Description
TITLE OF THE INVENTION
Tester Head
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a tester head, and more particularly, it relates to a tester head employed for electrically checking a high density packaging pattern like a pattern of a face mount type substrate to which an LSI chip is directly bonded.
Description of the Prior Art
In recent years, high density packaging and miniaturization are advanced in chips of LSI circuits and the like, and accordingly, it is likely that electric terminals are also miniaturized and increased in number. In many cases, such chips are directly mounted on a substrate according to a face bonding method.
In accord with densification and miniaturization of the chips of LSI circuits and the like, the substrate on which those chips are mounted in a manner of face bonding has been also increasingly densified and miniaturized. Thus, it is necessary to check a wiring pattern of the substrate before the bonding of the chips.
On checking the wiring pattern, a probe card 400 as shown in Fig. 5 connects the substrate, or a test object, with a measuring device. The probe card 400 is composed of a substrate 410 having an opening 420 and a plurality of probes 430 radially disposed in the opening 420, where the probes 430 bent at their respective ends like hooks are pressed against electric terminals of the test object to connect the test object with the measuring device (See Japanese
Unexamined Patent Publication No. 119544/1988).
However, densification, miniaturization and complication of the wiring pattern lead to a difficulty in checking with a probe card in the mode as mentioned above.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a tester head comprising a flexible insulating substrate, a plurality of conductive protrusions provided on the substrate and disposed corresponding to positions of a plurality of electric terminals of a test object, and conductive patterns provided on the substrate, one ends of the conductive patterns being electrically connected to the conductive protrusions while the other ends are connected to output terminals of a tester, the electric terminals being electrically connected to the output terminals of the tester by uniformly pressing the conductive protrusions against the electric terminals of the test object with an elastic insulating board.
Preferably, the flexible insulating substrate has a plurality of through holes formed corresponding to positions of the electric terminals of the test object, the conductive patterns are formed on the rear face of the substrate, the bottom portions of the conductive protrusions are connected to the conductive patterns on the rear face of the substrate, and the tops of the conductive protrusions shoot out above the surface of the substrate through the through holes.
Pressing protrusions may extend from the bottom faces of the conductive protrusions.
Also preferably, the through holes are formed so that the holes on the surface of the substrate are larger in diameter than the holes on the rear face of the substrate, cross sections of the through holes are stepwise, and the outer diameters of the tops of the conductive protrusions are smaller than the diameters of the holes on the surface of the substrate and larger than the diameters of the holes on the rear face of the substrate.
Thus, the present invention provides a tester head which can measure various electrical characteristics of a test object even if it has more densified and miniaturized patterns.

DESCRIPTION OF TI1E PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention will now be described in conjunction with embodiments 1 through 4 shown in the accompanying drawings.
(Embodiment 1
Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing a tester head of an embodiment according to the present invention,
Fig. 2 is a schematic view showing a manner in which the tester head is used to measure various electrical characteristics, Fig. 3 is a schematic plan view showing a measuring device throughout, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing conductive protrusions of a modified tester head of the embodiment according to the present invention. In this embodiment, a liquid crystal display 200 is employed as an exemplary test object.
A tester head 100 of this embodiment, which is employed for measuring various electrical characteristics of the liquid crystal display 200, is made of a flexible film 110 which is formed with conductive patterns 120 on its rear face 111, which are, in turn, provided with conductive protrusions 121 at the respective ends; and the conductive protrusions 121 are pressed against electric terminals 210.
The flexible film 110 is made of a flexible material such as polyimide film and the like and formed with predetermined conductive patterns 120 on its surface. The conductive patterns 120 are designed depending upon the liquid crystal display 200.
The conductive protrusions 121 are semi-spherical in shape and positioned at the ends of the conductive patterns 120. The conductive protrusions 121 are pressed against the electric terminals 210 of the liquid crystal display 200.
The conductive protrusions 121 are formed by etching copper film which is formed on the surface 11.1 of the flexible film 110 or by plating the surface 111 of the flexible film 110 with copper. Simultaneously, the conductive patterns 120 are formed.
Then, the measuring of electrical characteristics of the liquid crystal display 200 employing the tester head 100 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 2 and 3.
A test device 300 is, as shown in Fig. 3, composed of a contact portion 310 in which the liquid crystal display 200 and the tester head 100 are aligned with and pressed against each other between the electric terminals 210 of the liquid crystal display 200 and the conductive protrusions 121 of the tester head 100, a test unit 320 for checking the liquid crystal display 200, a control unit 330 for controlling the test device 300 throughout, and the like.
The contact portion 310 comprises a plate 311 for pressing the tester head 100 on its rear face against the liquid crystal display 200, pressure rubber 312 interposed between the plate 311 and the tester head 100 to divergently applying the pressure to the conductive protrusions 121, a connector 314 connecting the test unit 320 to the tester head 100, and a wiring board 313.
Thus, simply pressing the conductive protrusions 121 of the tester head 100 against the electric terminals 210 of the liquid crystal display 200, the tester head 100 can be connected to the test unit 320 to measure the electrical characteristics of the liquid crystal display 200.
The shape of each of the conductive protrusions 121 are not limited to a semi-sphere as shown in Fig. 1, but may be a short cylinder, for example, as shown in Fig. 4.
A tester head of this embodiment has conductive patterns formed on a surface of a flexible film and having conductive protrusions which are pressed against electric terminals of a test object, so that it can test the test object having more densified and miniaturized electric terminals.
(Embodiment 2
Fig. 6 is a schematic, perspective, partially cutaway view showing a tester head of another embodiment according to the present invention, while Fig. 7 is a sectional view showing a conductive protrusion of a modified tester head of the embodiment. Similar to the previous embodiment, in this embodiment, a liquid crystal display 200 is employed as an exemplary test object.
A tester head 100 of this embodiment, which is employed for measuring various electrical characteristics of the liquid crystal display 200, is made of a flexible film 110 which is provided with through holes 113 corresponding to electric terminals 210 of the liquid crystal display 200 and which has predetermined conductive patterns 120 on its rear face 111. Conductive protrusions 121 extend from the ends of the conductive patterns 120 and shoot out through the through holes 113 above a surface 112.
The flexible film 110 is made of a flexible material~ such as polyimide film and the like and formed with predetermined conductive patterns 120 on its rear surface 111. The conductive patterns 120 are designed depending upon the liquid crystal display 200. The flexible film 110 is provided with the circular through holes 113 corresponding to the electric terminals 210 of the liquid crystal display 200 and to the ends of the conductive patterns 120 as well.
In the ends of the conductive patterns 120, the semispherical conductive protrusions 121 are formed. Thus, the conductive protrusions 121 shoot out through the through holes 113 above the surface 112 of the flexible film 110.
The conductive protrusions 121 are pressed against the electric terminals 210 of the liquid crystal display 200.
The conductive protrusions 121 are formed by plating the ends of the conductive patterns 120 through the through holes 113.
The measuring of electrical characteristics of the liquid crystal display 200 with the tester head 100 of this embodiment is performed in the same manner as in the previous embodiment.
Although it has been stated that the conductive protrusions 121 are semi-spherical in shape, the present invention is not limited to the precise form of the previous statement. For example, the conductive protrusions may have shapes of truncated pyramids as shown in Fig. 7 so long as they shoot out above the surface 112 through the through holes 113 of the flexible film 110.
A tester head of this embodiment, which is employed for measuring various electrical characteristics of a test object, is made of a flexible film which is provided with through holes corresponding to electric terminals of the test object and which has predetermined conductive patterns in its rear face, where conductive protrusions formed in the ends of the conductive patterns shoot out above a surface of the flexible film through the through holes, and the conductive protrusions are pressed against the electric terminals of the test object to connect a measuring device with the test object. In this way, a test object having more densified and miniaturized electric terminals can be tested.
(Embodiment 3
Fig. 8 is a schematic, perspective, partially cutaway view showing a tester head of still another embodiment according to the present invention, while Fig. 9 is a side view showing the tester head. Similar to the previous embodiments, in this embodiment, a liquid crystal display 200 is employed as an exemplary test object.
The tester head 100 of this embodiment, which is employed for measuring various electrical characteristics of the liquid crystal display 200, is made of a flexible film 110 which is provided with through holes 113 corresponding to electric terminals 210 of the liquid crystal display 200 and which has predetermined conductive patterns 120 on its rear face 111. Semi-spherical conductive protrusions 121 extend from the ends of the conductive patterns 120 and shoot out through the through holes 113 above a surface 112, and pressing protrusions 122 are further formed on the rear face 111.
The flexible film 110 is made of a flexible material such as polyimide film and the like and formed with predetermined conductive patterns 120 on its rear surface 111 by etching or the like. The conductive patterns 120 are designed depending upon the liquid crystal display 200. The flexible film 110 is also provided with circular through holes 113 corresponding to the electric terminals 210 of the liquid crystal display 200 and to the ends of the conductive patterns 120 as well.
The conductive protrusions 121 are semi-spherical in shape, which are smaller in diameter than the through holes 113, and are positioned in the ends of the conductive patterns 120. Thus, the conductive protrusions 121 shoot out through the through holes 113 above the surface 112 of the flexible film 110. The conductive protrusions 121 are pressed against the electric terminals 210 of the liquid crystal display 200. The conductive protrusions 121 are formed by plating the ends of the conductive patterns 120 through the through holes 113.
On the rear face 111 of the flexible film 110, almost semi-spherical pressing protrusions 122, which are larger in diameter than the conductive protrusions 121 and the through holes 113, are formed. The pressing protrusions 122 are designed to close the through holes 113 at the rear face 111.
The pressing protrusions 122 are formed by plating, similar to the conductive protrusions 121. In other words, the conductive protrusions 121 and the pressing protrusions 122 are formed as unities.
The measurement of electrical characteristics of the liquid crystal display 200 with the tester head 100 of this embodiment is. performed in the same manner as in the previous embodiments. At this time, when the conductive protrusions 121 are pressed against the electric terminals 210 of the liquid crystal display 200, the pressing protrusions 122 are thrust into pressure rubber 312, so that the pressure of a plate 311 is assuredly transmitted to the conductive protrusions 121. In other words, the conductive protrusions 121 assuredly come into contact with the electric terminals 210 with a certain pressing force.
Although it has been stated that the conductive protrusions 121 are almost semi-spherical in shape, the present invention is not limited to the precise form of the previous statement. Other shapes are possible so long as the conductive protrusions 121 shoot out above the surface 112 of the flexible film 110 and the pressing protrusions 122 shoot out below the rear face 111.
A tester head of this embodiment, which is employed for measuring various electrical characteristics of a test object, is made of a flexible film which is provided with through holes corresponding to electric terminals of the test object and which has predetermined conductive patterns in its rear face, where conductive protrusions formed in the ends of the conductive patterns shoot out above the surface of the flexible film through the through holes, and pressing protrusions are also formed on the rear face. In this way, a test object having more densified and miniaturized electric terminals can be tested, and the electric terminals of the test object and the conductive protrusions can be in contact with each other with a certain pressing force. Thus, the electrical characteristics can be more assuredly measured.
Embodiment 41
Fig. 10 is a schematic, perspective, partially cutaway view showing a tester head of yet another embodiment according to the present invention, while Fig. 11 is a side view of the tester head.
The tester head 100 of this embodiment, which is employed for measuring various electrical characteristics of the liquid crystal display 200, is made of a flexible film 110 which is provided with through holes 113 at two levels corresponding to electric terminals 210 of the liquid crystal display 200 and which has predetermined conductive patterns 120 on its rear face 111. Semi-spherical conductive protrusions 121 extend from the ends of the conductive patterns 120 and shoot out through the through holes 113 above a surface 112.
The flexible film 110 is made of a flexible material such as polyimide film and the like, and formed with the predetermined conductive patterns 120 on its rear surface 111 by etching or the like. The conductive patterns 120 are designed depending upon the liquid crystal display 200. The flexible film 110 is also provided with the circular through holes 113 at two levels corresponding to the electric terminals 210 of the liquid crystal display 200 and to the ends of the conductive patterns 120 as well.
The conductive protrusions 121 are semi-spherical in shape, which are smaller in diameter than the through holes 113, and are positioned at the ends of the conductive patterns 120. Thus, the conductive protrusions 121 shoot out through the through holes 113 above the surface 112 of the flexible film 110. The conductive protrusions 121 are pressed against the electric terminals 210 of the liquid crystal display 200. The conductive protrusions 121 are formed by plating the ends oE the conductive patterns 120 through the through holes 113.
The measurement of electrical characteristics of the liquid crystal display 200 with the tester head 100 of this embodiment is performed in the same manner as in the previous embodiments.
Thus, simply pressing the conductive protrusions 121 of the tester head 100 against the electric terminals 210 of the liquid crystal display 200, the tester head 100 is connected to a test unit to measure the electrical characteristics.
Although it has been stated that the conductive protrusions 121 are almost semi-spherical in shape, the present invention is not limited to the precise form of the previous statement. Other shapes are possible so long as the conductive protrusions 121 shoot out above the surface 112 of the flexible film 110.
Also, although it has been stated that the through holes 113 are formed at two levels, the present invention is not limited to the precise form of the previous statement. Other forms are possible so long as the bottom portions of the conductive protrusions 121 are smaller in diameter than their top portions.
A tester head of this embodiment, which is employed for measuring various electrical characteristics of a test object, is made of a flexible film which has predetermined conductive patterns on its rear face, where conductive protrusions formed in the ends of the conductive patterns shoot out above the surface of the flexible film through through holes formed corresponding to electric terminals of the test object. In the tester head, the through holes are disposed at two levels, and hence, the bottom portions of the conductive protrusions are electrically isolated but the conductive patterns are not. In this way, the conductive pattern can be formed indifferent of the shape of the conductive protrusions, a test object having more densified and miniaturized electric terminals can be tested, and the electric terminals of the test object and the conductive protrusions can be in contact with each other with a certain pressing force. Thus, the electrical characteristics can be more assuredly measured.
The invention being thus described, it will be
obvious that the same may be varied in many ways.
Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure
from the scope of the invention.
There are described above novel features which
the skilled man will appreciate give rise to
advantages. These are each independent aspects of the
invention to be covered by the present application, irrespective of whether or not they are included within the scope of the following claims.
