In a related art, fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a test structure of a chip test scheme in the related art. As shown in fig. 1, in this related art, a plurality of multimeters 20 can be attached to a substrate 10 of a chip test board. Wherein each multimeter 20 is correspondingly connected to one device under test (Device Under Test, DUT), i.e. to one of DUTs 1 to 6, and each multimeter is adapted to test a connected device under test (i.e. chip under test).
Then, the related art has one or more of the following disadvantages.

Disadvantage 2, multimeters do not guarantee time-domain accuracy of measured electrical performance parameters. And, the test accuracy of multimeters tends to be low, affecting the chip test accuracy.
Disadvantage 3 this solution requires reserving circuitry on the test board for stringing the DUT into the test structure, making automated testing difficult.

In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, before describing in detail the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, a specific example is used to describe the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure in its entirety.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of an exemplary chip test board provided by an embodiment of the disclosure. Wherein the dashed arrow in fig. 2 is used to represent the communication connection between the chip management device 330 and the switch control device 320. Illustratively, the two may be connected by a serial bus. As shown in fig. 2, a chip test board provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a switch control device 320 and a chip management device 330. The chip management apparatus 330 and the switch control apparatus 320 may be integrated on the substrate 10 of the chip test board. The substrate 10 may be a circuit board for testing a chip. Illustratively, the substrate 10 may be a printed circuit board (Printed Circuit Boards, PCB) or the like.
As shown in fig. 2, the chip management apparatus 330 may monitor electrical performance parameters of any one or more chip ICs under the control of the switch control apparatus 320, so as to implement chip testing of any one or more chip ICs under test.
Next, the chip test board and the chip test method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
First, a chip test board is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.
Fig. 3 shows a schematic structural diagram of a chip test board in an embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, the chip test board provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include n chip test branches 310, a switch control device 320, and a chip management device 330. Wherein n may be any positive integer greater than or equal to 2, and n may be set according to a specific test scenario and a specific test requirement, which is not particularly limited.
Next, each constituent structure of the chip test board will be described in order.
For the chip test branches 310, each chip test branch corresponds to a chip under test. One end of each chip testing branch 310 is connected to the positive electrode of the voltage source 340, and the other end of each chip testing branch 310 is connected to the negative electrode of the voltage source 340. Illustratively, by this connection, the voltage source 340 may provide a voltage signal for each chip test branch.
To facilitate understanding of the chip test branch 310, the technical terms involved, and the specific arrangement of the n chip test circuits 310, will be described.
The chip to be tested may refer to a chip to be tested. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the chip to be tested may refer to a packaged chip, i.e., a packaged chip, obtained after performing a packaging process. The packaged chips can be tested through the electrical performance parameters of the packaged chips, so that the chip defects possibly caused by reasons such as ESD, self-processing defects and the like in the chip packaging process are avoided, and the yield of the packaged chips is improved.
For the voltage source 340, it may be a structure, a circuit module, etc. capable of providing a test voltage signal to the chip under test. In some embodiments, the voltage source 340 may be a voltage source internal to the chip test board, such as may be the first power supply in a chip management device. For example, to improve stability of the test, the first power supply may be a constant voltage power supply. In other embodiments, the voltage source 340 may be a voltage source external to the chip test board, such as a second power supply in the test station 40 connected to the chip test board. It should be noted that, the voltage source 340 may also be implemented as other structures, circuits or functional modules capable of providing a voltage signal, which is not limited in particular. And, for the connection between the chip test board and the test machine 40, the chip test board may be mounted on the test machine 40, or the chip test board and the test machine 40 may be separately disposed, and the two may be connected by a connection cable, which is not particularly limited.
The specific arrangement of the n chip test circuits 310 is as follows. In one embodiment, n chip test branches 310 may be disposed inside a chip test board. Optionally, to improve signal monitoring quality, the n chip test branches 310 may have different depths compared to the chip test board surface. For example, they may be arranged in different hierarchies. By setting the n chip test branches 310 to different depths, the influence of data crosstalk, data loss, signal reflection and the like between the chip test branches 310 on the monitored electrical performance parameters can be reduced, and the signal monitoring quality is improved.
Having described the above, a description of the specific structural elements of the chip test branch 310 follows.
As shown in fig. 3, each chip test branch 310 includes a switching element 311 and a chip connecting element 312 connected in series.
As for the switching element 311, it can be used to control the on or off of the chip test branch 310 where it is located. For any one of the chip test branches 310, when the switching element 311 in that branch is turned on, the positive voltage of the voltage source may be applied to one end of the chip under test to which the chip connection element 312 in that branch is connected. The switching element 311 may be implemented as a device having a switching function, such as a relay, a transistor, or a circuit or a device having a switching function, for example, without being particularly limited.
In some embodiments, the switching element 311 may include a fixed contact and m movable contacts, where the fixed contact may be connected to the chip connecting element 312 connected in series therewith, the m movable contacts may be respectively connected to different available voltage sources, and when the fixed contact is conducted with one of the movable contacts, the available voltage source to which the one movable contact is connected may be used as the voltage source 340 in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Where m may be any integer greater than or equal to 2, which is not particularly limited. The switching element 311 may be implemented as a switching chip or a MOS series-parallel structure, for example, without particular limitation.
In one embodiment, fig. 4 shows a schematic structural diagram of a switching element according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 4, in the case that the voltage source may be the first power supply 332 in the chip management device 330 or the second power supply 41 in the test machine 40, the switching element 311 may include a fixed contact 311A, a first movable contact 311B, and a second movable contact 311C.
The fixed contact 311A of the switching element 311 is used for connecting to a chip connecting element 312 connected in series therewith, the first movable contact 311B of the switching element 311 is used for connecting to a first power supply 332, and the second movable contact 311C of the switching element 311 is used for connecting to a second power supply 41.
At this time, the switch control device 320 is specifically configured to control the conduction between the fixed contact terminal 311A of the switching element 311 of the target chip testing branch and the first movable contact terminal 311B of the switching element 311 of the target chip testing branch. When the fixed contact 311A of the switching element 311 of the target chip testing branch is connected to the first movable contact 311B, the first power supply 332 is used as the voltage source 340.
Alternatively, the switch control device 320 is specifically configured to control the conduction between the fixed contact terminal 311A of the switching element 311 of the target chip testing branch and the second movable contact terminal 311C of the switching element 311 of the target chip testing branch. When the fixed contact 311A of the switching element 311 of the target chip testing branch is connected to the second movable contact 311C, the second power supply 41 is used as the voltage source 340.
Through the embodiment, the second power supply or the first power supply in the test machine can be flexibly selected as the voltage source according to the test requirement by controlling the conduction between the fixed contact end and the two movable contact ends (namely the first movable contact end and the second movable contact end) of the switch element 311, so that the reasonable setting of the voltage source is realized, and the test flexibility and the reasonable utilization of the energy are improved.
After the switching element 311 is described, the description of the chip connection element 312 is continued.
For the chip connecting element 312, it is used to connect the chip to be tested corresponding to the chip test branch. For example, for any one of the chip test legs 310, the chip connecting element 312 in that leg may connect the connected chip under test to that leg. In a specific example, when the chip to be tested is connected to the branch, the Input end (Input) of the chip to be tested is connected to the other end of the switching element, and the Output end (Output) of the chip to be tested is used for being directly connected to the negative electrode of the voltage source, or is connected to the negative electrode of the voltage source through the resistor element. For example, the input terminal of the chip under test may be a Power supply (Power) terminal of the chip under test.
In one embodiment, the chip connection element may be implemented as a Socket structure (Socket). The slot structure can be used for fixing the chip to be tested and connecting the chip to be tested into the chip test circuit. In one example, the chip connection element may include a power pin and a signal pin. The power pin of the chip connecting element is connected with the power pin of the chip to be tested, so that when the switch element is turned on, the voltage signal provided by the voltage source 340 is provided to the chip to be tested through the power pin of the chip connecting element. And the signal pins of the chip connecting element are connected with the signal pins of the chip to be tested, so that when the switch element is conducted, the electrical performance parameters of the chip to be tested are provided to the chip management device through the signal pins of the chip connecting element.
In the example, the chip to be tested can be quickly plugged and unplugged through the slot structure, the chip to be tested can be quickly connected into the chip test branch circuit when the test is started, and the chip to be tested can be quickly disconnected from the chip test branch circuit when the test is ended, so that the chip test efficiency is further improved. And the slot structure can realize the mass and automatic test of the chips to be tested.
It should be noted that, the chip connecting element 312 may be other structures capable of connecting the chip to be tested, or a substrate area for placing the test chip in the substrate of the chip test board, and the like, which is not particularly limited.
In some embodiments, fig. 5 shows a schematic structural diagram of another chip test board in an embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in fig. 5, each chip test branch 310 further includes a resistive element 313.
In each chip test branch 310, a first connection end of the switching element 311 of the branch is used for being connected with the positive electrode of the voltage source 340, a second connection end of the switching element 311 of the branch is used for being connected with one end of the chip connecting element 312, the other end of the chip connecting element 312 of the branch is used for being connected with one end of the resistance element 313, and the other end of the resistance element 313 is used for being connected with the negative electrode of the voltage source 340.
In a specific example, fig. 6 shows a schematic structural diagram of an exemplary chip test board provided by an embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in fig. 6, the resistive elements in the n chip test branches may include variable resistors R1 to Rn. The flexible control of the chip test branch can be realized through the variable resistor, so that the voltage applied to the test chip can be flexibly adjusted in a mode of adjusting the variable resistor according to the chip type or the chip working mode and the like, and the test flexibility is improved.
It should be noted that the resistive element 313 may include one or more resistors connected in series, parallel, or series-parallel connection. Or may be implemented as a device, circuit or functional module having a resistive function, without particular limitation.
Through the embodiment, the excessive current in the chip test branch can be avoided through the resistor element 313, so that the damage of the large current to the chip management device, such as the damage to the electrical performance parameter monitor or the voltage unit in the chip management device, can be avoided, and the safety of the chip test board is improved.
It should be noted that other functional modules, devices or circuit units may be disposed in the chip test branch according to the actual test requirements and test scenarios, which is not particularly limited.
After the chip test branch 310 is introduced through the above, the description of the switch control device 320 is continued.
The switch control device 320 is connected to the control end of the switching element in each chip testing branch, and is used for sending a control end switch on signal to the switching element of the target chip testing branch, where the switch on signal is used for controlling the switching element 311 of the target chip testing branch to be turned on. In one example, the switch on signal may be a high level signal or a low level signal, etc. Illustratively, the switch on signal may control the on and off of devices such as relays, transistors, etc. in the switching element.
Alternatively, the switch control device 320 may also control the on/off of the switching elements 311 of the other chip test branches of the n chip test branches except for the target chip test branch, while controlling the on/off of the switching elements 311 of the target chip test branch. In one example, the switch control device 320 may be referred to as a master chip module, which may include one or more master chips (or referred to as control chips) to implement control functions.
The target chip test branch circuit comprises at least one chip test branch circuit of n chip test branch circuits. The target chip test branch may be a particular chip test branch, for example. In one example, a target chip test leg may be selected among n chip test legs according to preset test logic. For example, if n chips to be tested are arranged in an array, the n chip test branches may be used as target chip test branches to obtain electrical performance parameters of the n chips to be tested for chip testing. Then, the problem can be corresponding to a certain column, and the chip testing branch corresponding to the chip to be tested in the same column is taken as the target chip testing branch, so as to obtain the electrical performance parameters of the chip to be tested in the column. Then, the test chips in the column can be removed one by one for testing until the problem is positioned to a certain chip to be tested.
