Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a semiconductor test socket,

The present invention relates to a semiconductor test socket and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a semiconductor test socket and a semiconductor test socket which can overcome the disadvantages of the pogo-pin type semiconductor test socket and the disadvantages of the PCR socket type semiconductor test socket And a manufacturing method thereof.

The semiconductor device is subjected to a manufacturing process and then an inspection for judging whether the electrical performance is good or not. Inspection is carried out with a semiconductor test socket (or a connector or a connector) formed so as to be in electrical contact with a terminal of a semiconductor element inserted between a semiconductor element and an inspection circuit board. Semiconductor test sockets are used in burn-in testing process of semiconductor devices in addition to final semiconductor testing of semiconductor devices.

The size and spacing of terminals or leads of semiconductor devices are becoming finer in accordance with the development of technology for integrating semiconductor devices and miniaturization trends and there is a demand for a method of finely forming spaces between conductive patterns of test sockets. Therefore, conventional Pogo-pin type semiconductor test sockets have a limitation in manufacturing semiconductor test sockets for testing integrated semiconductor devices.

A technique proposed to be compatible with the integration of such semiconductor devices is to form a perforated pattern in a vertical direction on a silicon body made of a silicone material made of an elastic material and then to fill the perforated pattern with a conductive powder to form a conductive pattern PCR socket type is widely used.

1 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional semiconductor test apparatus 1 of PCR socket type. Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional semiconductor testing apparatus 1 includes a support plate 30 and a semiconductor test socket 10 of PCR socket type.

The support plate 30 supports the semiconductor test socket 10 when the semiconductor test socket 10 moves between the semiconductor element 3 and the test circuit board 5. [ Here, a main through hole (not shown) for the advance and retreat guide is formed at the center of the support plate 30, and the through holes for coupling are spaced apart from each other along the edge forming the main through hole . The semiconductor test socket 10 is fixed to the support plate 30 by a peripheral support portion 50 joined to the upper and lower surfaces of the support plate 30.

The PCR socket type semiconductor test socket 10 has a perforated pattern formed on an insulating silicon body and conductive patterns are formed in the vertical direction by the conductive powder 11 filled in the perforated pattern.

The PCR socket has the advantage of being capable of realizing fine pitches. However, since the conductive powder 11 filled in the perforation pattern is caused by the pressure generated when the semiconductor element 3 is in contact with the inspection circuit board 5 There is a disadvantage in that it is restricted in the thickness formation in the vertical direction.

That is, the conductive powders 11 are brought into contact with each other by the pressure in the vertical direction, so that the conductivity is formed. When the thickness is increased, the pressure to be transmitted to the inside of the conductive powder 11 becomes weak, and conductivity may not be formed. Therefore, the PCR socket has a disadvantage in that the thickness of the PCR socket is restricted in the vertical direction.

The insulating main body 200 forms an overall appearance of the semiconductor test socket 100 according to the present invention and is made of an elastic material. In the present invention, it is assumed that the insulating main body 200 is made of a silicone material having an elastic material.

Here, in the present invention, the unit bodies 210 constituting the unit module 110 to be described later are attached to each other in the lateral direction to form the entire insulating main body 200, which will be described in detail later.

The insulating sheet 310 is arranged inside the insulating main body 200 so as to be spaced apart from each other along the transverse direction. In the present invention, it is exemplified that the insulating sheet 310 is provided in the form of a PI film.

A plurality of conductive patterns 320 are formed on one surface of each insulating sheet 310 so as to be spaced from each other along the depth direction (see FIG. 7). At this time, the conductive patterns 320 are spaced apart from each other to be electrically isolated from each other.

Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing the semiconductor test socket 100 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 9. FIG.

First, a plurality of conductive patterns 320 spaced from each other along the depth direction is formed on one surface of the insulating sheet 310. In the present invention, a plurality of conductive patterns 320 are formed on the insulating sheet 310 using the flexible circuit board 311 having the conductive layer 320a formed on one surface of the PI film.

Referring to FIG. 4, a flexible circuit board 311 having a conductive layer 320a formed on one surface of a PI film is prepared as shown in FIG. 4 (a). Then, the conductive layer 320a is patterned by using a mask to form a base conductive layer 320b corresponding to the conductive pattern 320 on the PI film, as shown in Fig. 4 (a). Here, the PI film becomes the insulating sheet 310 according to the present invention, and the conductive pattern 320 according to the present invention of the base conductive layer 320b is formed.
