Specific embodiment
To make the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, below in conjunction with the embodiment of the present invention, to this Technical solution in inventive embodiments is clearly and completely described, it is clear that described embodiment is that a part of the invention is real Example is applied, instead of all the embodiments.Based on the embodiments of the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art are not making creation Property labour under the premise of every other embodiment obtained, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.In the absence of conflict, under The feature in embodiment and embodiment stated can be combined with each other.
As described in background, the measuring accuracy of probe card is not able to satisfy existing micromation chip in the prior art Test, main reason is that traditional probe card frequently with mechanical movable probe with contact chip electrode, and it is gradually small-sized The chip size of change becomes smaller, and chip surface structure becomes more sophisticated, and is easy to cause alignment tired when contacting using mechanical movable The problems such as hardly possible, poor contact, therefore the testing efficiency as microchips such as Micro-LED is caused to decline.
Based on the above reasons, the present invention provides a kind of probe card, and Fig. 1 is a kind of probe card provided in an embodiment of the present invention Structural schematic diagram, Fig. 2 are the schematic diagram of the section structure of the probe card shown in Fig. 1 along AA ', and Fig. 3 is the side view of probe card shown in FIG. 1 Figure, with reference to Fig. 1-3, which includes substrate 10, patterned substrate layer 20, positioned at the side of substrate 10, patterned substrate layer 20 include at least one vacant slot 21;At least one cantilever probe 30 deviates from the side of substrate 10 positioned at patterned substrate layer 20, Cantilever probe 30 extends to vacant slot 21 and hanging on vacant slot 21;Cantilever probe 30 includes the first thermal deformation layer 31, second Thermal deformation layer 32 and conductive contact 33, the first thermal deformation layer 31 are located between patterned substrate layer 20 and the second thermal deformation layer 32, The thermal expansion coefficient of first thermal deformation layer 31 is greater than the thermal expansion coefficient of the second thermal deformation layer 32, and conductive contact 33 is set to cantilever For probe 30 vacantly in one end of vacant slot 21, the first thermal deformation layer 31 and/or the second thermal deformation layer 32 are conductive layer, conductive layer with Conductive contact 33 is electrically connected.As shown, the second thermal deformation layer 31 is conductive layer, conductive contact 33 is arranged in the second thermal deformation layer 31 surface.
Wherein, substrate 10 is made of rigid, and to carry the probe structure being arranged thereon, 10 material of substrate can be selected With silicon or glass etc., patterned substrate layer 20 is then the substrate layer with vacant slot 21 formed on the substrate 10, and substrate layer can The materials such as silica or metal are used to be made using the substrate of silicon or glass with corresponding, the purpose master of the patterned substrate layer 20 It is to form vacant slot 21, so that probe be made to form cantilever design, cantilever probe 30 is then due to partially vacantly in vacant slot 21 On, therefore the hanging part of the cantilever probe 30 can carry out free bend, to guarantee chip electricity in bending and to be tested Pole contacts and is tested.
The function of 30 free bend of cantilever probe is using the realization of thermal deformation principle, specifically, first in cantilever probe 30 Deformation occurs for meeting when heated for thermal deformation layer 31 and the second thermal deformation layer 32, and due to the first thermal deformation layer 31 and the second thermal deformation The thermal expansion coefficient of layer 32 is different, and when 30 thermal deformation of cantilever probe bends, and the curved direction of cantilever probe 30 takes Certainly in the size of the first thermal deformation layer 31 and the thermal expansion coefficient of the second thermal deformation layer 32.Pass through the first thermal deformation layer 31 of setting Thermal expansion coefficient is greater than the thermal expansion coefficient of the second thermal deformation layer 32, it is ensured that in heating, cantilever probe 30 is to away from base The curving of plate 10.In addition, the first thermal deformation layer and/or the second thermal deformation layer need to be prepared using conductive material, using as leading Electric layer realization is electrically connected with conductive contact, can be to core in the 33 contact chip electrode of conductive contact on cantilever probe 30 Piece carries out the transmission of electric signal, realizes the test to chip.
