Yes.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8, the structure of the heat transfer unit 30 that comes into contact with the electronic components held in the socket 9 in the contact-type temperature adjusting unit 10 will be described. FIG. 7 shows the heat transfer section 30 of the contact-type temperature adjusting section 10 mounted on the upper cover 3 in an inverted state in a normal rotation posture, and corresponds to the pair of sockets 9 shown in FIG. . Moreover, FIG. 8 has shown the state which decomposed | disassembled each element which comprises the heat-transfer part 30 to the up-down direction.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the heat transfer section 30 has a rectangular plate shape, and a thin plate 33 is fixed to the upper surface of the heat transfer block 31 by a fixed frame 32. The thin plate 33 is provided with a plurality of convex portions 33 a corresponding to the arrangement of the electronic components 12 in the lead frame 11, and the contact-type temperature adjusting unit 10 is attached to the electronic components 12 held by the socket 9 by closing the upper cover 3. When contacting, the convex portion 33 a contacts the upper surface of each electronic component 12, that is, the back surface of the mold portion 13.

  The convex portion 33a is provided by removing a range other than the portion corresponding to the convex portion 33a by etching in a thin metal plate having excellent thermal conductivity such as copper. The heat transfer block 31 is coupled to one end side of a Peltier element 37 as a thermo module that generates heat in a state where the heat transfer block 31 is incorporated in the contact temperature adjusting unit 10, and transfers heat from the Peltier element 37 to the convex portion 33 a. It has a function.

As shown in FIG. 8, a heat transfer sheet 35 and an elastic sheet 36 are interposed between the thin plate 33 and the heat transfer block 31. The heat transfer block 31 is provided with a rectangular sheet mounting recess 31a, and a rectangular plate-shaped elastic sheet 36 is mounted in the sheet mounting recess 31a. As the elastic sheet 36, silicon which is rich in elasticity and has heat resistance to a heating temperature in the burn-in test (about 100 ° C. in the present embodiment), and further heat-conducting silicon rubber formed into a sheet shape. A sheet is used. Of course, materials other than silicon rubber may be used as long as the above conditions are satisfied. The heat transfer sheet 35 is formed by molding a material having excellent thermal conductivity such as graphite into a sheet shape. By interposing the heat transfer sheet 35, it is possible to improve the thermal conductivity between the thin plate 33 and the heat transfer block 31, which are thin and difficult to adhere by bolt fastening.

  When the heat transfer section 30 is assembled, the elastic sheet 36 is mounted on the sheet mounting recess 31a, the heat transfer sheet 35 is placed on the elastic sheet 36, and the thin plate 33 is mounted thereon. Then, the thin plate 33 is pressed by the fixed frame 32, the bolts 34 are inserted into the mounting holes 32a and 33b provided in the fixed frame 32 and the thin plate 33, respectively, and the bolts 34 are screwed into the screw holes 31b provided in the heat transfer block 31. To do. Thereby, the heat-transfer part 30 with which each said member was integrated is formed. In this state, the convex portion 33a is supported by the thin plate 33 having a small rigidity in the plate pressure direction, and the thin plate 33 is surface-supported on the opposite surface side of the convex portion 33a by the elastic sheet 36 rich in stretchability. Therefore, it is displaced so as to easily sink into the elastic sheet 36 by the force in the surface direction.

  The heat transfer unit 30 assembled in this manner is incorporated into the upper cover 3 as a part of the contact-type temperature adjusting unit 10. Then, by closing the upper cover 3, the heat transfer unit 30 is pressed against the plurality of electronic components 12 held by the socket 9. At this time, as described above, since the convex portion 33a easily sinks into the elastic sheet 36 by the force in the surface direction, when there are variations in height and flatness in the plurality of electronic components 12 held by the socket 9. Even if it exists, the convex part 33a can be made to follow the height of each electronic component 12, and can be made to contact favorably here.

  That is, in the above configuration, the heat transfer section 30 directly or indirectly contacts the plate-shaped heat transfer block 31 coupled to the Peltier element 37 as a thermo module, the heat-conductive elastic sheet 36, and the electronic component. And a thin plate 33 provided with a plurality of convex portions 33a, and the thin plate 33 is coupled to the heat transfer block 31 with an elastic sheet 36 sandwiched between the heat transfer block 31 and the thin plate 33.

  FIG. 9 shows a cross section in a state in which the upper cover 3 in which the contact-type temperature adjusting unit 10 is incorporated is closed. In a state where the upper cover 3 is closed, the heat transfer section 30 is lowered with respect to the socket 9. The heat transfer part 30 is fixed to a base part 3 a provided on the upper cover 3, and one end side of the Peltier element 37 abuts on the upper surface side of the heat transfer part 30 so that the heat transfer part 30 and the Peltier element 37 are heated. Combined. A temperature sensor 39 is inserted in the heat conduction block 31 of the heat transfer section 30, and the temperature of the heat conduction block 31 is detected by the temperature sensor 39.

  The lower surface of the heat exchange member 38 having a plurality of fins 38a abuts on the other end side of the Peltier element 37, and the Peltier element 37 and the heat exchange member 38 are thermally coupled. Further, the ventilation fan 6 is positioned above the heat exchange member 38. By driving the ventilation fan 6, outside air can be taken from outside the upper cover 3 and blown to the fins 38a. When the Peltier element 37 is heating the heat transfer unit 30, the heat exchange member 38 functions to transmit the heat of the outside air to the Peltier element 37, and when the Peltier element 37 is cooling the heat transfer unit 30 The heat exchange member 38 functions to dissipate the heat of the Peltier element 37 to the outside air.

That is, the contact-type temperature adjusting unit 10 includes a heat transfer unit 30 that contacts an electronic component held in the socket 9 and a Peltier element 37 in which the heat transfer unit 30 is thermally coupled to one end side. Further, a heat exchange member 38 for heat exchange is thermally coupled to the other end side of the Peltier element 37, and a ventilation fan 6 is further provided as a ventilation means for blowing air to the fins 38 a provided on the heat exchange member 38. It becomes the composition. In addition, as a form which makes the heat-transfer part 30 contact the electronic component hold | maintained at the socket 9, the heat-transfer part 30 may be made to contact the electronic component 12 directly, or it manufactured with the material with good heat conductivity, such as a metal. You may make the transmission part 30 contact the electronic component 12 indirectly through a heat transfer member.

  FIG. 10 shows details of a state where the upper cover 3 is closed and the heat transfer section 30 is lowered with respect to the socket 9. FIG. 10A shows a state before the heat transfer section 30 comes into contact with the carrier 18 held by the socket 9. At this time, the carrier 18 is positioned with respect to the socket 9 by inserting the upper end portion of the positioning pin 22 into the pin hole 17b provided in the flange portion 17a. In this state, the eject plate 21 on which the carrier 18 is placed is in a normal position supported by the urging force of the spring 24.

  When the heat transfer section 30 descends from this state, as shown in FIG. 10B, the convex portion 33a comes into contact with the back surface of the mold section 13, and further the upper cover 3 is closed to lower the heat transfer section 30. As a result, the entire carrier 18 is pushed downward. As a result, the eject plate 21 is also pushed down against the urging force of the spring 24 together with the carrier 18, and the descent stops at a height at which the flange portion 17a contacts the holding surface 21c. In this state, the heat generated by the Peltier element 37 is transmitted to the electronic component 12 through the heat transfer block 31, the elastic sheet 36, the thin plate 33, and the convex portion 33a. The contact terminal 23 is in contact with the lead 15, and the light emitting element 14 of the electronic component 12 is in a position facing the light receiving portion 25 provided in the socket 9.

  Next, the configuration of the control system will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 11, a plurality of (here, four from # 1 to # 4) sockets 9 and a plurality (two in this case) of contact-type temperature adjusting units 10 are connected to the control unit 40. The control unit 40 includes an electronic component detection unit 41, a temperature control unit A42, a temperature control unit B43, and an electronic component operation test unit 44. The electronic component detection unit 41 detects whether or not a test target electronic component is set in the socket 9, that is, whether or not the carrier 18 in which the lead frame 11 is set is mounted in the socket 9. As a detection method, it is possible to use electrical characteristics such as current, voltage, and resistance during energization for the test, presence / absence of light reception by the light receiving unit 25, and the carrier 18 using an optical sensor or a mechanical sensor. Alternatively, a method of directly detecting

  The temperature control unit A42 and the temperature control unit B43 have a function of driving the Peltier element 37. At this time, while detecting the temperature signal from the temperature sensor 39 set in the heat transfer block 31, the Peltier element 37 is driven to control the temperature of the Peltier element 37 to the target temperature. Here, the operations of the temperature control unit A42 and the temperature control unit B43 are executed based on the electronic component detection result by the electronic component detection unit 41. If the carrier 18 is not set in the sockets # 1 and # 2, the temperature control unit A 42 is in a dormant state, and power supply to the contact temperature adjustment unit 10 corresponding to the sockets 9 # 1 and # 2 is stopped. The Similarly, if the carrier 18 is not set in the sockets # 3 and # 4, the temperature control unit B43 is in a dormant state, and power is supplied to the contact-type temperature adjusting unit 10 corresponding to the sockets 9 and # 4. Stopped.

That is, the electronic component test apparatus according to the present embodiment further includes an electronic component detection unit 41 that detects the presence or absence of an electronic component in the socket 9, and the temperature control unit A42 and the temperature control unit B43 are detected by the electronic component detection unit 41. Based on the result, the power supply to the contact-type temperature adjusting unit 10 where there is no electronic component to be contacted is stopped. As a result, in the electronic component testing apparatus having a plurality of sockets 9, even if the number of lead frames to be tested increases or decreases depending on the work lot, the contact-type temperature adjustment unit necessary for performing the test Only 10 can be driven. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate energy consumption by driving the contact-type temperature adjusting unit 10 corresponding to the socket 9 on which the test object is not mounted, and promote energy saving.

  The electronic component operation test unit 44 has a function of forming an electric circuit via the contact terminal 23 and the electronic component 12 held in the socket 9 to drive the electronic component 12 and detecting its operating state. The electronic component drive unit 45, the measurement unit 46, the determination unit 47, and the determination result storage unit 48 are included. The electronic component drive unit 45 drives the electronic component 12 according to the operation sequence, and causes the light emitting element 14 built in the electronic component 12 to emit light.

  The measurement unit 46 measures the driving state of the electronic component 12 (the light emission state of the semiconductor 14 in the present embodiment). That is, the electrical signal (voltage) output when the light receiving unit 25 receives the light of the light emitting element 14 is measured. The determination unit 47 performs pass / fail determination of the electronic component 12 based on the measurement result by the measurement unit 46. Here, the light emission state detected by the light receiving unit 25 is determined, and it is determined whether or not the deterioration with time of the light emission characteristics of the light emitting element 14 is below an allowable level. That is, in the present embodiment, the electronic component operation test unit 44 causes the light emitting element 14 to emit light and determines the light emitting state detected by the light receiving unit 25.

  The determination result storage unit 48 stores the determination result obtained by the determination unit 47. The determination result stored in the determination result storage unit 48 is output to a personal computer or a determination result display via the communication interface 50, and the determination result is displayed by these. The personal computer displays the inspection result in the form of a pass / fail list. The inspection result is linked to the serial number of each electronic component 12 and output to the determination result display, and the lead frame 11 after the inspection is set to the determination result display on the determination result display. Each determination result is displayed. The control unit 40 is connected to the operation unit 51 (operation button 5) and the display unit 52 (display lamp 7). By operating the operation button 5, an operation instruction is input to the control unit 40. The display of the control state by the control unit 40 is performed by causing the display unit 52 to blink the display lamp 7.

  When performing a burn-in test on the electronic component 12 in the lead frame state with this electronic component testing apparatus, the following procedure is used. First, the lead frame 11 to be tested is sandwiched between the first plate 16 and the second plate 17 to prepare the carrier 18 shown in FIG. Next, the upper cover 3 is opened, and the upper surface of the main body 2 is exposed as shown in FIG. When the carrier 18 is set in the socket 9, the upper cover 3 is closed to cover the upper surface of the main body 2.

  Thereby, the heat transfer part 30 of the contact-type temperature adjusting unit 10 covers the upper side of the carrier 18, and the protrusions 33 a provided on the heat transfer part 30 are in direct contact with the plurality of electronic components 12 held by the carrier 18. At this time, as described above, the thin plate 33 provided with the protrusions 33a is supported by the elastic sheet 36 having a high elasticity, so that the height and flatness of the plurality of electronic components 12 held by the single carrier 18 are increased. Even when the degrees vary, the respective protrusions 33 a are displaced following the respective electronic components 12. Therefore, the convex part 33a and the electronic component 12 are thermally coupled in a good contact state, and good thermal conductivity is ensured.

  Thereby, heat exchange between the Peltier element 37 and the electronic component 12 is performed efficiently and with good responsiveness, and the temperature adjustment time in the burn-in test can be shortened. For example, in a conventional apparatus that raises the temperature in a thermostatic chamber via a heated gas to raise the temperature from room temperature to the test temperature (about 100 ° C.), a temperature adjustment time of about 1 hour is required at the time of temperature increase. It was necessary. On the other hand, in the electronic component testing apparatus of the present embodiment, it is possible to raise the temperature of the plurality of electronic components 12 from room temperature to the test temperature in a short time of 5 to 10 minutes. Significant shortening has been realized.

  In the above embodiment, the convex portion 33a is brought into direct contact with the electronic component 12 in the heat transfer section 30, but the carrier 18A as shown in FIG. 12 is used and the heat transfer section 30 functions as a heat transfer member. The electronic component 12 may be indirectly contacted through a spacer. In this case, the first plate 16A as shown in FIG. 12A is used in place of the first plate 16 together with the second plate 17 shown in FIG.

  The first plate 16 </ b> A is thicker than the first plate 16, and a through hole 16 b is provided at a position corresponding to the electronic component 12.
