[Prior Art] In the prior art, in the past, an integrated circuit such as a QFN or QFP package with a grounding strip in the middle, the main bearing is used in the grounding piece of the integrated circuit. We use several spring probes. ) or probes of different structures do A number, the surface of the surface is more complicated, the cost is higher, and the test results have higher noise. As shown in the figure - the packaged circuit structure is surrounded by a grounding strip in the middle of the signal connector. The typical package is such a structure. The traditional packaged dragon circuit test sockets are designed as shown in Figure 2. In the area of the ground circuit between the two sides of the towel, (four) several (four) needles or various structures, the needle is used as the signal interface. The parasitic inductance effect will cause the grounding level to be affected by the signal, that is, the "Ground Bounce"; another ancient; π m lL ★ 4 The cost of using this architecture will be higher because it is suitable for high frequency signals. The price of the probe is not low, and the whole piece of grounding strip requires the use of many such probes, resulting in a cost burden. It can be seen that the above-mentioned methods of use obviously have many shortcomings, which are not a good design and need to be improved. 1264554 The new architecture of the present invention replaces this part of the signal interface with a block printed circuit board, which not only saves cost, but also tests me from the actual

[Inventive content] V The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an integrated circuit test socket grounding type structure, which is widely used in package post-products. Field circuit testing field. • Another object of the present invention is to provide an integrated circuit test socket grounding reference structure that provides a slight improvement in the grounding signal portion of the test socket to become a complete product that combines cost and signal integrity. The testable seat is between the Load Board and the integrated circuit. It is used to test the function of the integrated circuit. It is an indispensable component and body circuit test socket for the integrated circuit test. The electrical characteristics will affect the tester's fruit, especially when the integrated circuit frequency is getting higher and higher, the electrical characteristics of the inductors and capacitors generated by the test socket are more and more affected, resulting in the bottleneck of the integrated circuit test. Through the practice of the present invention, a conventional spring probe or a different _ structure probe is used as a signal interface instead of a printed circuit board to improve the body circuit test yield.

The body circuit test simplifies the cross-sectional view.

Figure 5 is a related structural diagram of the present invention, wherein we will test Figure 2 The socket is cut into two parts: the base of the socket, the grounded printed circuit board and the test probe. It is also the improved overall structure of the test socket of the present invention; this structure replaces the probe of the interface signal with a printed circuit board. The advantages are as follows: · * (1) Reduce costs. (2) The interface is changed from several points to a single surface, and the increase of the contact surface can effectively reduce the contact impedance. (3) Reducing the equivalent inductance of the ground path can greatly reduce the noise of the entire ground plane noise, that is, improve the ground bounce problem. The printed circuit board design in this improved architecture requires the use of "power integrity analysis" technology for high-speed PCB design. That is, we must first perform signal simulation before making this printed circuit board.
