Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for inserting at least one semiconductor component into a receptacle, in particular into a test base for testing the electrical function of the semiconductor component.
- the test station here has a plurality of test bases with receiving spaces into which the semiconductor components are automatically inserted through a receiving opening.
- the semiconductor components to be tested are located in recesses in a transport tray that is moved under a test head of the test station.
- the test head has several test bases which are positioned in accordance with the arrangement of the receiving recesses in the transport tray.
- the receiving spaces of the test bases are open towards the bottom, so that the semiconductor components are moved into the receiving spaces of the test bases by lifting them out of the receiving recesses of the transport tray. Movement elements in the form of stamp-like projections, which are arranged on a common carrier, serve this purpose.
- the semiconductor modules or the test socket may be damaged.
- the semiconductor modules in the transport tray are not so precisely aligned relative to the test head that they move exactly upwards into the receiving spaces the test base can be fitted. Rather, the semiconductor components are only pushed into the desired position by the force of the stamp-like movement elements, in which position they can then be pressed through the receiving openings into the receiving spaces of the test base. For example, the connecting legs of the semiconductor components can bend.
- the test bases wear out relatively quickly due to the strong friction of the semiconductor components, which is why they often have to be replaced.
- the object of the invention is to create a device for inserting at least one semiconductor component into a receptacle, in which the risk of damage to the semiconductor component and / or the receptacle is reduced.
- the invention provides a device for inserting at least one semiconductor component into a receptacle, in particular into a test base for testing the electrical function of the semiconductor component, the device being provided with at least one receiving space for the semiconductor component, the receiving space having a receiving opening, and at least one moving element for moving the semiconductor component in one direction of movement through the receiving opening into the receiving space, the moving element being a gas cushion generating device which produces a gas cushion which moves the semiconductor component into at least the receiving opening.
- the device according to the invention has a moving element which is provided with a gas cushion generating device.
- the semiconductor component At least in the phase of movement of the semiconductor component, within which the semiconductor component is moved into the receiving opening, there is a gas cushion between the end of the movement element facing the semiconductor component and the semiconductor component itself. If the semiconductor component is therefore moved into the receptacle from below, it floats on the gas cushion until it is in the receptacle opening of the receptacle space. The semiconductor component is centered in the receiving opening, which leads to movements of the semiconductor component relative to the movement element. Since the movement element is not yet mechanically in contact with the semiconductor component, the centering of the semiconductor component is therefore carried out gently, both for the semiconductor component itself and for the receptacle, which is in the case of a IC test station is the test socket. This significantly reduces wear and the risk of damage.
- semiconductor components can thus be gently moved with little effort and low friction when transferred into a receptacle, for example a test base for testing the electrical function of the semiconductor component.
- a receptacle for example a test base for testing the electrical function of the semiconductor component.
- greater motive forces than those that can be generated by the gas cushion are required in order to move the semiconductor component completely into the receiving space.
- test sockets for SOJ ICs In these test sockets, the IC with its connecting legs must be brought into mechanical contact with spring-loaded contact tongues of the test socket. This requires a certain minimum force that can as can no longer be applied by moving the moving element with the gas cushion generated on it in the direction of the semiconductor component without touching the semiconductor component. Therefore, it can happen that after the centering of the semiconductor component in the receiving opening of the test socket for SOJ-ICs, these are completely moved into the test socket by the movement element resting on the semiconductor component and by advancing the latter introduces the test socket.
- the gas cushion generating device should in any case be sufficient to move the semiconductor component completely into the receiving space of the receptacle without mechanical contact with the movement element.
- the gas cushion generating device has at least one gas outlet opening, which is arranged in the front surface of the movement element assigned to the semiconductor element and facing the semiconductor element.
- This gas outlet opening is preferably designed as a diffuser.
- the diffuser is in particular a spiral, which is arranged in the gas outlet opening.
- the gas cushion generating device is also expediently provided with a gas flow generating device. see that is connected via gas supply lines to the gas outlet openings of the movement elements.
- a plurality of movement elements are preferably arranged on a common carrier in order to be able to simultaneously move a multiplicity of semiconductor components into the receptacles assigned to them.
- the gas supply lines of the movement elements are connected to one another and coupled together with the gas flow generating device.
- the gas cushion generating device is designed as a closed air circuit, so that the gas emerging via the gas outlet openings is fed back to the gas supply lines.
- the gas cushion generating device is preferably provided with a heating / cooling device for tempering the gas forming the gas cushion.
- This configuration has the advantage that the semiconductor components to be tested by the can be brought to a desired temperature with tempered gas in order to be able to check the function of the semiconductor components at these temperatures.
- the entire device is accommodated in a housing which is sealed off from the surroundings and which is thermally insulated from the surroundings in particular.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a cross-sectional view through a test station for semiconductor components, the semiconductor components being located in receiving recesses in a transport tray,
- FIG. 2 shows a sectional view similar to that of FIG. 1, the semiconductor components being lifted out of the recesses in the transport tray and centered and prepositioned in the recesses in the test base,
- FIG. 3 shows a sectional view of the test station in the case of semiconductor components completely moved into the test base by means of the movement elements
- Fig. 4 is a sectional view along the plane IV-IV of Fig. 3 and
- FIG. 5 shows a sectional view similar to that according to FIG. 4, but for an alternative embodiment of the invention.
- FIGs. 1 to 3 are sectional views through a test station 10 in different operating positions.
- the test station 10 is used to check the electrical functions of ICs 12.
- Each IC 12 has a plastic housing 14 with connecting legs 16 protruding laterally therefrom, which are angled downward and bent at their ends towards the underside 18 of the housing 14.
- the semiconductor components are located in receiving recesses 20 of a transport tray 22 with which they are brought into the test station 10.
- the transport tray 22 has cutouts 23 on its underside, which are connected to the receiving recesses 20.
- the receiving recesses 20 and the recesses 23 thus form transversely through the transport tray 22 7/40393 PC17EP97 / 01948
- the transport tray 22 is located within the test station 10 between a test head 24 with a plurality of test bases 26 on the one hand and a movement member 28 for transferring the ICs 12 from the receiving recesses 20 into the test base 26 of the test head 24.
- the movement member 28 has a carrier plate 30 with a channel 32 which extends through the plate 30 in extension.
- the carrier plate 30 also has a plurality of protruding movement elements 34 which are positioned in accordance with the arrangement of the receiving recesses 20 of the transport tray 22.
- Channels 36 which are connected to the channel 32, extend through the movement elements 34.
- the channels 36 end at the free ends 38 of the movement elements 34 facing away from the plate 30. Openings 40 are located on these ends 38 facing the undersides 18 of the IC housing 14.
- the movement element 28 is connected to an air flow generation pump 42 which supplies the channel 32 with air via a connecting line 44. This air emerges from the movement elements 34 via the channels 36 and the openings 40.
- Each of the test sockets 26 has a receiving space 46 for receiving an IC 12.
- the receiving space 46 there are contact tongues 48 for making electrical contact with the connection pins 16 of the ICs.
- the contact tongues 48 At their free ends 50 facing the movement elements, the contact tongues 48 have sloping sections 52 which form a centering area 54 for the ICs 12. Furthermore, the free ends 50 define a receiving opening 56 of the receiving space 46, through which the latter is accessible from the outside.
- the ICs 12 are raised and moved through the receiving openings 56 into the receiving areas 46 of the test base 26, where they are centered by the inclined sections 52 of the contact tongues 48.
- This situation is shown in Fig. 2. In this situation, either the IC housings 14 are in contact with the contact tongues 48 or the connection legs 16 are in contact with the contact tongues 48.
- the electrical functions of the ICs 12 are now tested.
- the ICs 12 are then switched off using a mechanism which is not described in more detail here the test base 26 and into the receiving recesses 20 of the transport tray 22, whereupon the transport tray 22 is moved out of the test station 10.
- the air cushion generating device 62 consisting of the movement element 28 with the channels 32 and 36 and the pump 42 enables the ICs 12 to be positioned gently in the region of the receiving openings 56 of the test socket 26, which leads to a reduction in wear and tear the risk of damage to both the ICs 12 and the test head 24.
- FIG. 5 shows an alternative embodiment of the outlet openings 40 of the movement elements 34. According to FIG. 5, there are spiral elements 64 in the openings 40, as a result of which the openings 40 are designed as diffuser openings 66.

- the test station 10 is therefore suitable for testing the ICs 12 both at low temperatures (for example up to -50 ° C.), at room temperature and at high temperatures (for example up to approximately 85 ° C.).
- the test station 10 should be provided with a closed air circuit so that cooled or heated air can escape from the test station 10 into the environment and penetration of ambient air into the Test station 10 is prevented.
- the air return system required for the closed ventilation circuit is not shown in the drawing.
- the test station 10 or the test head 24 should be equipped with heating and / or cooling devices.
- the test head 24 can be designed as a block housing that can be cooled or heated.
