Wafer multi-test object parallel test macro
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of test macro of SIC (semiconductor integrated circuit), particularly relate to a kind of wafer multi-test object parallel test macro.
Background technology
In the test of SIC (semiconductor integrated circuit), for improving testing efficiency, in wafer ATE test, adopt the method for many tested objects concurrent testing usually, promptly on probe, dispose the pairing probe of a plurality of tested objects, in test, realize the concurrent testing of many tested objects of ATE (ATE (automatic test equipment)) by the control of test procedure.
In the middle of test process, many tested objects concurrent testing brings earthy fluctuating disturbance of wafer easily, for the wafer device of some signal sensitivities, and test result instability or distortion when such disturbance will cause concurrent testing.
In the prior art, reduce the problem that many tested objects concurrent testing is crosstalked from improving probe to the signal shielding on this path of ATE test channel usually, but this and the unresolved signal interference problem that occurs on the wafer.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention provides a kind of wafer multi-test object parallel test macro, when using ATE that wafer is carried out many tested objects concurrent testing, overcomes the tested object signal phase mutual interference on wafer.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, wafer multi-test object parallel test macro of the present invention comprises the probe groups of a plurality of tested objects that concurrent testing is required, tested object closes on the additional probe of chip correspondence, described additional probe is corresponding with earth terminal (GND) or other terminals of the chip that the concurrent testing object closes on, and is in contact with it when test.
Adopt test macro of the present invention, the test probe group of a plurality of tested objects that on probe, need except the configuration concurrent testing, the probe of the chip correspondence that the additional configurations tested object closes on.Be set to ground level in when test by the current potential that the test procedure programming adds probe, simultaneously the concurrent testing object applied test signal and implement concurrent testing, the earth potential of concurrent testing object is disturbed reduce and obtain good stable testing.
Description of drawings
The present invention is further detailed explanation below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and embodiment:
Accompanying drawing is the application synoptic diagram of wafer multi-test object parallel test macro of the present invention.
Embodiment
The present invention connects by the ground connection that strengthens tested object near zone on the wafer, thereby earth potential rises and falls and the stable testing problem of the concurrent testing object that causes when reducing concurrent testing.
As shown in the figure, the probe groups of a plurality of tested objects that need except the configuration concurrent testing on the probe, the additional configurations tested object closes on the additional probe of chip correspondence, and additional probe configuration number is determined by the complexity of being disturbed.
The additional pairing chip pin terminal types of probe at first, is considered the GND terminal (hold) of chip, does not have enough GND ends as fruit chip, also can be corresponding with common signal end.On probe, additional probe can be directly connected to the earth terminal of tester, also can be connected to the test channel of tester.If be connected to test channel, it is set to ground level then need to control ATE by test procedure in test.
During test, the probe of corresponding tested object and additional probe contact with the pad of wafer simultaneously.In test process, no matter be which kind of above-mentioned mode, all need the current potential of additional probe to be set to ground level, and with this understanding tested object is applied test signal enforcement concurrent testing.Because additional probe makes near the wafer area the tested object all be set to level doughtily.Therefore, the earth potential fluctuating of concurrent testing object is obviously reduced, thereby obtain good stable testing.
In actual applications, certain radio frequency products is carried out parallel test system exploitation, found that when concurrent testing object number more than or equal to 2 the time, the stable testing variation can't be finished the steady testing of wafer, can only carry out single tested object and test.Adopt technical scheme of the present invention, the concurrent testing number of objects brings up to 4 with surveying, and additional 4 groups are used to stablize earthy probe groups simultaneously, have realized stable concurrent testing, and testing efficiency rises to 4 times that do not adopt when of the present invention.
The present invention can solve the cross-interference issue that rises and falls and cause owing to earth potential in the concurrent testing process effectively, obtains good stable testing, improves the concurrent testing number of objects greatly, thereby improves testing efficiency, reduces testing cost.
