Abstract

The present invention provides mechanism and method for automatic cleaning a test interface of an IC test socket. The automatic cleaning mechanism, which is adapted for use with an IC tester system, includes a cleaning member capture device movably disposed above the IC test socket, and a cleaning member removably provided on the bottom of the capture device. The cleaning member has a shape matching with that of an IC receiving portion of the IC test socket. By moving the capture device relative to the IC test socket, automatic cleaning can be achieved with the cleaning member on the bottom of the capture device. The cleaning member is composed of a body and a cleaning sheet. By means of the present automatic cleaning method, the test interface of the IC test socket can be automatically, timely and efficiently cleaned without requiring removal of the test socket from the production line. The down time of the production line can be shortened, and the service life of the test interface also can be prolonged.

The cleaning sheet 22 can be said from the market, such as NHK Japan, the precision cleaning sheet manufactured by 3M Company of the United States. Figure 4 and Figure 5 show the automatic cleaning of the present invention. The machine_the schematic diagram of the action mode of the probe 5 in the wall socket 3. The cleaning operation process is in order: the cleaning component 2 is moved from the storage buffer to the test machine _, and the The cleaning element 2 is sucked and moved into the socket 3 in the test area, and the cleaning action of the probe 5 in the test socket 3 is cleaned by the cleaning of the bottom surface of the cleaning element 2. Before the cleaning piece a is in contact with the probe $, the clamping hole ls sighed on the body 11 of the holding device 1 is engaged with the positioning pin μ on the test base*, thereby achieving the squatting action in the pre-sighing After the number of times is completed, the clamping device 2 puts the cleaning element 2 into the playback buffer for the next use or direct discard. The clamping device i of the automatic cleaning mechanism of the present invention is capable of sucking and cleaning the cleaning element. The surface of the cleaning device 200841943 is opposite to the probe 5 disposed in the test socket 3 by a predetermined number of times to move vertically and laterally with her to clean the needle tip. Hey. The preset vertical and dynamic movement of the cleaning element holding device i can be performed by the operator by means of the cleaning time of the invention, or by setting the machine to perform m test times. After the cleaning is performed automatically, or the machine is set to automatically perform cleaning after the wafer test yield drops by a certain percentage point. The detail of Fig. 6 shows a schematic view of the operation of the cleaning piece 22 on the bottom surface of the cleaning member 2 to grind the probe end 51 of the probe 5. As shown by the arrow in Fig. 6, the cleaning sheet 22 can be driven by the holding device i for a predetermined number of times to be rubbed with the bottom surface of the surface of the surface of the surface of the surface of the wire 222. Effect of the swarf 1 The vertical movement of the cleaning sheet 22 can grind the surface of the needle A 51, and its slight transverse movement can smooth the tip & Figure 7 is a flow chart of the automatic cleaning method of the test interface of the IC 戦 socket of the present invention, which comprises the following steps: (1) providing - cleaning element holding device 5 is disposed above the IC cradle, the holding device has One facing the bottom surface of the 1C test socket; (2) providing a cleaning element having a shape that matches the shape of the IC test socket _ the accommodating portion of the hood; (3) the cleaning element is detachably _ The bottom surface; and (4) the emperor device IC outlet socket decoration, thereby the remaining _ the bottom of the bead 7G pieces can reach the Lin IC plug-in red interface of the self-Linjie function. The main step of providing a cleaning component comprises providing a body and a cleaning sheet, and attaching the same to the body L. The shape of the body of the cleaning component is the same as the shape of the 1C to be tested, and the simulation is performed. Integrated circuit. The cleaning element can be stored in a storage buffer next to the test area of the ic tester system 12 200841943. The clamping device is vertically and laterally movable relative to the test socket. The lost device is a suction device that holds the cleaning element by vacuum suction. In the preferred embodiment of the vehicle, the holding device is a wafer holding device on a wafer test sorter. The step of providing a clamping device includes providing a body and providing a nozzle in the body. The body is provided with a positioning hole for combining with the positioning lining of the test pedestal for accommodating the IC socket. As described above, the automatic cleaning mechanism and the cleaning method provided by the present invention can achieve the test interface of the test socket. Automatic, timely and efficient cleaning. The automatic cleaning mechanism is simple in structure and simple in operation, and the cleaning component clamping device i is a part of the classification machine of the existing IC test I system. The original system is only used to hold the IC to be tested, and in the present invention, it can be used in the present invention. By clamping a cleaning component, the purpose of the online automatic cleaning IC test interface is achieved by the material properties and frictional force of the cleaning sheet on the cleaning component, so the invention makes full use of the existing resources, is easy to implement, and is very convenient. I can use the online automatic cleaning method of the present invention to remove the π political action when the job outlet is not in the production line, and can reduce the weight of the raw silk, and also extend the use of the aging phase to drive the y phase.
