The present invention relates to a microcontact array structure applicable to a socket or interposer for inspection of semiconductor devices.
In order to inspect whether or not a manufactured semiconductor device is defective, a process of analyzing the electrical characteristics of the subject by applying an electrical signal to the semiconductor device using a tester is performed. In such a process, a semiconductor device to be inspected and a tester Separate test sockets are required for mutual electrical connection.
In addition, the structural characteristics associated with the electrical connection, such as the terminal structure, the shape and the arrangement interval of the semiconductor device manufactured through the microfabrication process, are different for each semiconductor device to be inspected, For compatibility, an interposer, which is used to convert the space, is required between the inspection object and the inspection object.
A micro contact array applied to an electrical connection device such as a test socket or an interposer that is involved in electrical connection between a test object and a test object is positioned between the test object and the test object, As the external force is applied repetitively in the process of being pressed to the test object side for inspection, the structural recovery of the microcontact array is largely related to the durability of the whole equipment such as the test socket or interposer and the reliability of the test result.
Prior art documents related to the prior art for preventing structural deterioration of the external force applied to the microcontact array and reliability of the inspection process are disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1514636 entitled "Semiconductor Device Test Socket Using Cantilever Structure " (Hereinafter referred to as " prior art "). In this conventional technique, the structure of the contact element in the microcontact array is transformed into the shape of a cantilever structure, thereby reducing the damage and deformation of the structure due to the external force applied. The test has been made to increase the durability of the socket.
However, the structure of a contact element in a micro contact array, which is suitably applied to an existing test socket or interposer including the prior art and performs electrical connection between a semiconductor device and a tester, As a result, the contact position of the contact element with respect to the terminal of the object to be inspected is varied according to the inspection process of the object to be tested repeatedly, and furthermore, the test socket or interposer to which such a micro- There is a problem that the reliability of inspection of the same apparatus is deteriorated.

In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a micro contact array structure for inspecting a semiconductor device, the one end of the micro contact array structure contacting a terminal of a semiconductor device and the other end contacting a test substrate of the tester, A plurality of micro contact elements which are elastically compressed in a direction in which an external force is applied; A supporting member which is provided in the form of wrapping around an intermediate portion excluding the both ends of the micro contact elements, to support the micro contact elements so as to be elastically compressible; And a plurality of micro-contact elements which are coupled to the support member so as to receive and expose one end of the micro-contact elements toward the semiconductor device, and guide terminals of the semiconductor device so that terminals of the semiconductor device can contact one end of the micro- And a guide member formed with a plurality of guide holes, wherein the microcontact element includes an elastic compression portion in the form of a ring having an elastic hole at its center.
In addition, the elastic compression portion is provided in a bilaterally symmetrical shape, and is located at an intermediate portion of the micro contact element accommodated in the support member.
Here, the micro contact element may include: a first connection portion extending from the elastic compression portion toward the semiconductor device; And a second connection part extending from the elastic compression part to the tester side, wherein the first connection part and the second connection part are formed at positions corresponding to left and right symmetry axes of the elastic compression part.
Further, a contact groove is formed at an end of the first connection portion accommodated in the guide member, the contact groove being embedded into the tester side with a predetermined curvature,
In addition, the terminal of the semiconductor device is provided in the form of a solder ball, and the contact groove is embedded into the tester side with a greater curvature than the curvature of the terminal of the semiconductor device of the solder ball type.
Further, the support member is made of a material having an elastic deformation and insulation function, and more specifically, it is prepared by curing one of liquid silicone rubber or liquid urethane.
According to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.
First, the elastic compressed portion of the microcontact device is provided in a symmetrical circular or elliptical shape, so that the external force generated in the process of inspecting the semiconductor device for defects can be uniformly and uniformly distributed right and left.
Secondly, the external force applied to the microcontact device is balancedly dispersed by the support member surrounding the interruption of the microcontact device, and the degree of stress generated from the microcontact device is lowered even in the course of the continuous inspection process. The durability and inspection reliability of the test socket or interposer to which the micro-contact array structure for inspecting the semiconductor device of the invention is applied is increased.
Thirdly, the external force applied to the microcontact device is balanced by the structural characteristics of the microcontact device, so that the frequency of occurrence of deformation with respect to the contact position between the microcontact device and the terminal of the semiconductor device is minimized The test reliability of the test socket or interposer to which the micro-contact array structure for inspecting a semiconductor device of the present invention is applied is increased.
Fourth, since the interruption of the microcontact device is wrapped and supported by the support member provided by the elastic deformation and the insulating material, it is possible to provide the structural restoration by the elasticity of the microcontact device and secure the stability of the electrical connection performance.
