrically connected can be tested, judge whether probe can be real
Now form one-to-one alignment with conduction region.
Specifically, with reference to Fig. 2, when two adjacent conduction regions are electrically connected, can also be in adjacent two not electrically connected
The both sides of individual conduction region 101, and two parallel wires 103 are set at this two conduction regions not electrically connected.
Then, with reference to Fig. 3, after the conduction region 101 on the probe 201 and wafer 100 in probe card 200 is aligned, survey
Obtain the detection electric current I between two probes of two conduction regions contrapositions and two parallel wires 103 betweenc.It is being embodied as
In example, applied voltage V between this two probes2, record the detection electric current I flowing through between two probesc.
In a particular embodiment, be considered as between two conduction regions not electrically connected disconnect, probe card qualified and with conduction
Area is formed when being accurately aimed at, contacting, and is considered as open circuit, then records between two probes of the two conduction region contrapositions not electrically connected
Detection electric current less, about in μ A to pA rank, set this less detection current range as predetermined current range IY.If recording
One detection electric current IcSignificantly increase and exceed predetermined current range IY, then two conduction regions that correspondence does not electrically connect are judged
Two probes are deflected away from conduction region 101 scope and are contacted with the wire 103 of both sides, cause short circuit between this two probes.According to this
Judge, draw to electric current I should be detectedcTwo probe locations can not with the position of two conduction regions realize completely relative to knot
By such as probe bending, deformation.Using the scheme of the present embodiment, can accurately judge whether probe can be formed with conduction region
One-to-one be aligned, reaches the accurate purpose judging probe problem.
In a particular embodiment, the scheme of testing contact resistance and test detection electric current is combined, if record corresponding to certain
The contact resistance R of probe1Beyond predetermined resistance scope RY, and detect electric current IcBeyond predetermined current range IY, this spy can be positioned
Pin produced problem is not enable to form one-to-one alignment with conduction region.In other embodiments, if the chip chi on wafer
Very little less, when probe is aligned with chip, compared to the chip of large-size, probe is easier to deflect away from this reduced size chip
Scope, therefore using the scheme of test detection electric current, can preferably detection probe whether can with conduction region formed one-to-one
Be aligned.
Finally, it should be noted that the present embodiment is to electrically connect two adjacent conduction regions, in other embodiments,
Non-conterminous any two conduction region can also be electrically connected.When implementing this scheme, need to set two electrically connecting not
Expected resistance range between adjacent conductive area, it is contemplated that the difference between the conduction region of each group electrical connection, therefore,
Using this technical scheme, even if being capable of testing goal, it is also to waste time and energy and operability is not high.Furthermore, it is contemplated that connecting
The conductor length of non-conterminous conduction region be more than connect adjacent conductive area conductor length, testing cost can be increased, and two not
Expected resistance range between adjacent conductive area can significantly increase, and in this case, test obtains the fluctuation range of data
, false retrieval, the probability of missing inspection increases, and finally makes testing result inaccurate in meeting very little.To sum up, the scheme of the present embodiment can be grasped
The property made is high and testing result is accurate.
In addition, in the present invention, the quantity of conduction region might be less that the quantity of probe, in this case, needs to carry out
Repeatedly measure, just can complete the detection to all probes.
Additionally, this invention is not limited to each specific embodiment described above, as long as meet at least two conduction regions being electrically connected
Connect and any one conduction region is only electrically connected with a conduction region, all can realize the purpose of the present invention.It is, if only two
It is necessary to repeatedly be tested during individual conduction region electrical connection, the detection to all probes just can be completed.
Although present disclosure is as above, the present invention is not limited to this.Any those skilled in the art, without departing from this
In the spirit and scope of invention, all can make various changes or modifications, therefore protection scope of the present invention should be with claim institute
The scope limiting is defined.
