Description
本發明是有關於一種形成探針銷之裝置及方法,更詳細而言,有關於一種研磨金屬導線的尖端部而形成探針銷之裝置及方法。 The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for forming a probe pin, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for forming a probe pin by grinding a tip end portion of a metal wire.
探針卡普遍使用於包括液晶顯示器(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD)、電漿顯示幕(Plasma Display Panel,PDP)的平面顯示器或形成在晶圓上的半導體元件的性能檢查。探針卡電連接執行於檢查對象的檢查時所需要的功能的檢查裝置(Probe Station)與檢查對象,且包括直接接觸檢查對象的探針銷(Probe Pin)的集合。單純的桿(bar)形態的直線形探針銷因形狀單純而容易管理精密度,且一方面製作時製品之再現性良好,一方面可利用光蝕刻製程、光刻法製程或壓模等而容易製作,因此使用範圍日益擴大。 The probe card is commonly used for performance inspection of a flat panel display including a liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display panel (PDP), or a semiconductor element formed on a wafer. The probe card electrically connects the inspection device (Probe Station) that performs the functions required for the inspection of the inspection object with the inspection object, and includes a collection of probe pins that directly contact the inspection object. The straight linear probe pin in the form of a simple bar has a simple shape and is easy to manage precision, and on the one hand, the reproducibility of the product is good, and on the one hand, a photolithography process, a photolithography process, a stamper, or the like can be used. Easy to make, so the scope of use is expanding.
探針銷製造成邊端尖端細的(tapering)形狀。探針銷藉由將金屬導線由一定長度切斷並利用蝕刻或機械加工以越向尖端的部分越細微並尖利的方式製造而完成。 The probe pin is manufactured in a taper shape at the tip end. The probe pin is completed by cutting the metal wire from a certain length and using etching or machining to make the portion of the tip more subtle and sharp.
先前機械加工方法使用先使金屬導線的邊端傾斜地接觸至旋轉的圓板形砂輪的表面或外周面後,再使金屬導線旋轉而進行加工的方法。然而,隨著半導體晶片的墊子之間的距離逐漸變短,探針銷的厚度亦變細,因此存在難以利用先前機械加工方法的問題。 The prior machining method uses a method in which the side end of the metal wire is obliquely contacted to the surface or the outer peripheral surface of the rotating disk-shaped grinding wheel, and then the metal wire is rotated to be processed. However, as the distance between the mats of the semiconductor wafer is gradually shortened, the thickness of the probe pin is also thinned, so there is a problem that it is difficult to utilize the prior machining method.

圖3是圖1所示的導線座20的一部分的剖面圖。 3 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of the lead frame 20 shown in FIG. 1.
導線座20發揮固定於形成探針銷時所使用的導線W的作用。於形成探針銷時所使用的導線之直徑可為約20μm至500μm。導線具有特定的彈性,以免加壓時被折斷,且由具有電導性的材質構成。例如,可由鎢、錸鎢、鉑、銀或鈀合金等的金屬素材所製作。 The lead frame 20 functions to be fixed to the wire W used when forming the probe pin. The diameter of the wire used in forming the probe pin may be from about 20 μm to 500 μm. The wire has a specific elasticity to prevent it from being broken when pressurized, and is made of an electrically conductive material. For example, it can be made of a metal material such as tungsten, tantalum tungsten, platinum, silver or a palladium alloy.
導線座20的主體27大體上為中空的圓柱形狀。於導線座20之中空21下端插入圓筒形的導引插芯(Ferrule),其具備與導線之直徑相比,大略大10μm左右的貫通孔221(參照圖4),且於圓筒形的導引插芯22的下端配置支撐插芯23。 The body 27 of the leadframe 20 is generally hollow cylindrical in shape. A cylindrical guide ferrule is inserted into the lower end of the hollow portion 21 of the lead frame 20, and has a through hole 221 (refer to FIG. 4) which is slightly larger than the diameter of the wire and has a diameter of about 10 μm (see FIG. 4). The lower end of the guide ferrule 22 is provided with a support ferrule 23.
圖4是圖3所示的導引插芯22與支撐插芯23的立體圖。如圖4所示的,支撐插芯23包括鄰接導引插芯22的下端的半圓筒形的支撐部231與圓筒形的導引部232。支撐部231與導引部232成為一體。於導引部232中形成 貫通孔234。支撐插芯23的支撐部231的剖面的形態是將圓以直徑為基準分割成偏向一邊的形態,且直線部構成支撐面236。曲線部235鄰接於導線座20之內面。導引插芯22與支撐插芯23可由氧化鋁或氧化鋯製作。支撐插芯23能夠以切斷導引插芯22的一部分而去除的方式製作。 4 is a perspective view of the guide ferrule 22 and the support ferrule 23 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the support ferrule 23 includes a semi-cylindrical support portion 231 adjacent to the lower end of the guide ferrule 22 and a cylindrical guide portion 232. The support portion 231 is integrated with the guide portion 232. Formed in the guiding portion 232 Through hole 234. The cross section of the support portion 231 that supports the ferrule 23 is a form in which the circle is divided into one side with respect to the diameter, and the straight portion constitutes the support surface 236. The curved portion 235 is adjacent to the inner face of the lead frame 20. The lead ferrule 22 and the support ferrule 23 may be made of alumina or zirconia. The support ferrule 23 can be manufactured in such a manner as to cut off a part of the guide ferrule 22.
再次參照圖3,於導線座20的邊端的一邊設置夾桿24,其具備突出面241用以將導線壓於支撐插芯23的支撐部231的支撐面236。夾桿24是其中心部242樞設於導線座20,且能夠以中心部242為支點而執行上下運動。於夾桿24的下端形成突出面241,且於上端形成向中空21的中心突出的鎖定爪243。 Referring again to FIG. 3, a clamping lever 24 is provided on one side of the side end of the lead frame 20, and is provided with a protruding surface 241 for pressing the lead wire against the supporting surface 236 of the supporting portion 231 of the supporting ferrule 23. The clamp lever 24 has its center portion 242 pivoted to the lead frame 20, and can perform vertical movement with the center portion 242 as a fulcrum. A protruding surface 241 is formed at a lower end of the clamp bar 24, and a locking claw 243 that protrudes toward the center of the hollow 21 is formed at the upper end.
並且,於導線座20的中空21設置軸25。於軸25形成有用以於整個長度方向或一部分接受導線的貫通孔251。軸25的下端252以鎖定於夾桿24的上端的鎖定爪243的方式向軸25的外側突出。 Further, a shaft 25 is provided in the hollow 21 of the lead frame 20. A through hole 251 for receiving a wire for the entire length direction or a part of the shaft 25 is formed in the shaft 25. The lower end 252 of the shaft 25 protrudes toward the outside of the shaft 25 in such a manner as to lock the locking claw 243 at the upper end of the clamp bar 24.
另外,於軸25的上端253與導線座20的主體27的上端271之間設置作為第一彈性提供部26的螺旋彈簧,其以向軸25上升的方向施加彈性力的方式設置。並且,於夾桿24的中心部242與夾桿24的上端之間設置作為第二彈性提供部28的螺旋彈簧,其對夾桿24施加彈性力,以便於夾桿24的下端的突出面241自支撐插芯23的支撐部231的支撐面236遠離,且夾桿24的上端向接近導線座20的中心部的方向使夾桿24上下移動。該螺旋彈簧以圍繞夾桿24的中心部242與上端之間及導線座20的外周面的方式設置。此時,由於第一彈性提供部26的彈性力大於第二彈性提供部28的彈性力,因此於不被施加外力的情形時,夾桿24的突出面241始終將導線壓向支撐插芯23的支撐部231而固定。並且,於軸25藉由外力而朝向下方向被壓的情 形時,通過軸25解除由第一彈性提供部26對夾桿24施加的彈性力,且藉由第二彈性提供部28的彈性力而夾桿24的突出面向自支撐插芯23的支撐部231的支撐面236遠離的方向移動。因此,可自導線座20分離出導線。 Further, a coil spring as the first elastic supply portion 26 is provided between the upper end 253 of the shaft 25 and the upper end 271 of the main body 27 of the lead frame 20, and is provided to apply an elastic force in a direction in which the shaft 25 is raised. Further, a coil spring as a second elastic supply portion 28 is provided between the center portion 242 of the clamp lever 24 and the upper end of the clamp lever 24, which applies an elastic force to the clamp lever 24 to facilitate the projecting surface 241 of the lower end of the clamp lever 24. The support surface 236 of the support portion 231 of the self-supporting ferrule 23 is distant, and the upper end of the clamp rod 24 moves the clamp rod 24 up and down in a direction approaching the center portion of the lead frame 20. The coil spring is disposed to surround the center portion 242 of the clamp bar 24 and the upper end and the outer peripheral surface of the wire holder 20. At this time, since the elastic force of the first elastic providing portion 26 is greater than the elastic force of the second elastic providing portion 28, the protruding surface 241 of the clamping lever 24 always presses the wire against the supporting ferrule 23 when no external force is applied. The support portion 231 is fixed. And, the shaft 25 is pressed in the downward direction by an external force. In the case of the shape, the elastic force applied to the clamp bar 24 by the first elastic supply portion 26 is released by the shaft 25, and the protrusion of the clamp bar 24 faces the support portion of the self-supporting ferrule 23 by the elastic force of the second elastic supply portion 28. The support surface 236 of the 231 moves away from the direction. Therefore, the wires can be separated from the lead frame 20.
於導線座20供應加工前的導線,或於自導線座20分離加工完成的導線時,藉由外力而朝向下方向壓軸25。於支撐構造60或導線座20中,設置螺線管致動器(未圖示)以提供用以壓軸25的外力。 The wire before the processing is supplied to the wire holder 20, or when the processed wire is separated from the wire holder 20, the shaft 25 is pressed in the downward direction by an external force. In the support structure 60 or the wire holder 20, a solenoid actuator (not shown) is provided to provide an external force for pressing the shaft 25.
參照圖1,導線座20藉由設置至支撐構造60的導線座驅動部30而驅動。 Referring to FIG. 1, the lead frame 20 is driven by a lead frame driving portion 30 provided to the support structure 60.
導線座驅動部30使導線座20沿支撐構造60的Z軸直線移動,且將Z軸當作旋轉軸而旋轉。 The lead frame driving portion 30 linearly moves the lead frame 20 along the Z axis of the support structure 60, and rotates the Z axis as a rotating axis.
導線座驅動部30包括升降裝置,其以能夠使導線座20沿Z軸方向升降的方式構成。升降裝置能夠以各種形態構成。例如,升降裝置可為Z軸線性致動器。Z軸線性致動器能夠以伺服馬達(Servo Motor)、導螺桿(Lead Screw)、滚珠螺母(Ball Nut)、載運器(Carriage)與直線滑動導軌(LM guide)構成。 The lead frame driving portion 30 includes a lifting device configured to be able to elevate and lower the lead frame 20 in the Z-axis direction. The lifting device can be constructed in various forms. For example, the lifting device can be a Z-axis linear actuator. The Z-axis actuator can be constituted by a servo motor (Servo Motor), a lead screw, a ball nut (Ball Nut), a carrier (Carriage), and a linear guide rail (LM guide).
並且,導線座驅動部30包括Z軸旋轉裝置,其使導線座20將Z軸當作旋轉軸旋轉。Z軸旋轉裝置並列結合至導線座20,且可包括馬達,具備與Z軸平行的驅動軸;滑輪,具有與馬達的驅動軸平行的旋轉軸;以及皮帶,設置於驅動軸與滑輪。導線座20於導線座20的上端部的側面密接至藉由馬達的旋轉而驅動的皮帶時旋轉。當然,可藉由於導線座20的上端部設置滑輪並於驅動軸與導線座20的滑輪設置皮帶而旋轉導線座20。 Further, the lead frame driving portion 30 includes a Z-axis rotating device that causes the lead frame 20 to rotate the Z-axis as a rotating shaft. The Z-axis rotating device is coupled in parallel to the wire holder 20, and may include a motor having a driving shaft parallel to the Z-axis; a pulley having a rotating shaft parallel to the driving shaft of the motor; and a belt disposed on the driving shaft and the pulley. The lead frame 20 is rotated when the side surface of the upper end portion of the lead frame 20 is in close contact with the belt driven by the rotation of the motor. Of course, the lead frame 20 can be rotated by providing a pulley at the upper end portion of the lead frame 20 and a belt on the pulley of the drive shaft and the lead frame 20.
控制器(未圖示)以導線一面旋轉一面向一對砂輪11a、11b之間下降的方式控制導線座20。並且,隨著導線的下降,一對砂輪11a、11b之間的間隔逐漸遠離的方式控制砂輪移送裝置13a、13b。重要的是以一對砂輪11a、11b由相同方向旋轉並研磨導線的尖端部的方式控制。於一對砂輪11a、11b以彼此不同方向旋轉的情形時,會引起如下的問題。當左邊的砂輪11a以順時針方向旋轉且右邊的砂輪11b以逆時針方向旋轉的情形時,金屬導線會脫落。相反地,當左邊的砂輪11a以逆時針方向旋轉且右邊的砂輪11b以順時針方向旋轉的情形時,金屬導線的邊緣部分會磨損,因此存在無法得到所期望的形狀的問題。 The controller (not shown) controls the lead frame 20 in such a manner that one side of the wire rotates and faces down between the pair of grinding wheels 11a, 11b. Further, as the wire is lowered, the grinding wheel transfer devices 13a, 13b are controlled such that the interval between the pair of grinding wheels 11a, 11b is gradually separated. What is important is that the pair of grinding wheels 11a, 11b are rotated in the same direction and the tip end portion of the wire is polished. When the pair of grinding wheels 11a, 11b are rotated in different directions from each other, the following problems are caused. When the left grinding wheel 11a rotates in the clockwise direction and the right grinding wheel 11b rotates in the counterclockwise direction, the metal wire may come off. Conversely, when the left grinding wheel 11a rotates in the counterclockwise direction and the right grinding wheel 11b rotates in the clockwise direction, the edge portion of the metal wire is worn, so there is a problem that a desired shape cannot be obtained.
並且,控制器以使一對砂輪11a、11b的旋轉速度與導線座20的旋轉速度的比為1:1至15:1的方式控制導線座20與一對砂輪11a、11b。例如,導線座20以約100rpm左右旋轉的情形時,砂輪11a、11b較佳為以約100rpm至1500rpm左右旋轉。若砂輪11a、11b的旋轉速度與導線座20的旋轉速度的比脫離該範圍,會導致研磨效率的低下。 Further, the controller controls the lead frame 20 and the pair of grinding wheels 11a, 11b such that the ratio of the rotational speed of the pair of grinding wheels 11a, 11b to the rotational speed of the lead frame 20 is 1:1 to 15:1. For example, when the lead frame 20 is rotated at about 100 rpm, the grinding wheels 11a and 11b are preferably rotated at about 100 rpm to 1500 rpm. If the ratio of the rotational speed of the grinding wheels 11a, 11b to the rotational speed of the lead frame 20 is out of this range, the polishing efficiency is lowered.
