Wafer sort normally builds a test environment by tester table and probe are common, and the wafer under this environment on test wafer, to guarantee that the electrical characteristic of each wafer and function all meet specification and the specification of design.Fail will be marked as bad product or bad sheet by the wafer of test,, only have by the wafer of test and just can be encapsulated as chip disallowable at cutting encapsulated phase thereafter.In the On-Wafer Measurement stage, in order to improve yield and the quality of wafer, conventionally also need some parameters of wafer to carry out necessary trimming and programme, thereby realize the function of high-performance more or differentiation.
The mode of a kind of wafer sort of the prior art is: for a kind of wafer of model, design in advance provides a set of probe, comprises measuring probe for measuring wafer electric signal and for trimming and the fusing probe of the wafer of programming in this probe.First, measure by the measuring probe in this probe specification and the specification whether wafer meets design, then wafer is trimmed or programme by fusing probe according to measurement result, " trimming " herein typically refers to by fusing probe carries out the performance of selectivity fusing with improvement wafer to the device of the fuse in the resistor network (or be called trim resistance) of design in advance in wafer or Zener diode and so on, and " programming " herein typically refers to the difference in functionality that by the probe that fuses, predefined fuse in wafer is fused to select wafer.
Please refer to shown in Fig. 1, it is to the circuit diagram that trims resistance control device that resistance trims that trims in wafer in prior art.This figure comprises and trims resistance 110 and trim resistance control device 120.
Trimming resistance 110 comprises: four resistance units of connecting successively, are respectively resistance unit R1, resistance unit R2, resistance unit R3 and resistance unit R4; Four fuses, are respectively fuse F1, fuse F2, fuse F3 and fuse F4.Trim effective resistance (trimming) of resistance 110 with change by blow out fuse.For blow out fuse, need to apply voltage at fuse two ends, carry out blow out fuse by larger electric current.For by probe to be connected to fuse two ends compared with Low ESR, need design respectively at the two ends of fuse two probe pressure points, due to the accuracy limitations of probe, the area of general minimum probe pressure point is the i.e. long and wide 50um that is respectively of 50umX50um(), again for example, due to the restriction (require metal to extend probe pressure point opening and need certain distance) of integrated circuit (IC) design rule, therefore, in actual layout design, trim the required probe pressure point district area of resistance 110 larger.Save probe pad numbers, contribute to reduce chip area.In order to reduce the probe pad numbers that trims resistance 110, the multiple fuses in Fig. 1 adopt next-door neighbour's connected mode, and adjacent like this fuse can share a probe pressure point.For example, the lower end of fuse F1 can share a probe pressure point B with the upper end of fuse F2.
Trim resistance control device 120 blow out fuse one by one, and can not fuse to multiple fuses simultaneously.For example, in the time trimming 4 fuses in resistance 110 and all need to fuse, the first step: first allow switch K6, K7 conducting, capacitor C 1 is charged, then disconnect K6, K7, then allow switch K1, K2 conducting, by C1, fuse F1 is fused; Second step: first allow switch K7, K8 conducting, capacitor C 2 is charged, then disconnect K7, K8, then allow switch K2, K3 conducting, by C2, fuse F2 is fused; Carry out so successively the 3rd step blow out fuse F3; Finally carry out the 4th step blow out fuse F4.Trimming resistance control device 120 can not fuse to multiple fuses simultaneously, its reason is, each fuse failure needs certain voltage (for example 5V, the magnitude of voltage that is constant pressure source V1~V4 is all 5V), in the time fusing simultaneously, need constant pressure source V1 to V4 first capacitor C 1~C4 to be full of to electricity, then capacitor C 1~C4 is connected to A, B, C, D, E probe pressure point simultaneously, now the voltage of probe pressure point A and E will reach 20V, to be pressed into the highest safe voltage chip be 6V for low, may be broken by overvoltage.
Because the resistance control device 120 that trims of the prior art can only fuse one by one and trims the fuse in resistance 110, need the longer wafer sort time of cost, and testing cost is proportional to the testing time, cause wafer sort cost higher, therefore, be necessary to provide a kind of improved technical scheme to overcome the problems referred to above.
