Description
本發明是有關一種載具、搬運台車以及倉儲系統,特別是一種探針卡載具、搬運台車以及倉儲系統。 The invention relates to a carrier, a transport trolley and a storage system, in particular to a probe card carrier, a transport trolley and a storage system.
半導體元件在製程中或製作完成皆需要進行測試,以確認半導體元件的電路特性是否正常。測試過程中,探針卡上之多個探針與受測半導體元件之導電接點接觸,並以測試機(prober)讀取半導體元件之電子訊號來判斷半導體元件是否正常。為了測試不同的半導體元件或調校探針卡,需將探針卡從測試機上拆卸下來,並搬運至儲放空間或其它適當的作業場所。 Semiconductor components need to be tested during the manufacturing process or after production to confirm whether the circuit characteristics of the semiconductor components are normal. During the test process, multiple probes on the probe card are in contact with the conductive contacts of the semiconductor device under test, and a prober is used to read the electronic signal of the semiconductor device to determine whether the semiconductor device is normal. In order to test different semiconductor components or adjust the probe card, the probe card needs to be disassembled from the testing machine and transported to a storage space or other suitable working place.
在搬運的過程中,為了避免探針卡上之探針受到碰撞而損傷,一種現有的作法是由人工將一保護蓋(例如透明塑膠蓋)覆蓋探針再以膠帶黏貼住保護蓋,並直接以人力搬運探針卡。然而,隨著半導體元件的密集度越來越高,探針卡的重量亦隨之增加,因而增加人力搬運的困難,且容易使探針受到損傷。 In the process of handling, in order to prevent the probes on the probe card from being damaged by collision, an existing method is to manually cover the probes with a protective cover (such as a transparent plastic cover) and then stick the protective cover with adhesive tape, and directly Manually carry the probe card. However, as the density of semiconductor components becomes higher and higher, the weight of the probe card also increases, which increases the difficulty of manual handling and easily damages the probes.
另一種作法則是將探針卡放置於由上蓋以及下蓋組成的外箱後再進行搬運。此作法雖然對探針卡有較佳的保護效果,但打開外箱取出探針卡的操作方式不僅降低操作效率,且不易以機械來輔助操作。 Another method is to place the probe card in an outer box composed of an upper cover and a lower cover before carrying it. Although this method has a better protection effect on the probe card, the operation method of opening the outer box to take out the probe card not only reduces the operation efficiency, but also is not easy to use machinery to assist the operation.
有鑑於此,如何在搬運探針卡的過程中有效保護探針卡且有利於以機械來輔助操作便是目前極需努力的目標。 In view of this, how to effectively protect the probe card during the handling of the probe card and facilitate the operation with machinery is a goal that requires great efforts.
本發明提供一種探針卡載具,其用以承載一探針卡,且藉由彈性件之彈力將第一保護蓋抵靠於探針卡並覆蓋探針以保護探針,如此不需以人力來黏貼保護蓋。此外,探針卡是以支撐件以及固定件夾固於探針卡載具之基板上,因此,可藉由機械輔助解鎖固定件而取出探針卡,進而提升操作效率。本發明亦提供一種包含上述探針卡載具之探針卡搬運台車以及探針卡倉儲系統。 The present invention provides a probe card carrier, which is used to carry a probe card, and the first protective cover is pressed against the probe card by the elastic force of the elastic member and covers the probes to protect the probes.

請參照圖1以及圖2,本發明之一實施例之探針卡載具10包含一基板11、多個第一支撐件12a、多個第一固定件13a、一第一保護蓋14以及多個彈性件15。基板11需具有足夠的剛性,以承載有相當重量的探針卡。於一實施例中,基板11可包含多個定位孔17,定位孔17有助於確定探針卡載具10與搬運裝置之相對位置,以有利於機械輔助操作。多個第一支撐件12a設置於基板11上。請一併參照圖4,多個第一支撐件12a可支撐一第一探針卡20,使第一探針卡20與基板11間具有一第一間距。可以理解的是,第一支撐件12a對應於第一探針卡20之接
觸面可配合第一探針卡20之外型進行設計。舉例而言,第一支撐件12a之接觸面可為一平面或具有一段差結構。
Please refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the
接續上述說明,多個第一固定件13a設置於基板11上,以固定第一探針卡20。於一實施例中,第一固定件13a以及第一支撐件12a與第一探針卡20接觸之表面彼此相對,以夾持的方式固定第一探針卡20。舉例而言,請一併參照圖4,第一探針卡20放置於第一支撐件12a上,使第一探針卡20與基板11具有第一間距。第一固定件13a與第一支撐件12a相對,以夾持並固定第一探針卡20。可以理解的是,第一固定件13a以及第一支撐件12a與第一探針卡20接觸之表面非彼此相對亦達到固定第一探針卡20的目的。舉例而言,多個第一支撐件12a設置於基板11之短軸側,而多個第一固定件13a設置於基板11之長軸側亦可夾持固定第一探針卡20。於一實施例中,第一固定件13a包含一導引面131。在導引面131受力時,第一固定件13a可被推動至一解鎖位置,如圖3所示。依據此結構,第一固定件13a可輕易解鎖以置入第一探針卡20,且可由機械解鎖第一固定件13a以輔助搬運第一探針卡20。另需說明的是,於圖3所示之實施例中,第一固定件13a是相對於平行於基板11之一旋轉軸進行旋轉,以於一解鎖位置以及一夾持位置之間移動。可以理解的是,第一固定件13a相對於垂直於基板11之一旋轉軸進行旋轉,或者第一固定件13a平行於基板11平移亦可於一解鎖位置以及一夾持位置之間移動。
Continuing the above description, a plurality of first fixing
請一併參照圖3,第一保護蓋14可覆蓋第一探針卡20上之多個探針21以保護第一探針卡20之探針21,例如防塵或避免碰撞等。多個彈性件15設置於基板11上並與第一保護蓋14連接。多個彈性件15可推動第一保護蓋14抵靠於第一探針卡20,使第一保護蓋14完整覆蓋第一探針卡20上之探針21。於圖1以及圖2所示之實施例中,基板11對應於第一保護蓋14的位置為一鏤空區111,以減少探針卡載具的重量,因此,每一彈性件15是斜向與第一保護蓋14連接。於一實施例中,每一彈性件15以一球型關節151與第一保護蓋14連接,如此可使每一彈性
件15提供適當的作用力至第一保護蓋14,並使第一保護蓋14在升降過程維持水平。可以理解的是,基板11不具有鏤空區111的情況下,一個或多個彈性件15可設置於第一保護蓋14的下方,以使第一保護蓋14水平升降。
Please also refer to FIG. 3 , the first
於一實施例中,第一保護蓋14包含一緩衝件141,其設置於第一保護蓋14與第一探針卡20之一接觸面上。緩衝件141可降低第一保護蓋14與第一探針卡20接觸時之衝擊,以避免第一保護蓋14造成第一探針卡20表面之電路損壞。於一實施例中,緩衝件141可為一矽膠材料、橡膠材料或多孔性材料。
In one embodiment, the first
請再參照圖1,本發明之探針卡載具10更包含多個限位件16,其設置於基板11上、第一支撐件12a上或二者之上。多個限位件16圍繞於第一探針卡20之四周,以限制第一探針卡20平行於基板11之橫向移動,亦使第一探針卡20之探針21對正第一保護蓋14。需注意的是,為了使圖式簡潔,圖2所示之探針卡載具10未繪出基板11上長軸側之多個限位件16。
Please refer to FIG. 1 again, the
請參照圖5至圖7,以說明本發明之另一實施例之探針卡載具10a,其中,為了使圖式簡潔,圖6所示之探針卡載具10a未繪出基板11上長軸側之多個元件;圖7所示之探針卡載具10a未繪出基板11上短軸側之多個元件。圖5至圖7中與圖1以及圖2所示之元件相同之元件將以相同的元件符號標示,且其結構以及功能與前述相同,在此不再贅述。除了前述元件外,本發明之探針卡載具10a更包含多個第二支撐件12b以及多個第二固定件13b。多個第二支撐件12b亦設置於基板11上。多個第二支撐件12b可支撐一第二探針卡20a,使第二探針卡20a與基板11間具有一第二間距。多個第二固定件13b則設置於基板11上,以固定第二探針卡20a。同樣的,探針卡載具10a可包含多個限位件16a,其設置於基板11上、第二支撐件12b或二者之上,以限制第二探針卡20a平行於基板11之橫向移動。
Please refer to Fig. 5 to Fig. 7, in order to illustrate the
於一實施例中,第二探針卡20a之結構不同於第一探針卡20之結構,例如探針卡之基板厚度、外徑尺寸、邊緣結構不同等差異。可以理解的是,
多個第一支撐件12a以及多個第一固定件13a是針對第一探針卡20之結構進行設計,以固定第一探針卡20於探針卡載具10a上,如圖8所示;而多個第二支撐件12b以及多個第二固定件13b則是針對第二探針卡20a之結構進行設計,以固定第二探針卡20a於探針卡載具10a上,如圖9所示。因此,圖5至圖7所示之探針卡載具10a可依據需求裝載不同型式之第一探針卡20或第二探針卡20a,而相同型式之探針卡載具10a有利於搬運機械輔助操作且可簡化搬運機械的設計。於一實施例中,第二間距等於或小於第一間距,亦即第二支撐件12b之高度等於或小於第一支撐件12a之高度。
In one embodiment, the structure of the
需說明的是,圖3、圖4、圖8以及圖9所示之實施例中,第一探針卡20或第二探針卡20a是以探針21朝下(亦即朝向第一保護蓋14)的方式夾持固定於探針卡載具10上,但不限於此。於一實施例中,第一探針卡20或第二探針卡20a亦能夠以探針21朝上(亦即背向第一保護蓋14)的方式夾持固定於探針卡載具10上,如圖10所示,以對第一探針卡20或第二探針卡20a進行所需的處理,例如調校或清潔探針21等。
It should be noted that, in the embodiments shown in Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 8 and Fig. 9, the
可以理解的是,第一探針卡20以背向第一保護蓋14的方式夾持固定於探針卡載具10上時,探針21即無法以第一保護蓋14覆蓋並保護。為了克服此問題,請再參照圖10,於一實施例中,本發明之探針卡載具10更包含一第二保護蓋18以及至少一第三固定件19a、19b。第二保護蓋18相對於第一保護蓋14設置,以在第一探針卡20之探針21朝上時能夠以第二保護蓋18覆蓋第一探針卡20上之多個探針21。至少一第三固定件19a、19b則用以與第一探針卡20形成干涉,以固定第二保護蓋18於第一探針卡20上。舉例而言,第三固定件19a、19b可為一球型鎖銷(ball lock pin),藉由將球型鎖銷插入第一探針卡20之相對應孔洞(例如定位孔)即可將第二保護蓋18固定於第一探針卡20上。舉例而言,第三固定件19a、19b包含一活動件191、一套筒192以及至少一球體193。活動件191穿入套筒192
中,且可相對於套筒192移動。活動件191具有一溝槽191a,其用以容置球體193。欲解鎖時,使用者可將推動活動件191,使活動件191上之溝槽191a與球體193相對應。此時,球體193容置於溝槽191a內,因此不會突出於套筒192之外表面,如第三固定件19a所示之解鎖狀態,使用者即可將第三固定件19a插入或拔出第一探針卡20之相對應孔洞。欲鎖定時,使用者釋放活動件191,活動件191即因彈性元件(例如彈簧)194回到初始位置。此時,球體193即離開溝槽191a,並被活動件191推出並突出於套筒192之外表面。突出的球體193即與第一探針卡20形成干涉,以固定第二保護蓋18於第一探針卡20上。可以理解的是,藉由適當的設計,第三固定件19a、19b亦能夠與基板11形成干涉,以固定第二保護蓋18於第一探針卡20上。

請參照圖12,本發明一實施例之探針卡倉儲系統40包含多個支架401、402、至少一探針卡載具10a以及一搬運裝置403。探針卡載具10a之詳細結構以及功能如前所述,在此亦不再贅述。多個支架401、402包含多個儲放位置以及一存取位置。舉例而言,多個支架401作為儲放位置,以儲放多個探針卡載具10a;支架402則作為存取位置。當外部之探針卡載具10a欲儲放於探針卡倉儲系
統40時,可將探針卡載具10a置於支架402,接著,探針卡倉儲系統40將支架402上之探針卡載具10a搬運至支架401其中之一進行儲放。或者,當欲取出儲放於支架402上之探針卡載具10a時,探針卡倉儲系統40則將選定之探針卡載具10a自支架401搬移至支架402上,以供操作人員取出支架402上探針卡載具10a。搬運裝置403用以在儲放位置(支架401)以及存取位置(支架402)之間搬運探針卡載具10a。舉例而言,搬運裝置403包含一叉式搬運臂4031,其從探針卡載具10a之下方托起探針卡載具10a。於一實施例中,叉式搬運臂4031可包含多個突出件4032以與探針卡載具10a上之定位孔17結合,以確定探針卡載具10a與叉式搬運臂4031之相對位置,且可防止探針卡載具10a在叉式搬運臂4031上滑動。於一實施例中,探針卡倉儲系統40可包含一定位件404,其可與探針卡搬運台車之相對應定位件303結合,以固定探針卡搬運台車與探針卡倉儲系統40之相對位置。

綜合上述,本發明之探針卡載具、探針卡搬運台車以及探針卡倉儲系統可藉由彈性件之彈力將第一保護蓋抵靠於探針卡並覆蓋探針以保護探針,如此不需以人力來黏貼保護蓋,以減少人工操作。此外,以夾持方式固定探針卡於探針卡載具上,亦有利於機械輔助解鎖固定件而取出探針卡,進而提升操作效率。又,經適當設計之本發明之探針卡載具可裝載不同型式之探針卡,使不同型式之探針卡轉換為相同型式之本發明之探針卡載具,因而有利於機械輔助操作,且可簡化機械之設計。 Based on the above, the probe card carrier, the probe card transport trolley and the probe card storage system of the present invention can use the elastic force of the elastic member to press the first protective cover against the probe card and cover the probes to protect the probes. In this way, it is not necessary to stick the protective cover manually, so as to reduce manual operation. In addition, fixing the probe card on the probe card carrier in a clamping manner is also beneficial to mechanically assisting in unlocking the fixing part to take out the probe card, thereby improving the operation efficiency. Also, the properly designed probe card carrier of the present invention can be loaded with different types of probe cards, so that different types of probe cards can be converted into the same type of probe card carrier of the present invention, thus facilitating mechanically assisted operations , and can simplify the mechanical design.
以上所述之實施例僅是為說明本發明之技術思想及特點,其目的在使熟習此項技藝之人士能夠瞭解本發明之內容並據以實施,當不能以之限定本發明之專利範圍,即大凡依本發明所揭示之精神所作之均等變化或修飾,仍應涵蓋在本發明之專利範圍內。 The above-mentioned embodiments are only to illustrate the technical ideas and characteristics of the present invention, and its purpose is to enable those skilled in this art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and should not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
