Description

探针高度调整方法与探针位置监测方法Probe height adjustment method and probe position monitoring method

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种探针高度调整方法与一种探针位置监测方法。The invention relates to a probe height adjustment method and a probe position monitoring method.

背景技术Background technique

传统的寻边器(edge sensor)必须采用人工调整弹性元件(例如弹簧)的松紧程度,进而调整探针的针压。当承载晶圆的承载台往上升向寻边器的探针靠近而接触时,探针会受到晶圆的顶撑而上移。若探针没有足够的针压,则会与晶圆的接点产生接触不良的情形,使晶圆的测量数据会不准确。另外,若探针的针压过大,则容易使探针受损或是造成晶圆表面损坏。The traditional edge sensor (edge sensor) must manually adjust the tightness of the elastic element (such as a spring), and then adjust the needle pressure of the probe. When the stage carrying the wafer rises up to touch the probe of the edge finder, the probe will be supported by the wafer and move upward. If the probe does not have enough needle pressure, the contact with the wafer will be poorly contacted, and the measurement data of the wafer will be inaccurate. In addition, if the needle pressure of the probe is too large, it is easy to damage the probe or cause damage to the wafer surface.

传统的寻边器当其探针与晶圆抵接时,需花费一段时间(例如20ms)确认探针是否已与晶圆确实接触,因此不易缩短检测时间。此外,当现有寻边器上的部分探针不在同一水平面上时,会造成部分探针已与晶圆接触,但另一部分的探针仍悬空在晶圆上方。使用者无法由现有寻边器得知探针的垂直高度该如何调整。It takes a period of time (for example, 20 ms) to confirm whether the probes are actually in contact with the wafer when the probes of the traditional edge finder touch the wafer, so it is difficult to shorten the detection time. In addition, when some of the probes on the existing edge finder are not on the same level, some of the probes are in contact with the wafer, but the other part of the probes are still suspended above the wafer. The user cannot know how to adjust the vertical height of the probe from the existing edge finder.

当现有寻边器的探针均在相同的垂直高度时,使用者无法在寻边器测量时得知单一晶圆的接点(pad)高低或多个晶圆间的厚度差异,对于来料晶圆的异常情形也难以发现。When the probes of the existing edge finder are all at the same vertical height, the user cannot know the height of the pad of a single wafer or the thickness difference between multiple wafers during the measurement of the edge finder. For incoming materials Wafer anomalies are also difficult to spot.

When the lifting platform 110 rises to the spot measurement position in the direction D, the probe devices 120, 120' may not all touch the object under test 210, even if they have touched the object under test 210, the object under test 210 will have a relatively large impact on the probe devices 120, 120. 'The pressures applied are not necessarily the same, so a follow-up adjustment of the needle height is required to ensure that the probes 124, 124' are in contact with the object under test 210 at the same or approximately vertical position (needle height) to avoid the probe 124 , 124 ′ damage the object under test 210 and reduce wear of the probes 124 , 124 ′.

接着在步骤S12中,调整两个探针装置120、120’的两个探针124、124’,使两个探针124、124’接触待测物210,并利用两个形变感应回路130使两个探针装置120、120’的两个力臂122、122’上的两个感应元件126、126’根据两个力臂122、122’的变形量分别产生第一观测值变化与第二观测值变化,以分别提供两个探针124、124’目标值。也就是说,当升降载台110至点测位置后,可再分别调整探针装置120、120’的探针124、124’的垂直位置。进一步说明如下,探针装置120、120’的力臂122、122’会因探针124、124’被待测物210抵压而受力而变形,感应元件126、126’会根据力臂122、122’的变形量分别产生第一观测值变化与第二观测值变化。针压设定装置176(见图2)可通过形变感应回路130接收第一观测值变化与第二观测值变化,以及通过第一观测值变化与第二观测值变化,借此确认及调整是否已提供探针124、124’相同或近似的目标值,例如目标值为针压克重(probe force),而近似的目标值是指针压克重在正负1克之间。Then in step S12, the two probes 124, 124' of the two probe devices 120, 120' are adjusted so that the two probes 124, 124' contact the object 210 to be tested, and the two deformation sensing loops 130 are used to make The two sensing elements 126, 126' on the two force arms 122, 122' of the two probe devices 120, 120' respectively produce the first observation value change and the second The observed values vary to provide target values for the two probes 124, 124', respectively. That is to say, after lifting and lowering the carrier platform 110 to the surveying position, the vertical positions of the probes 124, 124' of the probe devices 120, 120' can be adjusted respectively. Further description is as follows, the force arms 122, 122' of the probe devices 120, 120' will be deformed due to the pressure of the probes 124, 124' being pressed by the object 210 to be tested, and the sensing elements 126, 126' will be deformed according to the force arms 122 The deformation amounts of , 122' produce the first observed value change and the second observed value change respectively. The acupressure setting device 176 (see FIG. 2 ) can receive the change of the first observed value and the change of the second observed value through the deformation sensing circuit 130, and through the change of the first observed value and the change of the second observed value, thereby confirming and adjusting whether The same or similar target values have been provided for the probes 124 , 124 ′, for example, the target value is the probe force, and the approximate target value is the probe force within plus or minus 1 gram.

之后在步骤S13中,使两个探针124、124’接触待测物210时具有近似的目标值。也就是说,例如使用者已在步骤S12时,预先设定欲分别提供两个探针124、124’约5克的克重/针高目标值,此时,使用者即可一边观看针压设定装置176显示的第一观测值变化与第二观测值变化,一边调整探针124、124’针高,使探针124、124’接触待测物210时具有近似的目标值,即是约5克的克重/针高,而使探针124、124’的针尖大致位于同一水平面,进而在步骤S13时,即可使探针124、124’接触待测物210时具有近似的目标值。此外,由于本发明的探针装置120、120’具镂空区123、123’的力臂122、122’可产生较大的变形量,故可提升力臂122、122’受力时的变形灵敏度,使感应元件126、126’分别产生灵敏的第一观测值变化与第二观测值变化,借此提升探针124、124’高度调整时的准确度。Then in step S13, when the two probes 124, 124' are brought into contact with the object under test 210, they have approximate target values. That is to say, for example, in step S12, the user has preset a target weight/needle height target value of about 5 grams for the two probes 124, 124' to be provided respectively. At this time, the user can watch the needle pressure The change of the first observed value and the second observed value displayed by the setting device 176 are adjusted while adjusting the needle height of the probes 124, 124' so that the probes 124, 124' have an approximate target value when they touch the object under test 210, that is, The grammage/needle height of about 5 grams, so that the needle tips of the probes 124, 124' are roughly located on the same horizontal plane, and then in step S13, the probes 124, 124' can have similar targets when they contact the object to be tested 210 value. In addition, since the force arms 122, 122' of the probe devices 120, 120' of the present invention with the hollow areas 123, 123' can produce a large amount of deformation, the deformation sensitivity of the force arms 122, 122' can be improved when the force is applied. , so that the sensing elements 126, 126' generate sensitive changes in the first observed value and the second observed value, thereby improving the accuracy of the height adjustment of the probes 124, 124'.

同时参阅图2与图4,待探针装置120、120’的针高调整完后(即是步骤S13后),便可利用接触感应回路140确认探针装置120、120’是否分别与待测物210的接点212、214电性接触。本发明的探针点测系统100通过接触感应回路140确认探针装置120、120’是否分别已与待测物210的接点212、214电性接触,故可缩短检测待测物210的时间。当待测物210确实与探针124、124’接触而电性连接时,因探针连接线路145导通并与升压元件R1并联,控制器172所测量的针压感应单元144的跨电压将明显下降。在判断前述跨电压下降至临界值时,控制器172可立即停止升降载台110上升。由于控制器172亦与针压设定装置176电性连接,因此可确保探针124、124’能以预定的针压确实与待测物210抵接。Referring to Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 at the same time, after the needle heights of the probe devices 120, 120' are adjusted (i.e. after step S13), the contact sensing circuit 140 can be used to confirm whether the probe devices 120, 120' are respectively in line with the ones to be tested. The contacts 212, 214 of the object 210 are in electrical contact. The probe point testing system 100 of the present invention confirms whether the probe devices 120, 120' are in electrical contact with the contacts 212, 214 of the object under test 210 through the contact induction circuit 140, so the time for detecting the object under test 210 can be shortened. When the object under test 210 is indeed in contact with the probes 124, 124' and is electrically connected, because the probe connection line 145 is turned on and connected in parallel with the boost element R1, the voltage across the needle pressure sensing unit 144 measured by the controller 172 will drop significantly. When it is judged that the aforementioned trans-voltage drops to a critical value, the controller 172 may immediately stop the lifting platform 110 from rising. Since the controller 172 is also electrically connected to the acupressure setting device 176, it can ensure that the probes 124, 124' can abut against the object 210 under test with a predetermined acupressure.

此外,需再说明的是,倘若判断跨电压的数值尚未到达所设定的临界值时,则会进一步判断升降载台110是否到达所设定的极限值(也就是升降载台110最高位置的设定值),借此避免升降载台110持续上升,使得待测物210的针压有超负载的可能,亦可以避免伤害待测物210及探针124、124’。也就是说,若升降载台110尚未到达极限值,则升降载台110仍会持续上升,将会使得探针124、124’施予接点212、214的针压持续增加。若升降载台110已经到达极限值,虽然测量的跨电压尚未到达所设定的临界值,则会立即停止升降载台110的动作,以避免伤害探针124、124’与待测物210。其中,升降载台110上升到极限值的原因,有可能是待测物210中的晶片是损坏不良的,例如NG的LED,故跨电压的数值一直未能到达所设定的临界值。此外,亦可利用本发明的针压设定装置176,借此可以判断针压是否超过所设定的目标值,若针压超过所设定的目标值,针压设定装置176亦可通过控制器172停止升降载台110上升。In addition, it should be further explained that if it is judged that the value of the transvoltage has not yet reached the set critical value, it will be further judged whether the lifting platform 110 has reached the set limit value (that is, the maximum position of the lifting platform 110). setting value), so as to prevent the lifting platform 110 from continuing to rise, so that the needle pressure of the object under test 210 may be overloaded, and damage to the object under test 210 and the probes 124 and 124 ′ can also be avoided. That is to say, if the lifting platform 110 has not reached the limit value, the lifting platform 110 will continue to rise, which will make the needle pressure exerted by the probes 124, 124' on the contacts 212, 214 continue to increase. If the lifting platform 110 has reached the limit value, although the measured transvoltage has not yet reached the set critical value, the movement of the lifting platform 110 will be stopped immediately to avoid damage to the probes 124, 124' and the object under test 210. Wherein, the reason why the lifting stage 110 rises to the limit value may be that the chip in the object under test 210 is damaged badly, such as NG LED, so the value of the cross-voltage has not reached the set critical value. In addition, the acupressure setting device 176 of the present invention can also be used to determine whether the acupressure exceeds the set target value. If the acupressure exceeds the set target value, the acupressure setting device 176 can also pass The controller 172 stops the lifting platform 110 from rising.

在以下叙述中,将说明探针位置监测方法,要特别说明的是,本发明的探针位置监测方法只要至少一个探针装置即可进行监测。由于图5步骤S21与步骤S22的内容已于前述内容说明,因此不再重复赘述,也因此以下说明的探针位置监测方法是以有两个探针装置继续说明的,不以限制本发明。In the following description, the probe position monitoring method will be described. It should be noted that the probe position monitoring method of the present invention only needs at least one probe device for monitoring. Since the content of step S21 and step S22 in FIG. 5 has been described above, it will not be repeated. Therefore, the probe position monitoring method described below is continued with two probe devices, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

图5为根据本发明一实施方式的探针位置监测方法的流程图。首先在步骤S21中,上升升降载台,使升降载台上的待测物接触至少一个探针装置,且探针装置的力臂受力而变形。接着在步骤S22中,利用接触感应回路确认探针装置与待测物电性接触,使升降载台停止。之后在步骤S23中,利用测试回路输入电流至待测物,以检测待测物的电性与光性。在步骤S24中,在检测待测物的电性与光性的同时,利用至少一个形变感应回路电性连接力臂上的至少一个感应元件,根据力臂的变形量产生至少一个观测值变化。在步骤S25中,在检测待测物的电性与光性的同时,持续监测至少一个观测值变化。FIG. 5 is a flow chart of a probe position monitoring method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Firstly, in step S21 , the elevating stage is raised, so that the object to be tested on the elevating stage contacts at least one probe device, and the force arm of the probe device is deformed by force. Then in step S22 , the contact sensing circuit is used to confirm that the probe device is in electrical contact with the object to be tested, and the lifting platform is stopped. Then in step S23 , the test circuit is used to input current to the object under test, so as to detect the electrical and optical properties of the object under test. In step S24, at least one deformation sensing loop is used to electrically connect at least one sensing element on the force arm while detecting the electrical and optical properties of the object under test, and at least one observed value change is generated according to the deformation of the force arm. In step S25, while detecting the electrical property and the optical property of the object to be tested, the change of at least one observed value is continuously monitored.

在以下叙述中,将利用图2的探针点测系统100与图6说明上述步骤S23至步骤S25。In the following description, the above step S23 to step S25 will be described using the probe detection system 100 of FIG. 2 and FIG. 6 .

图6为图4的第一开关160与第二开关160’电性连接测试回路150后的示意图。同时参阅图5与图6,在步骤S23中,利用测试回路150输入电流至待测物210,以检测待测物210的电性与光性。当探针124、124’确实电性接触待测物210后,第一开关160与第二开关160’可由图4的状态切换成图6的状态,也就是第一开关160远离探针装置120的一端可由接点P1切换至接点P2,第二开关160’远离探针装置120’的一端可由接点P1’切换至接点P2’,使得控制器174(见图2)电性连接第一开关160、第二开关160’并与探针装置120、120’导通。如此一来,控制器174便可通过测试回路150对待测物210输入电流。FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram after the first switch 160 and the second switch 160' of FIG. 4 are electrically connected to the test circuit 150. Referring to FIG. Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 at the same time, in step S23 , the test loop 150 is used to input current to the object under test 210 to detect the electrical and optical properties of the object under test 210 . When the probes 124, 124' do electrically contact the object under test 210, the first switch 160 and the second switch 160' can be switched from the state of FIG. 4 to the state of FIG. 6, that is, the first switch 160 is far away from the probe device 120 One end of the second switch 160' can be switched from the contact point P1 to the contact point P2, and the end of the second switch 160' away from the probe device 120' can be switched from the contact point P1' to the contact point P2', so that the controller 174 (see FIG. 2) is electrically connected to the first switch 160, The second switch 160' is also connected to the probe devices 120, 120'. In this way, the controller 174 can input current to the object under test 210 through the test loop 150 .

在步骤S24中,在检测待测物210的电性与光性的同时,利用两个形变感应回路130电性连接力臂122、122’上的感应元件126、126’,根据力臂122、122’的变形量产生两个观测值变化。当检测待测物210的同时,由于形变感应回路130与感应元件126、126’电性连接,探针124、124’抵压于待测物210,使力臂122、122’产生变形量。因此,力臂122、122’上的感应元件126、126’便可根据力臂122、122’的变形量分别产生第一观测值变化与第二观测值变化。In step S24, while detecting the electrical and optical properties of the object under test 210, two deformation sensing circuits 130 are used to electrically connect the sensing elements 126, 126' on the arm 122, 122', according to the arm 122, A deformation of 122' produces two observed changes. When detecting the object under test 210, since the deformation sensing circuit 130 is electrically connected with the sensing elements 126, 126', the probes 124, 124' are pressed against the object under test 210, causing the force arms 122, 122' to deform. Therefore, the sensing elements 126, 126' on the force arms 122, 122' can generate the first observed value change and the second observed value change respectively according to the deformation of the force arms 122, 122'.

在步骤S25中,在检测待测物的电性与光性的同时,持续监测两个观测值变化。由于形变感应回路130与感应元件126、126’电性连接,故当检测待测物210的同时,利用力臂122、122’上的感应元件126、126’分别产生的观测值变化亦可由针压设定装置176(见图2)通过形变感应回路130持续监测。如此一来,不仅可监测待测物210的状态是否正常,还可监测机台的稳定度,例如可监测待测物210的焊垫接点212、214的厚度,及监测升降载台110(见图2)的点测位置是否偏移。In step S25, while detecting the electrical and optical properties of the object to be tested, the changes of the two observed values are continuously monitored. Since the deformation sensing loop 130 is electrically connected to the sensing elements 126, 126', when detecting the object 210 to be measured, the observed value changes generated by the sensing elements 126, 126' on the force arms 122, 122' respectively can also be detected by the needle. Pressure setting device 176 (see FIG. 2 ) is continuously monitored by deformation sensing loop 130. In this way, not only can the state of the object under test 210 be monitored, but also the stability of the machine can be monitored. Figure 2) Whether the survey position is offset.

同时参阅图2与图6,在本实施方式中,探针点测系统100进一步还可以包含警示元件178。针压设定装置176具有观测值变化的目标值。警示元件178电性连接针压设定装置176,当感应元件126、126’各自产生的第一观测值变化与第二观测值变化超出目标值时,警示元件178可发出警示信号。例如探针124、124’位置偏移时、待测物210的焊垫接点212、214的厚度差异太大时、升降载台110的点测位置偏移时…等。警示信号例如以7段显示器的数字表示数值高低,或以不同色度、亮度的灯号表示数值高低,又或者以不同音频表示数值高低,不以限制本发明。Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 6 at the same time, in this embodiment, the probe detection system 100 may further include a warning element 178 . The acupressure setting means 176 has a target value for changes in observed values. The warning element 178 is electrically connected to the acupressure setting device 176, and when the changes of the first observed value and the second observed value generated by the sensing elements 126, 126' respectively exceed the target values, the warning element 178 can send out a warning signal. For example, when the position of the probes 124, 124' deviates, when the difference in thickness of the bonding pads 212, 214 of the object under test 210 is too large, when the spot measurement position of the lifting platform 110 deviates, etc. The warning signal, for example, uses numbers on a 7-segment display to indicate the value, or lights with different chromaticity and brightness to indicate the value, or different audio tones to indicate the value, which is not intended to limit the present invention.

因此,使用者不仅能得知探针装置120、120’的垂直位置或升降载台110的垂直位置可能有所偏移,知晓机台的稳定度,还能得知所检测的待测物210是否为良品,例如不良的待测物210可能表面不平整,或者焊垫接点212、214的厚度差异过大。此外,当形变感应回路130持续监测第一观测值变化与第二观测值变化时,若第一观测值变化与第二观测值变化的差异大于针压设定装置176的目标值时,可执行对应的处理程序,例如停机检查与维修、重新调整针高、或更换另一待测物等处理,不以限制本发明。此外,由于本发明形变感应回路130持续监测第一观测值变化与第二观测值变化,进一步本发明亦可以将该些变化的观测值储存起来,进行产品分析等。Therefore, the user can not only know that the vertical position of the probe device 120, 120' or the vertical position of the lifting platform 110 may be offset, know the stability of the machine, but also know the detected object 210 Whether it is a good product, for example, the surface of the defective object under test 210 may be uneven, or the difference in thickness of the pad joints 212 and 214 is too large. In addition, when the deformation sensing circuit 130 continuously monitors the change of the first observed value and the change of the second observed value, if the difference between the change of the first observed value and the change of the second observed value is greater than the target value of the needle pressure setting device 176, it can execute The corresponding processing procedures, such as shutting down for inspection and maintenance, readjusting the needle height, or replacing another DUT, are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, since the deformation sensing circuit 130 of the present invention continuously monitors the changes of the first observed value and the second observed value, the present invention can further store these changed observed values for product analysis and the like.

图7为图4的待测物210的接点212、214的厚度不同时的示意图。图8为图7的两个探针装置120、120’的力与时间关系图。同时参阅图7与图8,接点212具有厚度T1,接点214具有厚度T2,且厚度T2大于厚度T1。倘若利用本发明的探针高度调整方法,可先调整探针装置120、120’的探针124、124’两者针高相同,位于同一水平面。但由于待测物210的接点212、214厚度不同,故当探针装置120、120’与待测物210接触后,探针装置120’所受的力会大于探针装置120所受的力,因此力臂122’的变形量会大于力臂122。形变感应回路130接收感应元件126的第一观测值变化可画出直线L1,形变感应回路130接收感应元件126’的第二观测值变化可画出直线L2。直线L1、L2可显示于图2的控制器172、针压设定装置176或其他显示设备,使用者便可得知此待测物210的接点212、214厚度不同。FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of different thicknesses of the joints 212 and 214 of the object under test 210 in FIG. 4 . FIG. 8 is a force versus time diagram for the two probe devices 120, 120' of FIG. 7 . Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 at the same time, the contact 212 has a thickness T1, and the contact 214 has a thickness T2, and the thickness T2 is greater than the thickness T1. If the probe height adjustment method of the present invention is used, the probes 124, 124' of the probe devices 120, 120' can be adjusted to have the same needle height and be located on the same horizontal plane. However, since the joints 212 and 214 of the object under test 210 have different thicknesses, when the probe devices 120 and 120 ′ are in contact with the object under test 210, the force on the probe device 120 ′ will be greater than the force on the probe device 120 , so the deformation of the moment arm 122 ′ is greater than that of the moment arm 122 . The deformation sensing loop 130 receives the change of the first observed value of the sensing element 126 to draw a straight line L1, and the deformation sensing loop 130 receives the change of the second observed value of the sensing element 126' to draw a straight line L2. The straight lines L1, L2 can be displayed on the controller 172, the acupressure setting device 176 or other display devices in FIG.

与现有技术相比,本发明的探针点测系统可以通过接触感应回路缩短检测待测物的时间。当待测物确实与探针接触而电性连接时,因探针连接线路导通并与升压元件并联,所测量的针压感应单元的跨电压将明显下降。在判断前述跨电压下降至临界值时,可立即停止升降载台上升,并利用本发明的探针高度调整方法,可以确保探针以预定的针压确实与待测物抵接。Compared with the prior art, the probe point measuring system of the present invention can shorten the time for detecting the object to be measured through the contact induction circuit. When the object under test is actually in contact with the probe and is electrically connected, the measured cross voltage of the needle pressure sensing unit will drop obviously because the connection line of the probe is conducted and connected in parallel with the boosting element. When it is judged that the transvoltage has dropped to a critical value, the lifting stage can be stopped immediately, and the probe height adjustment method of the present invention can be used to ensure that the probe is in contact with the object under test with a predetermined needle pressure.

此外,本发明的探针高度调整方法,当探针装置的探针接触待测物时,可利用感应元件根据力臂的变形量提供探针目标值(针压克重),作为调整探针高度的依据,能提升测量针压(probe force)的准确度,且灵敏度高,可避免探针装置上的探针损坏待测物,减少探针磨耗。再者,本发明的探针位置监测方法,当接触感应回路确认探针装置与待测物电性接触后,测试回路可输入电流至待测物以检测待测物的电性与光性。当检测待测物的同时,感应元件可根据力臂的变形量产生观测值变化,并由形变感应回路持续监测此观测值变化。如此一来,不仅可监测待测物的状态是否正常,还可监测机台的稳定度,例如可监测待测物的焊垫接点的厚度,及监测升降载台的点测位置是否偏移。In addition, in the probe height adjustment method of the present invention, when the probe of the probe device touches the object to be tested, the sensing element can be used to provide the probe target value (needle pressure grammage) according to the deformation of the force arm, as an adjustment probe The basis of the height can improve the accuracy of measuring the probe force, and the sensitivity is high, which can prevent the probe on the probe device from damaging the object to be measured and reduce the wear of the probe. Furthermore, in the probe position monitoring method of the present invention, after the contact sensing circuit confirms that the probe device is in electrical contact with the object under test, the test circuit can input current to the object under test to detect the electrical and optical properties of the object under test. While detecting the object to be tested, the sensing element can produce changes in observed values according to the deformation of the force arm, and the deformation sensing circuit continuously monitors the changes in observed values. In this way, not only can the state of the object under test be monitored, but also the stability of the machine can be monitored, for example, the thickness of the pad joint of the object under test can be monitored, and whether the spot measurement position of the lifting platform is shifted.

应了解到,在以上叙述中,已叙述过的元件连接关系与功能将不再重复赘述,合先叙明。It should be understood that in the above description, the connection relationship and functions of the components that have been described will not be repeated, and will be described first.

图9为根据本发明另一实施方式的探针点测系统100a的示意图。图10为图9的探针装置120与升降载台110的局部放大图。同时参阅图9与图10,探针点测系统100a包含升降载台110、探针装置120、形变感应回路130、接触感应回路140、测试回路150、第一开关160与第二开关160’。与图2实施方式不同的地方在于:探针点测系统100a仅具有一个探针装置120、一个形变感应回路130,以及升降载台110电性接触待测物210底面的接点214a,且当探针124接触待测物210时,升降载台110通过第二开关160’选择性地电性连接探针连接线路145或测试回路150。要再说明的是,探针点测统100a在仅具有一个探针装置120时,第一开关160直接与探针装置120电性连接,而第二开关160’则是通过探针连接线路145或测试回路150再与探针装置120进行电性连接。第一开关160可通过接点P1、P2选择性地电性连接探针连接线路145或测试回路150。第二开关160’可通过接点P1’、P2’选择性地电性连接探针连接线路145或测试回路150。探针装置120的探针124可用来接触待测物210相对升降载台110的表面。当升降载台110以方向D上升时,探针124可抵接待测物210顶面的接点212。FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of a probe detection system 100a according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10 is a partially enlarged view of the probe device 120 and the lifting platform 110 of FIG. 9 . 9 and 10 at the same time, the probe measuring system 100a includes a lifting platform 110, a probe device 120, a deformation sensing circuit 130, a contact sensing circuit 140, a testing circuit 150, a first switch 160 and a second switch 160'. The difference from the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is that the probe point measurement system 100a only has one probe device 120, one deformation sensing circuit 130, and the contact point 214a where the lifting platform 110 electrically contacts the bottom surface of the object 210 to be tested. When the needle 124 touches the object under test 210 , the lifting platform 110 is selectively electrically connected to the probe connection line 145 or the test circuit 150 through the second switch 160 ′. It should be further explained that when the probe point measurement system 100a has only one probe device 120, the first switch 160 is directly electrically connected to the probe device 120, while the second switch 160' is connected to the probe through the wire 145. Or the test loop 150 is electrically connected to the probe device 120 . The first switch 160 is selectively electrically connected to the probe connection line 145 or the test loop 150 through the contacts P1 and P2 . The second switch 160' can be selectively electrically connected to the probe connection line 145 or the test circuit 150 through the contacts P1', P2'. The probe 124 of the probe device 120 can be used to contact the surface of the object under test 210 opposite to the lifting platform 110 . When the lifting platform 110 rises in the direction D, the probe 124 can abut against the contact point 212 on the top surface of the object 210 to be tested.

图11为图10的升降载台110上升后的示意图。同时参阅图9与图11,当升降载台110以方向D上升时,升降载台110上的待测物210的接点212可接触探针124,使探针装置120的力臂122受力而变形。接着,可利用接触感应回路140确认探针装置120与待测物210的接点212电性接触。FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of the lifting platform 110 in FIG. 10 after it is raised. Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 11 at the same time, when the lifting platform 110 rises in the direction D, the contact point 212 of the object to be tested 210 on the lifting platform 110 can contact the probe 124, so that the force arm 122 of the probe device 120 is stressed and out of shape. Then, the contact sensing circuit 140 can be used to confirm the electrical contact between the probe device 120 and the contact point 212 of the object under test 210 .

控制器172可采集接触感应回路140的针压感应单元144的跨电压变化,并根据此跨电压变化确认探针装置120与待测物210电性接触。当跨电压变化达到临界值时,升降载台110停止上升,且探针装置120与待测物210的接点212电性接触。至于升降载台110其他的实施方式皆已如上述公开内容,在此容不赘述。The controller 172 can collect the change of the voltage across the needle pressure sensing unit 144 of the contact sensing circuit 140 , and confirm that the probe device 120 is in electrical contact with the object under test 210 according to the change of the across voltage. When the cross-voltage change reaches a critical value, the lifting platform 110 stops rising, and the probe device 120 is in electrical contact with the contact point 212 of the object under test 210 . As for other implementations of the lifting platform 110 , they are as disclosed above, and will not be repeated here.

图12为图11的第一开关160与第二开关160’电性连接测试回路150后的示意图。同时参阅图9与图12,当接触感应回路140确认探针装置120与待测物210电性接触后,第一开关160由接点P1切换至接点P2,第二开关160’由接点P1’切换至接点P2’。接着,测试回路150可由控制器174输入电流至待测物210,以检测待测物210的电性与光性,如图5探针位置监测方法的步骤S23所示。FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram after the first switch 160 and the second switch 160' of FIG. 11 are electrically connected to the test circuit 150. Referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 12 at the same time, when the contact sensing circuit 140 confirms that the probe device 120 is in electrical contact with the object under test 210, the first switch 160 is switched from the contact point P1 to the contact point P2, and the second switch 160' is switched from the contact point P1' to contact P2'. Next, the test loop 150 can input current to the object under test 210 from the controller 174 to detect the electrical and optical properties of the object under test 210 , as shown in step S23 of the probe position monitoring method in FIG. 5 .

当测试回路150输入电流至待测物210以检测待测物210的电性与光性的同时,利用形变感应回路130电性连接力臂122上的感应元件126,根据力臂122的变形量产生观测值变化,如图5探针位置监测方法的步骤S24所示。When the test circuit 150 inputs current to the object under test 210 to detect the electrical and optical properties of the object under test 210, the deformation sensing circuit 130 is used to electrically connect the sensing element 126 on the force arm 122, according to the amount of deformation of the force arm 122 A change in the observed value is generated, as shown in step S24 of the probe position monitoring method in FIG. 5 .

此外,在检测待测物210的电性与光性的同时,持续监测上述观测值变化。也就是说,当检测待测物210的同时,力臂122上感应元件126产生的观测值变化可由针压设定装置176通过形变感应回路130持续监测,如图5探针位置监测方法的步骤S25所示。如此一来,不仅可监测待测物210的状态是否正常,还可监测机台的稳定度,例如可监测待测物210的焊垫接点212、214的厚度,及监测升降载台110的点测位置是否偏移。当然地,亦如上述所公开的内容,进一步本发明亦可以将这些变化的观测值储存起来。In addition, while detecting the electrical properties and optical properties of the object under test 210 , the changes of the above-mentioned observed values are continuously monitored. That is to say, while detecting the object 210 to be tested, the change in the observed value generated by the sensing element 126 on the force arm 122 can be continuously monitored by the needle pressure setting device 176 through the deformation sensing circuit 130, as shown in the steps of the probe position monitoring method in Figure 5 Shown in S25. In this way, it is not only possible to monitor whether the state of the object under test 210 is normal, but also to monitor the stability of the machine. Whether the measuring position is shifted. Of course, as disclosed above, the present invention can further store these changed observed values.

图13为图11的探针装置120接触待测物210后的位置与时间关系图。同时参阅图11与图13,当待测物210接触探针装置120后,探针装置120会因冲击而呈不稳定状态,例如轻微的抖动,然后待接触感应回路140(见图9)确认探针装置120已与待测物210电性接触后,升降载台110停止上升,使得探针装置120的位置不再变化,因此可得到曲线L3。曲线L3可显示于图9的控制器172、针压设定装置176或其他显示设备,供使用者判断机台的稳定性与待测物210状态是否正常。FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the relationship between position and time after the probe device 120 of FIG. 11 touches the object 210 to be tested. Referring to Figure 11 and Figure 13 at the same time, when the object under test 210 touches the probe device 120, the probe device 120 will be in an unstable state due to impact, such as a slight vibration, and then it will be confirmed by the contact induction circuit 140 (see Figure 9). After the probe device 120 is in electrical contact with the object under test 210 , the lifting platform 110 stops rising, so that the position of the probe device 120 does not change any more, so the curve L3 can be obtained. The curve L3 can be displayed on the controller 172 of FIG. 9 , the acupressure setting device 176 or other display devices for the user to judge whether the stability of the machine and the state of the object under test 210 are normal.

虽然本发明已以实施方式公开如上,然其并非用以限定本发明,任何本领域普通技术人员,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,当可作各种变动与润饰,因此本发明的保护范围当视权利要求书所界定者为准。Although the present invention has been disclosed above in terms of implementation, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention The scope of protection shall prevail as defined in the claims.
