Description
The application relates to the technical field of temperature control, in particular to a temperature control device and a temperature control method.
Before leaving the factory, the chips need to be tested according to requirements, such as Burn-in test, ATE (Automatic Test Equipment ) test and the like, so as to ensure that the leaving the factory chips have no quality problems.
In the chip test process, the junction temperature of the chip needs to be controlled. For example, the junction temperature of the chip is controlled not to exceed the irreversible failure temperature of the chip, so as to avoid irreversible damage to the chip due to the junction temperature of the chip exceeding the irreversible failure temperature. For another example, the junction temperature of the chip is controlled to a temperature at which the weak point of the chip can be exposed, and the temperature at which the weak point of the chip can be exposed does not exceed the irreversible failure temperature of the chip, so that the defective chip can be effectively screened out without causing irreversible damage to the chip.
With the development of technology, the power consumption of the chip is increasing. For large power consumption chips, there is a large difference in power consumption between different test vectors. Because the chip generates heat when executing the test vector, the generated heat has a positive correlation with the power consumption of the test vector. Therefore, when the chip is switched between the test vectors with larger power consumption difference, larger heat fluctuation can be generated, and the control difficulty of the junction temperature of the chip is increased.

In order to solve the technical problems, the application provides a temperature control device, which can control the power consumption of test vectors within a certain range and reduce the power consumption difference between different test vectors, thereby reducing the heat fluctuation generated when a chip to be tested is switched between different test vectors and further reducing the difficulty in controlling the junction temperature of the chip to be tested.
It should be noted that, the chip to be tested herein refers to a packaged chip, that is, the chip to be tested includes a die (that is, the chip itself) and a package. The junction temperature of the die under test refers to the temperature of the die in the die under test.
The principle of the temperature control device provided by the application is as follows:
the greater the power consumption of the test vector, the more heat is generated when the chip under test executes the test vector. And the power consumption of the test vector and the power of the test vector are in positive correlation. Therefore, the higher the power of the test vector, the more heat is generated when the chip under test executes the test vector.
The power of the test vector can be calculated by the following formula:
P n to test the power of vector n, k n For the constant of the test vector n, V n IO port voltage, f when test vector n is executed for chip to be tested n (k) For the operating frequency of test vector n, [ fmin, fmax ]]For the operable frequency range of test vector n, f n (k)∈[fmin,fmax]Fmin and fmax are determined by the chip under test.
Note that k corresponding to different test vectors n Different, V corresponding to different test vectors n Different, different test vectors can run frequency ranges [ fmin, fmax ]]The same applies.
Since the operating frequency of the test vector has an operable frequency range, the power of the test vector can be adjusted by adjusting the operating frequency of the test vector.
Based on the method, the power of the test vector can be adjusted by adjusting the operation frequency of the test vector, so that the power consumption of the test vector is adjusted, the power consumption of the test vector is controlled within a certain range, the power consumption difference between different test vectors is reduced, and further, the heat fluctuation generated when the chip to be tested is switched between different test vectors is reduced, so that the control difficulty of the junction temperature of the chip to be tested is reduced.
Next, a temperature control device constructed based on the above principle will be described.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a temperature control device according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, where the temperature control device includes: a processor 110 and a temperature compensation device 120. Wherein:
the processor 110 includes, but is not limited to, a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a Microcontroller (MCU), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a Neural Processing Unit (NPU), or a microprocessor, etc. The processor 110 is configured to input the target operating frequency of the vector to be measured and the vector to be measured to the chip to be measured 130, and control the junction temperature of the chip to be measured 130 by controlling the temperature compensation device 120 during the process of executing the vector to be measured by the chip to be measured 130 at the target operating frequency. The target operating frequency of the vector to be measured is determined according to the reference power. The vector under test is any one of a plurality of test vectors of the chip under test 130. The reference power is used to indicate a fluctuating basis of the power of the vector to be measured. The temperature compensation device 120 is used for compensating the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested. The specific implementation manner of the temperature compensation device 120 is determined according to the application scenario of the temperature control device. For example, the temperature compensation device 120 includes a heating device and a cooling device. As another example, the temperature compensation device 120 includes a temperature reduction device. The heating device comprises but is not limited to a heating rod and the like, and the cooling device comprises but is not limited to a fan, a water cooling device and the like.
From the above, the target operating frequency of the to-be-measured vector is determined according to the reference power, where the reference power is used to indicate the fluctuation standard of the power of the to-be-measured vector, that is, the reference power is used as the reference to determine the target operating frequency of the to-be-measured vector, so that the power consumption of the to-be-measured vector is limited in a certain range, the power consumption difference between different to-be-measured vectors is reduced, and further, the heat fluctuation generated when the to-be-measured chip 130 switches between different to-be-measured vectors is reduced, thereby reducing the difficulty in controlling the junction temperature of the to-be-measured chip 130.
Since the temperature control device controls the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested in the process of testing the chip 130 to be tested, the related components for testing the chip 130 to be tested may be included in the temperature control device or not, and the application is not limited thereto.
In controlling the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested, the following two cases exist for the basic number to be adopted. Wherein:
first, the basic data is the shell temperature of the chip 130 to be tested, that is, the shell temperature of the chip 130 to be tested is obtained, and the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested is controlled by the shell temperature of the chip 130 to be tested.
Second, the base data is the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested, that is, the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested is obtained, and the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested is controlled by the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested.
In controlling the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be measured, the following two cases exist as targets of temperature control. Wherein:
first, the junction temperature of the chip under test 130 is controlled below the target temperature. The target temperature is determined according to the test item to which the vector to be tested belongs. Test items include, but are not limited to: ATE tests, functional tests, etc. require test items that control the junction temperature of the chip 130 under test to a certain temperature. For example, the target temperature is an irreversible failure temperature of the chip 130 under test.
Second, the junction temperature of the chip under test 130 is maintained at the target temperature. The target temperature is determined according to the test item to which the vector to be tested belongs. Test items include, but are not limited to: burn-in test, etc. require test items to maintain the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested at a certain temperature. For example, the target temperature is a temperature capable of exposing a weak spot of the chip 130 under test.
The relevant components to test the chip 130 under test are different due to the different underlying data employed. The determination mode of the reference power, the specific implementation mode of the temperature compensation device 120, and the determination mode of the target operating frequency of the vector to be measured are different due to different targets of temperature control. Accordingly, hereinafter, the structure and operation of the temperature control apparatus including the related components for testing the chip 130 to be tested will be described in detail in four application scenarios composed of two kinds of basic data and two kinds of temperature control targets.
Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a temperature control device in a first application scenario provided in an embodiment of the present application.

Implementations of the temperature sensor include, but are not limited to, PN junctions. Since the temperature control is aimed at controlling the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be measured below the target temperature, the temperature compensation device 120 is a temperature reduction device 121.

The test substrate 140 is provided with a printed circuit (not shown in fig. 4), and the processor 110 is connected to the probes in the probe seats 150 through the printed circuit on the test substrate 140, so that the processor 110 can communicate with the chip 130 to be tested through the printed circuit and the probes and supply power signals to the chip 130 to be tested. In addition, the cooling device 121 is connected to the printed circuit on the test substrate 140, so that the processor 110 can provide a power signal to the cooling device 121 through the printed circuit and control the cooling device 121.

The processor 110 is also configured to provide a power signal to the temperature reduction device 121 and to control the temperature reduction device 121.
The reference power is determined in two ways including, but not limited to:
first, the reference power may be the power of a reference vector, which is one of a plurality of test vectors of the chip under test 130. Specifically, the reference vector may be any one of a plurality of test vectors of the chip under test 130. The reference vector may also be a specified one of a plurality of test vectors of the chip under test 130, such as a test vector with the lowest operating frequency and the highest power. The power of the reference vector can be obtained according to the power calculation formula of the test vector. It should be noted that the operating frequency used in calculating the power of the reference vector may be an operating frequency within the operable frequency range of the reference vector.
Second, the reference power may be one power in a power range of a plurality of test vectors of the chip under test 130. Specifically, the reference power may be any power in a power range of a plurality of test vectors of the chip under test 130. The reference power may also be a specified one of a range of powers for a plurality of test vectors for the chip under test 130, e.g., an intermediate value of the range of powers. The process of determining the power ranges of the plurality of test vectors for the chip under test 130 is: and calculating the power range of each test vector in the plurality of test vectors, and performing union on the power ranges of the test vectors to obtain the power ranges of the plurality of test vectors. It should be noted that the above description of the reference power is only exemplary and is not intended to limit the present application.
The mode of determining the target operating frequency of the vector to be measured is as follows: the default power of the vector to be measured is compared with the reference power. The default power of the vector to be measured is the power of the vector to be measured under the default operating frequency of the vector to be measured. The default operating frequency of the vector under test is one operating frequency in the operable frequency range of the vector under test. Specifically, the default operating frequency of the vector to be measured may be any operating frequency in an operable frequency range of the vector to be measured. The default operating frequency of the vector under test may also be a specified one of the operable frequency ranges of the vector under test, e.g., a median or minimum value of the operable frequency ranges. If the default power of the vector to be measured is smaller than or equal to the reference power, the target operating frequency of the vector to be measured is the default operating frequency of the vector to be measured. If the default power of the vector to be measured is greater than the reference power, the target operating frequency of the vector to be measured is the minimum operating frequency in the operable frequency range of the vector to be measured.
The test and temperature control process will be described below by way of example. The specific process is as follows:
the processor 110 inputs the operating frequency of the vector 1 to be tested and the vector 1 to be tested into the chip 130 to be tested. The operating frequency of the vector 1 to be measured is one operating frequency in the operable frequency range of the vector 1 to be measured.
During the execution of the vector 1 under test by the chip 130 under test at the operating frequency of the vector 1 under test, the processor 110 obtains the junction temperature of the chip 130 under test from at least one temperature sensor in the chip 130 under test.
The processor 110 compares the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested with the target temperature, and if the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested is greater than the target temperature, increases the power of the cooling device 121 to enhance the cooling strength of the chip 130 to be tested, for example, increases the rotation speed of the fan, accelerates heat dissipation until the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested is ensured to be maintained below the target temperature. Taking the vector 1 to be measured as a reference vector, calculating the power of the reference vector according to the formula, and taking the power of the reference vector as the reference power. Ways to increase the power of the temperature reduction device 121 include, but are not limited to, increasing the operating voltage and/or current of the temperature reduction device 121.
Processor 110 determines the target operating frequency of vector 2 under test. Specifically, if the default power of the to-be-measured vector 2 is less than or equal to the reference power, determining the default operating frequency of the to-be-measured vector 2 as the target operating frequency of the to-be-measured vector 2. If the default power of the to-be-measured vector 2 is greater than the reference power, determining the minimum operating frequency in the operable frequency range of the to-be-measured vector 2 as the target operating frequency of the to-be-measured vector 2.
The processor 110 inputs the target operating frequency of the vector 2 to be tested and the vector 2 to be tested into the chip 130 to be tested.
In the process that the chip to be tested 130 executes the vector to be tested 2 under the target operating frequency of the vector to be tested 2, the processor 110 obtains the junction temperature of the chip to be tested 130 from at least one temperature sensor in the chip to be tested 130, combines a PID algorithm, a linear temperature control algorithm and the like according to the junction temperature of the chip to be tested 130, and dynamically adjusts the junction temperature of the chip to be tested 130 by controlling the cooling device 121 so that the junction temperature of the chip to be tested 130 is smaller than the target temperature.
The remaining vectors to be measured are performed based on the principle of performing the vector to be measured 2.
From the above, the calculation of the reference power and the target operating frequency of the vector to be measured is calculated in real time during the test and temperature control processes. In other embodiments of the present application, the reference power and the target operating frequency of the vector to be measured may also be calculated in advance in an offline manner. The target operating frequency of each test vector in the reference power and the plurality of test vectors is calculated in advance, so that the target operating frequency of the vector to be tested is directly obtained from the target operating frequencies of the plurality of test vectors in the test process, and online calculation is not needed.
In order to increase the stability and accuracy of temperature control and ensure the stability of the temperature of the chip 130 to be measured, before inputting the target operating frequency of the vector to be measured and the vector to be measured into the chip 130 to be measured, the processor 110 may also calculate the power of the vector to be measured at the target operating frequency, compare the power of the vector to be measured at the target operating frequency with the reference power, and if the power of the vector to be measured at the target operating frequency is greater than the reference power, increase the power of the cooling device 121 first to increase the cooling force, and then input the target operating frequency of the vector to be measured and the vector to be measured into the chip 130 to be measured. If the power of the vector to be measured at the target operating frequency is less than or equal to the reference power, the target operating frequency of the vector to be measured and the vector to be measured are input to the chip to be measured 130 without adjusting the power of the cooling device 121.
Obviously, before the vector to be measured is input into the chip to be measured 130, if the power of the vector to be measured at the target operating frequency is greater than the reference power, the power of the cooling device 121 is increased to increase the cooling strength of the chip to be measured 130. That is, the power of the cooling device 121 is predicted in advance, and the power of the cooling device 121 is adjusted according to the prediction result, so as to perform temperature compensation in advance, improve the stability and accuracy of temperature control, and ensure the stability of the temperature of the chip 130 to be tested.

In the third application scenario, the adopted basic data is the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested, and the temperature control target is to maintain the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested at the target temperature. It should be noted that, maintaining the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be measured at the target temperature means that the absolute value of the difference between the target temperature and the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be measured is smaller than a preset error value, and the preset error value may be set according to design requirements.
Since the temperature control is aimed at maintaining the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be measured at the target temperature, the temperature compensating device 120 includes a cooling device 121 and a heating device 122.
The temperature control device in fig. 4 is structurally different from the temperature control device in fig. 2 in that: a heating device 122 is added to the temperature control device shown in fig. 4.

It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the heating device 122 may also be disposed between the pressing block 160 and the chip 130 to be tested, which is not limited in particular by the present application. The heating device 122 is connected to a printed circuit on the test substrate 140. The processor 110 provides a power signal to the heating device 122 via the printed circuit and controls the heating device 122, for example, increases the power of the heating device 122 to increase the heating power of the chip 130 to be tested, and for example, decreases the power of the heating device 122 to decrease the heating power of the chip 130 to be tested. Ways to increase the power of the heating device 122 include, but are not limited to, increasing the operating voltage and/or current of the heating device 122. Ways to reduce the power of the heating device 122 include, but are not limited to, reducing the operating voltage and/or current of the heating device 122.
The processor 110 is configured to provide a power signal to the chip 130 to be tested, input a target operating frequency of the vector to be tested and the vector to be tested into the chip 130 to be tested, and obtain a junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested from at least one temperature sensor in the chip 130 to be tested in a process that the chip 130 to be tested executes the vector to be tested at the target operating frequency of the vector to be tested, and control and maintain the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested at the target temperature by controlling the cooling device 121 and/or the heating device 122 according to the obtained junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested. The processor 110 is also configured to provide power signals to the cooling device 121 and the heating device 122, and to control the cooling device 121 and the heating device 122.
The manner of determining the reference power includes, but is not limited to, the following three manners:
first, the reference power is the power of the reference vector, which has been described above and is not Zhu Zhuishu.
Second, the reference power may also be one power in a power range of a plurality of test vectors of the chip under test 130. The second way has been described above and will not be described here again.
Third, the reference power is the total power, where the total power is the sum of the power of the test vector in which the chip 130 under test is running and the power of the heating device 122 when the junction temperature of the chip 130 under test is maintained at the target temperature.
The method for determining the target operating frequency of the vector to be detected is as follows: the target operating frequency of the vector to be measured is a first operating frequency in the operable frequency range of the vector to be measured; wherein the power of the vector to be measured at the first operating frequency is closest to the reference power.
Obviously, by determining the operating frequency when the power of the to-be-measured vector is closest to the reference power as the target operating frequency of the to-be-measured vector, the power of the to-be-measured vector is closest to the reference power under the target operating frequency, namely, the power of the to-be-measured vector is close to the reference power by adjusting the target operating frequency, so that the power of the to-be-measured vector is controlled within a certain range, the power consumption difference among different to-be-measured vectors is reduced, the heat fluctuation generated when the to-be-measured chip 130 is switched among different to-be-measured vectors is reduced, and the junction temperature control difficulty of the to-be-measured chip 130 is reduced.
The test and temperature control process will be described below by way of example. The specific process is as follows:
the processor 110 inputs the operating frequency of the vector 1 to be tested and the vector 1 to be tested into the chip 130 to be tested. The operating frequency of the vector 1 to be measured is one operating frequency in the operable frequency range of the vector 1 to be measured.
During the execution of the vector 1 under test by the chip 130 under test at the operating frequency of the vector 1 under test, the processor 110 obtains the junction temperature of the chip 130 under test from at least one temperature sensor in the chip 130 under test.
The processor 110 compares the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested with the target temperature, and if the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested is greater than the target temperature, increases the power of the cooling device 121 to strengthen the cooling strength of the chip 130 to be tested and/or decrease the power of the heating device 122 to decrease the heating strength of the chip 130 to be tested, for example, increase the rotation speed of the fan, accelerate heat dissipation, decrease the power of the heating rod, and decrease the heating efficiency until the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested is maintained at the target temperature. If the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested is less than the target temperature, the power of the heating device 122 is increased to increase the heating power of the chip 130 to be tested and/or decrease the power of the cooling device 121 to decrease the cooling power of the chip 130 to be tested, for example, increase the power of the heating rod, accelerate heating, decrease the rotation speed of the fan, decrease the heat dissipation efficiency, until the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested is maintained at the target temperature.
Under the condition that the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested is maintained at the target temperature, taking the vector 1 to be tested as a reference vector, calculating the power of the reference vector according to the formula, taking the power of the reference vector as the reference power, or determining the power of the vector 1 to be tested and the power of the heating device 122, adding the power of the vector 1 to be tested and the power of the heating device 122 to obtain the total power, and taking the total power as the reference power.
The processor 110 determines a target operating frequency of the vector to be measured 2, wherein the target operating frequency of the vector to be measured 2 is a first operating frequency in an operable frequency range of the vector to be measured 2; wherein the power of the vector to be measured 2 at the first operating frequency is closest to the reference power.
The processor 110 inputs the target operating frequency of the vector 2 to be tested and the vector 2 to be tested into the chip 130 to be tested.
In the process of the chip 130 to be tested executing the vector 2 to be tested, the processor 110 obtains the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested from at least one temperature sensor in the chip 130 to be tested, combines a PID algorithm, a linear temperature control algorithm and the like according to the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested, and dynamically adjusts the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested by controlling the cooling device 121 and/or the heating device 122 so as to maintain the junction temperature of the chip 130 to be tested at the target temperature.
The remaining vectors to be measured are performed based on the principle of performing the vector to be measured 2.
From the above, the calculation of the reference power and the target operating frequency of the vector to be measured is calculated in real time during the test and temperature control processes. In other embodiments of the present application, the reference power and the target operating frequency of the vector to be measured may also be calculated in advance in an offline manner. The target operating frequency of each test vector in the reference power and the plurality of test vectors is calculated in advance, so that the target operating frequency of the vector to be tested is directly obtained from the target operating frequencies of the plurality of test vectors in the test process, and online calculation is not needed.
In order to increase the stability and accuracy of temperature control and ensure the stability of the temperature of the chip 130 to be measured, the processor 110 may further determine the power of the heating device 122 before inputting the vector to be measured into the chip 130 to be measured, then set the power of the heating device 122, and input the target operating frequency of the vector to be measured and the vector to be measured into the chip 130 to be measured.
The power of the heating device 122 is determined in the following manner: if the difference between the total power and the power of the vector to be measured at the target operating frequency is greater than 0, the power of the heating device 122 is the difference, and if the difference between the total power and the power of the vector to be measured at the target operating frequency is not greater than 0, the power of the heating device 122 is 0.
Obviously, before the vector to be measured is input into the chip 130 to be measured, the power of the heating device 122 is determined according to the power and the total power of the vector to be measured at the target operating frequency, and the power of the heating device 122 is set, that is, the power of the heating device 122 is predicted in advance, and the power of the heating device 122 is set according to the prediction result, so that temperature compensation is performed in advance, the stability and the accuracy of temperature control are improved, and the stability of the temperature of the chip 130 to be measured is ensured.
