Abstract

To reduce the size of a device, and to appropriately attach a test head to prober body, when measuring the electrical characteristics of an inspection target body by bringing a probe into electric contact with the electrode pad of the inspection target body. The test head is held by a holding body and is rotated from a withdrawn position, away from the top plate of the prober body to the position of a horizontal posture, then the test head is delivered to an elevating/lowering support mechanism provided in the prober body, the test head is lowered by the elevating/lowering support mechanism, and the test head is mounted on the prober body. Since the test head does not interfere with the member of the prober body, while the test head is being rotated or lowered, the test head can be surely mounted on the prober body, thereby the hinge mechanism of the test head can be loaded on the upper surface of the prober body; and thus the device can be reduced in size.

The above bit is -4-200935535. Therefore, because the rotation radius of the test head is relatively long, the movement track of the front end of the test head near the top of the probe card can be described as In the vertical direction, however, 'the larger the diameter of the wafer' requires the narrowing of the installation space of the device, so it is advantageous to mount the hinge mechanism on the device body. However, this layout, Since the distance between the hinge mechanism and the test head is short, and the upper surface of the probe card is lower than the rotation axis of the hinge mechanism, as shown in Fig. 8 φ, since the rotation radius of the test head 100 becomes short, the probe card 101 In the vicinity of the upper surface, the amount of movement in the horizontal direction of the movement trajectory of the front end portion of the test head 100 becomes larger. On the other hand, the probe card 101 is fixed to the lower side of the circular opening portion above the apparatus body 102, and is located below the device. The position above the main body 102. Therefore, the front end of the test head 100 enters the opening portion and contacts the probe card 101. However, when the test head 100 is rotated by the hinge mechanism 103, the opening portion is opened. Among them, when the front end of the test head 1 在 moves in the horizontal direction, it may interfere with the reinforcing member of the probe card 101 or the peripheral portion of the opening. The hinge mechanism 103 has a lifting mechanism other than the rotating mechanism. Even if the test head 1 〇〇 is rotated to the horizontal position, it is 'reduced again' because the test head i 00 is supported by the rotating arm 104 on one side, and the weight of the test head 100 causes the deformation of the rotating arm 104' There may be interference with the reinforcing member or the like, and the structure of the device may be complicated and the cost may increase. The technique described in Patent Document 1 is performed by vertically lifting the test head on the apparatus body and performing 90 rotation. The technique of rotating the head to make contact between the test head and the probe card, and the replacement of the performance board. However -5-200935535 and 'in order to replace the perf0rmance board installed on the test head' Using a ladder to work at a high place' is difficult to maintain. Further, the technique described in Patent Document 2 is a technique for finely adjusting the position and inclination of the test head by the support mechanism after the test head is rotated to be placed at a predetermined position. However, the above problem cannot be solved.

[Embodiment] A probe device of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 3 . The detecting device includes the above-mentioned test head for inspecting the main body of the apparatus; and the detecting probe device which is inspected to be guided to the test to perform the leaving inspection position for the test head to be mounted on the device surface and the measuring portion -8 - 200935535 The body 1 1. The test head 12 and the loading unit 13 are. The prober body 11 includes a housing 20 that constitutes an exterior portion. In the housing 20, as shown in FIG. 2, a mounting table 21 for placing a wafer W on a surface of a substrate to be inspected on which a plurality of inspected wafers are mounted is disposed; and the mounting table 21 is placed in the X a moving mechanism 22 that moves in the Y and Z directions and rotates around the vertical axis. In the figure, 23 is an X-direction moving part, 24 is a Y-direction moving part, and 25 is a Z-direction moving part. Further, in the Z-direction moving portion 25, the illustration is omitted, and a camera for photographing the probe 26 to be described later is disposed. The circular opening portion 27 is formed in the ceiling 35 of the casing 20, and the insertion ring 28 is fixed to the periphery thereof by fitting of the flange portion 29 of the insertion ring 28. The lower edge of the insertion ring 28 has a ring-shaped engaging face portion 30 which protrudes horizontally on the inner side. Next, the probe card φ 31 is fixed to the ceiling 35 of the casing 20 by the engagement of the flange of the upper portion of the retaining ring 32 of the probe card 31 with the aforementioned locking surface portion 30 of the insertion ring 28. Therefore, the upper surface of the probe card 31 is located at a height level of, for example, 3.9 cm lower than the ceiling 35. A plurality of probe pins 26, for example, probes extending obliquely with respect to the wafer W are formed on the lower side of the probe card 31. In addition, the probe can also be a vertical needle or a bump. On the upper surface of the probe card 31, a reinforcing material 33 having an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the probe card 31 is disposed in a manner surrounding the electrode arrangement area and concentric with the probe card 31. The reinforcing material 3 3 is for suppressing deformation of the probe card 31. The lower side of the ceiling 35 is provided with a camera that can move freely in the horizontal direction -9 - 200935535 to capture the surface of the wafer W, and is attached to the z-direction movement described above. The camera obtains the coordinate position of the stylus 26 of the wafer to be inspected on the wafer W. As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3, in the ceiling 35 (described in the left-right direction in the X direction), for the purpose of the test head 12, for example, H is raised before and after the lifter 40. The lifting body 40 can be lifted and lowered by, for example, a gas cylinder (the driving mechanism is not used in the drawing, and the example is a lifting and lowering support mechanism by the lifting body 40. Further, on the rear edge side of the ceiling 35, a hinge mechanism with a ^ is provided 42. The moving portion for rotating the rotating shaft 41 is a rotating arm 43 having a short rotating shaft extending from the hinge mechanism 42 to the right side. In this example, the twisting mechanism portion constitutes a turning driving portion, which will be described later. The test head 12 is a horizontal position parallel to the horizontal plane above the probe 0, and is rotated behind the probe device, for example, for maintenance of the test head 12, etc. The test head of the retracted position 12, for example, a state in which the lower side of the pole is upward. The rotation shaft 41 is rotated, for example, at a position 22.5 cm higher than the upper surface of the ceiling 35 at the front end of the rotating arm 43, as shown in Fig. 3, left and right apart toward the front. The plane of the extended wrist portions 44, 44 is the rear portion of the holding body 45. The test head is placed between the wrist portions 44, 44 in a manner of "slightly square". ; 25 of the electrode pad is not connected with the right edge and the left edge The down-test is equipped with three up-and-down lifts and a gas cylinder, and the drive shaft 41 (not shown) is mounted, and 42 is provided with an electric rotation center between the avoidance position of the body 11 of the drive needle card 31. It is assumed that the gap 52 formed by the longitudinal direction of the 10-200935535 which is formed by the left and right clips I1 of the wrist portion 44 is connected and held. Further, the wrist portion 44' of Fig. 1 is shown in a manner to facilitate the inspection of the elevating body 40 as described above. On the side of the inner side of the left and right wrist portions 44 (the side of the test head 2), two sets of, for example, two guide seats 51 arranged side by side with respect to the longitudinal direction of the wrist portion 44 are disposed, and On the one hand, on both sides of the test head 12 in a manner corresponding to the positions of the guides 51 of the two groups, φ is disposed at the upper end of the guide seat 51 from the upper side, and is formed to be longer than the lower side. Two vertical guides 63 that are slidably fitted to the lower end of the guide seat 51 with respect to the aforementioned guide seat 51. Therefore, the test head 12 is guided by the guide seats 51 of the two arms 44 by the sliding action of the guides 51 and the vertical guides 63, and is lifted and lowered by the lifter 40 described above. The guides 51 and the vertical guides 63 constitute a guiding mechanism. In the upper portion of the center of the wrist portions 44 and 44 in the longitudinal direction, the lock pin advancing and retracting portion 47a for retracting the lock pin 47b along the arm portion 44 is disposed in parallel in the front and rear (Y direction), and both ends are formed. The cross-sectional shape that protrudes toward the test head 12 is a lock pin supporting portion 49 of a 3-shaped groove portion. The lock pin supporting portion 49 has a function of supporting the locking pin 47b through the through holes 48 formed at the both end portions. Next, on the side surface of the test head 12, a vertically long stopper portion 61 is disposed so as to be fitted into a groove portion surrounded by the U-shaped portion of the lock pin support portion 49, and the stopper portion 61 corresponds to the stopper portion 61. Two upper and lower locking pins are formed at an upper position for receiving and receiving the test head 12 between the holding body 45 and the lifting body 40, and a height position at which the test head 12 is mounted on the probe card 31. Through hole 62 of 47b -11 - 200935535. Therefore, the through-holes 62 of the locking pin support portion 49 are in a state in which the through-holes 62 of the stoppers 61 are overlapped, and the pin 47b is inserted into the through-holes 48 and 62 to be in a locked state, and the test head 12 is also held. In the state of the holding body 45, in addition, when the pin 47b is withdrawn from the stopper portion 61 and is an example of a state in which the holding is released, the locking pin advancing and retracting portion 47a, the locking pin 47b, the lock supporting portion 49, and the blocking portion are obtained by the locking pin. The stopper 61 constitutes a holding/releasing means 46. ^ On the lower side of the test head 12, an intermediate ring 64 is provided for the purpose of making electrical contact between the test head 12 pin card 31, the outer ring outer diameter being slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the probe card 31, and The inner diameter is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the material 33. Further, the height of the intermediate ring 64 is set to a height from the upper surface of the probe card 31 to the upper surface of the ceiling 35. Therefore, when the intermediate ring 64 is lowered and placed on the probe card 31, the test head 12 does not hit the ceiling 35. In addition, the distance between the lower end surface of the test head 12 rising intermediate ring 64 and the upper surface of the probe card 31 is set to be 3.4 cm, and the rotation of the test head 12 by the aforementioned rotating arm 43 is used, for example, even because of the test head 12 The weight of the rotating arm 43 is changed, and it does not interfere with the reinforcing material 3 3 or the like, and has a lower side corresponding to both sides of the wrist portion 44 side of the test head 12, corresponding to each of the lifting bodies 40. Positioned, the back surface is fixed to the lower end surface of the test head 12' so that the L-shaped seat member 6 5 ' extending horizontally from the test head 12 is disposed three. Therefore, the test head 12 is supported by the lifter 40 by the seat member 65 and the seat member 65. When the lifter 40 is raised in this state, the test head 12 can be raised and lowered. The test head 12' is locked by the cable and the lock, i.e., locked. The fixed pin and the probe 64 are reinforced into a large size. In the case of the measurement time, the shape is i°. The three configuration intervals are transmitted by the test machine (all not shown) from the lift link -12-200935535, and are transmitted from the test machine. Check the electrical signal of Crystal® w. The right side of the probe main body 11 is connected to the deep side of the casing 71 of the loading portion 13', and is partitioned into an upper region 73 and a lower region 74 by the partition wall 72. In the upper region 73, a mounting table 75 for mounting, for example, a sealed transfer container F0UP2 capable of accommodating 25 wafers W is disposed. The frame 71 on the right side of the FOUP 2 forms a wide mouth portion 76', and the FOUP 2 is transferred between the transfer means (not shown) and the mounting table 75 via the φ opening portion 76. In the proximal region of the frame 71, a transfer arm 77 for rotating, lifting, and telescopic is disposed between the FOUP 2 of the upper region 73 and the mounting table 21 of the prober body 11 via the prober. The opening 78 between the main body 11 and the loading unit 13 performs the transfer of the wafer W. As shown in Fig. 3, the detection device is provided with a control unit 5 composed of, for example, a computer. The control unit 5 includes a data storage unit including a program storage unit, a memory unit, and a CPU. The program stored in the program storage unit includes a step group for unloading the test head 1 2 on the ceiling 35, and a step group for performing the transfer and alignment of the wafer W. Further, for example, the memory includes an area in which the moving step of the moving mechanism 22 or the processing parameter of the moving amount or the like is performed, and when the CPU executes each command of the program, the processing parameter is read, and the corresponding parameter is controlled. The signal is transmitted to various parts of the detecting device. The program (including the input operation of the processing parameters and the display related program) is stored in a computer memory medium such as a floppy disk, a compact disk, an MO (optical disk), or a hard disk. The memory unit 6-13-200935535 is attached to the control unit 5. Next, the detection method of the present invention will be described. First, as shown in Fig. 4(a), the test head 12 set to the retracted position at the horizontal position above the ceiling 35 and fixed to the holder 45 by the holding/releasing mechanism 46 is rotated downward. At this time, as described above, since the center of rotation of the rotating shaft 41 is set higher than the position above the ceiling 35, the trajectory depicted by the intermediate ring 64 and the underside of the test head 12 does not match the reinforcing material 33 0 and the insertion ring 28 . Wait for interference. Next, the test head 12 is stopped at the horizontal position of the 4th (b)th map. Next, the elevating body 40 is raised to contact the lower surface of the seat member 65 (Fig. 1 (c)). Next, as shown in Fig. 5(a), the lock pin 47b is pulled out from the lock pin supporting portion 49, the holding of the test head 12 is released, and the test head 12 is delivered from the holding portion 45 to the lifter 40, and the test head 12 is The load is all applied to the lifting body 40. Therefore, the elevating body 40 is lowered (Fig. 5(b)), the vertical guide 63 of the test head 12 is guided by the guide seat 51 Q of the holding body 45, and the elevating body 40 is lowered until the intermediate ring The lower side of 64 contacts the position of the upper side of the probe card 31. Next, the lock pin 47b is inserted into the lock pin support portion 49 (Fig. 5(c)), and the test head 12 is again brought into a holding state. The test head 12 is held again to prevent the full load of the test head 12 from being applied to the probe card 31 in order to prevent malfunction of the air cylinder of the elevating body 40, for example. Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 2, in which the fourth and fifth figures are redrawn, and the sixth (a) figure corresponds to the fifth (a) figure, and the sixth (b) figure corresponds to the figure. In Figure 5(b). Thereafter, for example, FOUP 2 in which 25 pieces of crystal -14 - 200935535 circle W are accommodated is placed on the mounting table 75 by a conveying means (not shown). Next, one wafer w is taken out from F〇 UP2 by the transfer arm 77 and placed on the mounting table 21 in the probe main body u. Next, as described above, the probe pin 26 is aligned with the wafer w so that the probe pin 26 contacts the electrode pad of the wafer to be inspected formed on the wafer w (Fig. 6(c)), from the test head 12, through the intermediate ring 64, the probe card 31, and the probe needle 26, a specific electrical signal is supplied to the electrode pad, and electrical characteristics are checked. Thereafter, the probe pin 26 φ is brought into contact with the electrode pad on the wafer w to inspect each wafer of the wafer W. Furthermore, it is also possible to have the probe needle 26 integrally contact the entire electrode pads of the wafers of the wafer W. After the inspection is completed, the wafer W is moved back to the FOUP 2 by the transfer arm 77. Next, for example, when the intermediate ring 64 is replaced between batches of the wafer W, or when the test head 12 is repaired, as shown in Fig. 7, the test head 12 is rotated from the horizontal position above the ceiling 35. Move to the maintenance position of the probe unit body 例如, for example, the retracted position on the rear side of the 80°. In addition, in order to simplify the illustration, in FIGS. 4 to 7, the partial illustration is omitted. Further, in FIGS. 4(b) and (c), 5(a) and 6(a), in order to easily view the figure, the lower position of the intermediate ring 64 is depicted as being higher than the upper surface of the ceiling 35. However, in fact, as described above, the lower position of the intermediate ring 64 is 5 mm lower than the upper position of the ceiling 35. According to the above embodiment, the probe 26 is electrically contacted with the electrode pad of the wafer W to perform wafer processing. When the electrical characteristics of the W are detected, the test head 12 is held from the holder 45 to the position where the holding head 45 holds the test head 12 and rotates from the retracted position away from the ceiling 35 to the position of the horizontal posture -15-200935535. The lifting body 40 of the prober body 11 is lowered, so that even if the radius of rotation of the test head 12 is small, the test head 12 and the member of the probe body body side are, for example, the reinforcing material 33 and the insertion ring 28 The interference does not occur, but the test head 12 is surely attached to the prober body u. In addition, even if the rotating shaft 41 of the test head 12 is higher than the upper surface of the probe card 31, the test head 12 can be surely brought into electrical contact with the probe card 31, so that the twisted φ chain mechanism 42 can be loaded on the prober. The body 11 realizes miniaturization of the device. Further, since the hinge mechanism 42 of the rotation mechanism of the test head 12 is disposed separately from the elevation mechanism lifting body 40, the configuration of the apparatus can be simplified and the cost can be reduced. In addition, the test head 12 is supported on one side by the rotating shaft 41, but the probe card 31 is guided by the horizontally supported lifting body 40' and the vertical guide 63 is guided to the lower side by the guiding seat 51. The contact with the intermediate ring 64 makes it possible to position the test head 12 with high precision. Therefore, for example, even if the outer diameter of the reinforcing material 3 3 of the above φ is large and the gap of the intermediate ring 64 is small, interference between the reinforcing material 3 3 and the intermediate ring 64 or the test head 12 can be suppressed.
