Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a semiconductor measurement »++* pcet device for testing electrical characteristics of a semiconductor element, particularly a power semiconductor element such as a power transistor. . [Prior Art] Power semiconductor components such as power transistors, rectifier diodes, thyristor transistors, and power MOSFETs are mainly used in electric power fields such as power generation and power transmission, and are widely used in electric railways. Among the fields, automobiles, household electrical appliances, and the like, many measuring devices for testing their electrical characteristics have also been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a measuring device provided with a back electrode needle that can be moved up and down and a wafer that is supported by a wafer in which a semiconductor element is formed between the upper electrode pins. The circular support frame has a wafer support frame as a forcing terminal and a back electrode as a sensing terminal, and a Kevin contact is obtained at the front side of the semiconductor element to be tested. Further, Patent Document 2 proposes a measuring device that supports an outer edge portion of a wafer on which a semiconductor element to be tested is formed by a wafer holder and makes contact from the back surface of the wafer. The contact area of the probe is equal to the area of the back surface of the semiconductor element to be tested, and the problem of the back surface of the semiconductor element is detected. Further, in Patent Document 3, there is disclosed a test apparatus which is formed by controlling a movable hand for controlling a movable amount of a probe which contacts a semiconductor wafer from above and below, and is even thicker. For thin wafers, the probe can also be contacted with appropriate push pressure. However, in the prior art measuring device or the testing device, since the wafer is supported from the outer edge thereof via a wafer support frame or a wafer holder, etc., if it is a wafer When the thickness is thinned, the wafer itself is bent, and there is a problem that it is impossible to make a proper contact between the probe and the electrodes of the semiconductor element. Moreover, since the wafer support frame or the wafer holder is only connected to the outer edge of the wafer, it is difficult to control the temperature of the wafer through the wafer support frame or the wafer holder. Disadvantages. On the other hand, in Patent Document 4 and Patent Document 5, there are disclosed a measuring device and a testing device which respectively contact a wafer support table called a platform and a back surface of the wafer and support the crystal. Round, and even a thin wafer will not bend. In the measuring device or the testing device, the contact between the back electrode of the wafer and the probe is such that a plurality of insertion holes are formed in advance at the platform, and the probe is moved all the time during the measurement. To the underside of the insertion hole slightly below the semiconductor element to be tested, and to raise the probe at this position, the probe is brought into contact with the back electrode of the wafer (Patent Document 4), or Provided at each of the plurality of insertion holes at the platform, the contact pins are pre-inserted, and in the measurement, the contact piece is moved all the way to the contact pin located slightly below the tested semiconductor element, and at the position The contact piece is raised to push up the contact pin directly above, and is in contact with the back electrode of the wafer (Patent Document 5). Therefore, in the measuring device or the testing device of the test-6-201229535, the current is measured to flow in the thickness direction of the back electrode of the wafer, from the front side of the semiconductor element to be tested to the space between the probe and the probe. The potential difference from the contact point does not overlap with the measured enthalpy as the amount of impedance. Therefore, it is possible to perform measurement with high accuracy. However, in the measurement device and the test device disclosed in Patent Document 4 and Patent Document 5, if the test target wafer is switched to a new wafer or the same test target wafer is to be tested, the semiconductor device to be tested Switching to the next semiconductor element, it is necessary to cooperate with the probe or the contact piece for measurement to be placed under the insertion hole or under the contact pin at a position directly under the new test semiconductor element. The specific operation of moving the position is complicated 'and it is also necessary to actually move the probe or the contact piece to the moving mechanism at a specific position, and at the same time, it takes time in the movement, and therefore, the measurement efficiency is deteriorated. The problem. [PRIOR ART DOCUMENT] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei No. 2000-114325 [Patent Document 3] JP-A-2003-332395 (Patent Document 3) [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] 201229535 The present invention is a semiconductor for solving the above prior art. The problem of the measurement device and the problem of the measurement device is that it is possible to provide a test wafer having a small thickness, without being bent, and by a simple structure. A semiconductor measuring device in which the probe is reliably and easily brought into contact with the back electrode of the test wafer. [Means for Solving the Problems] The inventors of the present invention have made an effort to solve the above problems, and as a result, have found that they have been used for temporary support of test wafers from the prior art. The suction pin is relatively movable up and down with respect to the wafer chuck through the wafer chuck, and after paying attention to the matter, it is known that if the probe is inserted into the inside of the suction pin, By inserting the interpolated probe in a vertical direction relative to the wafer chuck, it is possible to use a wafer chuck having a support surface for supporting the test wafer, and also by simple The structure is such that the lower probe is easily brought into contact with the back electrode of the test wafer. In other words, the present invention solves the above problems by providing a semiconductor measuring device that is a surface of a probe and a plurality of semiconductor elements formed on a wafer. A semiconductor measuring device in which an electrode and a back surface electrode of the wafer are in contact with each other and a characteristic of the semiconductor element is characterized in that the wafer chuck is provided with a support surface for supporting a test target wafer; At least three suction pin pins are inserted through the wafer chuck in a vertical direction; and the first moving mechanism is configured to move the suction pin in a vertical direction with respect to the wafer chuck relative to the wafer chuck -8-201229535; and at least One lower probe is inserted inside the suction pin; and the second moving mechanism relatively moves the lower probe in the vertical direction with respect to the wafer chuck; and the third moving mechanism Passing the wafer chuck in the same manner as the suction pin and the lower probe, relative to the upper probe positioned above the wafer chuck Moving the lower direction and a horizontal direction; and testing means are connected to the probe system for electrical resistance at the probe and the. In the semiconductor measuring device of the present invention, as described above, at least one of the at least three suction pin pins is inserted with the lower probe, and is configured to enable the lower probe to be opposed to the wafer suction cup. The relative movement is performed in the vertical direction. Therefore, after the test target wafer is placed on the support surface of the wafer chuck by using the suction pin, the probe is lifted by inserting the probe into the suction pin. The lower probe can be brought into contact with the back electrode of the test wafer. The number of the lower probes may be one or more, but it may be two or three or more. If the number of the lower probes is two or more, it is possible to detect the presence or absence of the wafer or the lower probe and the wafer by investigating the presence or absence of conduction between the two lower probes. Whether the contact state between the back electrodes is good or not, or whether the operation of the test device is good or not, is convenient. In addition, when the diameter of the suction cup pin is large, it is also possible to insert a plurality of lower probes in one of the suction cup pins, but 'usually inside one of the suction cup pins It is ideal to insert a lower probe. Further, the chuck pin ' requires at least three in order to support the test wafer at its upper end. Although it is also possible to provide more than four suction pin pins 'but' usually only three are sufficient. When the number of the suction cup pins is three, it is preferable that the respective suction pin pins are arranged at equal intervals so that the upper ends thereof form a positive triangle shape in plan view.
