Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an interconnect structure and a probe card including the same,

The present invention relates to an interconnect structure and a probe card including the same.

In general, the semiconductor package is finally subjected to characteristic measurement or defect inspection through various electrical tests by an inspection apparatus. In this defect inspection, a probe card, a test socket, or the like is used to electrically connect the electronic device and the inspection apparatus, and the probe card and the test socket include an interconnect structure for driving between the electronic device and the inspection apparatus.

The conventional interconnect structure includes an upper probe pin, a lower probe pin spaced apart from the upper probe pin and disposed below the upper probe pin, an elastic member positioned between the upper probe pin and the lower probe pin, And a housing surrounding the pin and spring.

This interconnect structure is made along the point of contact between the upper probe pin, the spring, the housing and the lower probe pin, through which the electrical signal is transmitted through the tilting of the spring. Also, according to this, since the movement path of the electrical signal is formed sequentially or inversely along the upper probe pin, the spring, the housing, and the lower probe pin, the movement path of the electrical signal is complicated. In addition, there is a problem that the travel path of the electrical signal is complicated, the inspection time of the semiconductor package is long, and the impedance matching section is reduced.

In addition, in the conventional interconnect structure, a housing must be provided for the transmission of electrical signals. In order to transmit electrical signals, a tilting of the spring is required. In order to induce the tilting of the spring, the overall length of the interconnect structure is required to be more than a certain length, and a spring located between the upper probe pin and the lower probe pin And the overall length of the interconnect structure is increased due to the length. Such a requirement for length limits the scratch length of the interconnect structure. In addition, the increase in length required for the interconnect structure also caused a problem of increasing the travel time of the electrical signal.

Further, according to such an interconnect structure, an electrical signal is transmitted by point contact between the upper probe pin, the spring, the housing, and the lower profile pin, so that the occurrence rate of the noise during the transmission of the electrical signal is high and the transferability is low.

In order to solve the problems of the conventional interconnect structure, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2015-0053480 (entitled "Inner Bridge Type Spring Probe Pin" with an enlarged tolerance) has a first connecting leg portion formed on at least one side thereof A first probe having a first external contact formed on the other side thereof; A second probe having a second connection leg formed at least on one side and a second external contact on the other side; And a coil spring elastically supporting the first and second probes in a state in which the first and second connection legs are inserted in an interpolating manner.

However, as the thickness of the first and second connecting legs located in the coil spring becomes thinner as the fine pitch is required, the rigidity of the first and second connecting legs is reduced, and the contact force is reduced The performance of the interconnect structure is reduced. In addition, such an interconnect structure has a problem in that first and second connection leg portions which are in contact with each other when the high current is applied are broken.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an interconnect structure complementary to the physical and electrical characteristics of a probe card and a probe card including the same.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an interconnect structure comprising a lower tip portion and a first contact portion extending upward from the lower tip portion and having an upper opened sliding groove, A first contactor; A second contact portion into which a lower portion is inserted into the sliding groove, a step portion extending upward from the second contact portion, A second contactor including an upper tip extending upwardly from the stepped portion; And an elastic member which is inserted in the second contact portion and whose lower end is in contact with the upper surface of the first contact portion, wherein the outer side surface of the first contact portion and the inner side surface of the sliding groove are in surface contact.

According to the above-mentioned problem solving means of the present invention, since the entire space in the inner diameter of the elastic member can be used, the rigidity of the contact portion can be improved, and the effect of improving the physical and electrical characteristics of the interconnect structure have.

The metal layer 84 may be polished using a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process. According to the chemical mechanical polishing, the thickness of the metal layer 84 can be adjusted. Accordingly, the thickness of the metal layer 84 can have a precise value.

The predetermined thickness of the metal layer 84 may refer to the thickness values of the contactors 110 and 120.

10 (f), the step of forming the contactors 110 and 120 may include the step of removing the photoresist layer 83 and the substrate 81. Thus, only the metal layer 84 can be left, and the remaining metal layer 84 can be the contactors 110 and 120.

In the step of removing the photoresist layer 83 and the substrate 81, a plurality of contactors 110 and 120 formed on the substrate 81 and a plurality of contactors 110 and 120 are formed in a bridge shape As shown in FIG. In this case, the step of removing the photoresist layer 83 and the substrate 81 may separately separate the plurality of contactors 110, 120 connected to each other in the form of a bridge.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 11, a method of manufacturing a laminate according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The laminate manufacturing method may include a step of preparing the substrate 91 as shown in Fig. 11 (a).

11 (b), a plurality of holes of a shape corresponding to the plurality of interconnect structures 100 are formed on the substrate to form a photoresist layer 92 patterned with a plurality of holes .

In addition, the laminate manufacturing method may include the step of forming the hole 95 based on the photoresist layer 92, as shown in Fig. 11 (c).

Also, the laminate manufacturing method may include the step of forming the insulating thin film 93 as shown in Fig. 11 (d).

In the step of forming the insulating thin film 93, the insulating thin film 93 may be formed using thermal oxidation and LPCVD process, and further, the thermally oxidizing and spin coating processes may be performed. Illustratively, the insulating thin film 93 may be a silicon oxide film or a nitride film.

It will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the foregoing description of the embodiments is for illustrative purposes and that those skilled in the art can easily modify the invention without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. It is therefore to be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive. For example, each component described as a single entity may be distributed and implemented, and components described as being distributed may also be implemented in a combined form.

The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the detailed description, and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents should be construed as being included within the scope of the present invention.
