A test apparatus for TCP is generally composed of a tester body, a test head, and a TCP handling apparatus (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “TCP handler”). This TCP handler transports a carrier tape on which multiple TCPs are formed on a tape (including the concept of film; the same shall apply hereinafter) and carries the carrier to the probe card probe that is electrically connected to the test head. By pressing the tape and bringing the TCP test pad into contact with the probe, it has the function of attaching multiple TCPs to the test in sequence.

[0004] By the way, in order to perform an efficient and accurate test using a TCP handler, it is necessary to contact the TCP test pad and each probe of the probe card securely.

[0005] For this reason, when using a TCP handler, the TCP handler should be connected in advance to ensure that the TCP test pad and each probe of the probe card can be contacted before performing a test in actual operation. The initial settings are made for, and the settings are registered.

[0006] The initial setting of the TCP handler is performed as follows, for example. First, after determining the rough position of the TCP and probe card transported to the test position, the probe on the probe card and the TCP test pad are photographed with a camera, and the obtained image is displayed on the display device. The operator visually confirms the image while all the probes on the probe card are TCP. Manually adjust the position of each probe so that it can contact all test pads. The position set in this way is registered as an initial setting and used for alignment during actual operation.

Problems to be solved by the invention

[0007] However, along with the recent increase in the number of pins and miniaturization of TCP, TCP test pads have become smaller and narrower, so the probes and test pads displayed on the display device are also smaller and more powerful. Yes. For this reason, it is difficult to align the pad and the probe in the initial setting, and the time required for the initial setting becomes longer. Also, the TCP and probe may not always be accurately aligned, which may cause contact failure, unstable contact resistance, short-circuit between adjacent pins, etc. during actual operation. It may occur.

[0008] The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and provides a TCP handling device capable of accurately and easily aligning a contact terminal of a contact portion with an external terminal of a TCP. The purpose is to provide.

According to this invention (Invention 4), the position of misalignment or poor contact can be visually recognized as an enlarged image, so that the situation of misalignment or poor contact can be accurately grasped. In particular, the position of the external terminal of the TCP and the contact terminal of the contact part should be adjusted manually during actual operation. Since it is possible to quickly grasp and deal with the location of misalignment or contact failure, the test throughput can be improved.

Therefore, the alignment between the external terminal of the TCP and the contact terminal of the contact portion can be performed accurately and easily. Therefore, when using a TCP handling device, the initial setting can be performed efficiently in a short time. In addition, when a contact failure occurs during actual operation of the TCP handling device, it is also possible to check the contact failure status using an enlarged display.

[0017] In the above invention (Invention 6), based on the plurality of contact terminals photographed by the imaging device and the image data of the plurality of TCP external terminals corresponding to the contact terminals, It is preferable to specify the amount of positional deviation from the plurality of external terminals corresponding to the contact terminal (Invention 7). According to this invention (Invention 7), a more accurate misalignment correction amount can be specified.

[0018] In the above invention (Invention 7), the imaging apparatus can image at least two external terminals located on a diagonal line or at least two external terminals far away from each other among a plurality of external terminals of the TCP. The imaging stage is moved as described above, and the positional deviation amount between the at least two external terminals and the contact terminal corresponding to the external terminal is specified based on the image data obtained by the imaging device. The carrier tape or the contact terminal group may be moved so as to obtain a stable contact based on the amount of displacement. Preferred (Invention 8). According to this invention (Invention 7), it is possible to specify a more accurate displacement correction amount, and in particular, it is possible to correct a deviation in the Θ rotation direction.

Based on the effective movement area, a carrier tape and a contact terminal group It may be possible to specify the best position of the invention (Invention 10). According to this invention (Invention 10), for example, even when the contact terminals vary due to pressing stress, the best positions of the carrier tape and the contact terminal group can be efficiently identified. .

[0021] In the above invention (Invention 6), the contact check function is applied to detect the electrical contact state between all the contact terminals and the TCP external terminals corresponding to the contact terminals, and the control is performed. When a tact failure is detected, the contact failure part is photographed by moving the imaging device to the position of the contact terminal that caused the contact failure and the position of the external terminal corresponding to the contact terminal. An image may be displayed on a display device (Invention 11). According to the present invention (Invention 11), it is possible to accurately grasp the state of the contact failure site by the image.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), the operator operates the magnifying magnification of the image at any time while observing the screen of the display device 9, so that the operator can check the image accurately. When performing display (digital zoom) processing, it is preferable to perform smoothing processing in the image processing unit 90 so that the contour of the image does not appear jagged. Thus, by displaying the image with a clear outline by a high-resolution camera, the operator can accurately align the probe 81 and the test pad P. In addition, by applying a high-resolution camera, the test pad P can cope with TCP with a narrower pitch, and the status of the misalignment of many probes 81Z test pad P and their contours can be confirmed accurately. In addition, the same image data can be used in the rough positioning process and detailed positioning process of many probes 81Z test pad P. In addition, by applying a high-resolution camera, the mechanical movement error of the probe card stage 7 is reduced, so the future TCP with a fine and narrow-pitch test pad P can be positioned with high accuracy. be able to.

Next, the usage method and operation of TCP handler 2 will be described.

When using TCP handler 2, move probe card 8 so that all probes 81 of probe card 8 are positioned in the center of corresponding test pad P before operating TCP handler 2. It is necessary to make initial settings. This means that if you change the TPP varieties, test different production lots of TCP, or When the probe card 8 is changed, the reference position of the X-axis position ZY-axis position Z Θ rotation angle of the probe card stage 7 is determined so that the TCP test pad P and the probe card 8 probe 81 contact each other. Therefore, it is necessary to register (this position is referred to as “registered position”). Since pusher stage 4 is used during TCP test execution, it is assumed that it remains in the uncontrolled state by default.

[0064] In the initial setting of the probe card 8, first, when the reference TCP is transported to the test position, the TCP test pad P and the probe 81 of the probe card 8 are photographed and photographed by the second camera 6b. A standard image is displayed on the display panel 91 (see FIG. 6 (a)). Therefore, the operator moves the main sprocket 35b and Z or the probe card stage 7 by manual operation while visually recognizing the image displayed on the display panel 91, so that a plurality of locations (for example, as shown in FIG. 9) Determine the coarse position of the probe 81 and the corresponding test node P. The coarse position can be determined automatically instead of manually, if desired!

[0065] Next, by using the region designation button 93 so that the desired probe 81Z test pad P in the probe 81Z test pad P displayed on the display panel 91 is displayed in the center of the display panel 91. Move the display area. Then, the enlarged button 92a is pressed to display an enlarged image on the display panel 91, and the selected probe 81Z test pad P is enlarged and displayed (see FIG. 6 (b)).

[0066] In this state, the operator manually moves the probe card stage 7 in the X axis direction, the ZY axis direction, and the Z Θ rotation direction so that the plurality of probes 81 come into contact with the center position of the test pad P as much as possible. Adjust the position. This adjustment work is generally performed for a plurality of test pads P and corresponding probes 81 in the four corners of the TCP. The state of the probe force stage 7 that is in the best state for all the probes 81 by this adjustment work is registered as a reference position.

Here, the probe 81 is deformed with many times of pressing. That is, each probe 8

1 may have positional variations in the X-axis direction, the Z-axis direction, and the ZZ direction (pressing direction). Therefore, the contact ends of all the probes 81 are not necessarily at the center position of the test pad P. Therefore, the best condition that all probes 81 can contact the test pad P stably. It is necessary to set to.

[0068] By displaying an enlarged image on the display panel 91 as described above, even if the standard image has the probe 81 and the test pad P small and weak, it is difficult to see the probe 81. Further, since the test pad P is displayed in a large size and is easy to see, the alignment operation of the probe 81 with respect to the test pad P can be performed easily and accurately.

[0069] In the initial setting, the position coordinates of a predetermined position in the field of view of the second camera 6b are also registered. It is preferable to register three or more position coordinates, especially for distant objects in the camera's field of view. This makes it possible to acquire positional deviation information with high accuracy. For example, alignment mark 55 on carrier tape 5, two or more test pads P or characteristic leads on the diagonal of TCP, two or more probes corresponding to them 81 Etc. can be selected.

Next, the main operation of TCP handler 2 when TCP handler 2 is actually operated and thousands of TCPs are sequentially subjected to the test will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In this embodiment, the probe card stage 7 moves the probe card 8 to the registration position registered in the initial setting to be in a fixed state, and corrects misalignment performed before each TCP test that is sequentially transferred. This fine adjustment is performed by the pusher stage 4 for fine adjustment. However, this fine adjustment is also possible by moving the probe card stage 7 in place of the pusher stage 4. In addition, the second camera 6b is moved to the shooting position shown in FIG. 6 (a) (the position where both the alignment mark 55 and the test pad are shot) by the camera stage 61 in the initial stage. It is assumed that all the TCP tests are in a stationary state, and therefore the misalignment is corrected based only on the nine test pads P and the probe 81.

[0071] When the TCP handler 2 starts the main operation, the probe card stage 7 moves to the registration position registered in the initial setting (step SO1). From this point on, it is necessary to correct small misalignments caused by the transport system for each TCP and others. Next, the main sprocket 35b and the tension sprocket 35a rotate by a predetermined angle to move the carrier tape 5 and transport the first TCP to a predetermined position below the suction plate 34 (step S02). [0072] When the TCP is transported to the lower side of the suction plate 34, the servo motor 31 of the pusher unit 3 is driven to move the suction plate 34 downward through the pusher body 33. Here, since the tension sprocket 35a is given a predetermined tension to the carrier tape 5 by being given a torque in the direction opposite to the traveling direction of the carrier tape 5, the carrier tape 5 is in a state without sagging, The positional accuracy of the carrier tape 5 is improved. The suction plate 34 sucks the carrier tape 5 to hold and fix the TCP, and then descends to the photographing position (step S03).

In this state, the second camera 6b performs photographing (step S04), and transmits the obtained image data to the image processing unit 90. The image processing unit 90 receives the received image data and displays the standard image on the display panel 91 together with various information (X coordinate value, Y coordinate value, magnification, pusher position information, etc.) (step S05). , Allowing the operator to confirm.

[0074] Then, the image processing unit 90 obtains positional deviation information (the direction of positional deviation (X-axis direction / Y-axis direction) and the amount of positional deviation) between the test pad P and the probe 81 by calculation (step SO 6 ). For this purpose, the image processing unit 90 first identifies the alignment mark 55 and obtains position information of the alignment mark 55 from the position of the alignment mark 55 on the image and the stage position of the camera stage 61. From the position information of the alignment mark 55, the displacement of the carrier tape 5 itself in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction can be obtained. The positional relationship between each test pad P and the probe 81 is relative to the position of the alignment mark 55 as a reference point.

The positional deviation information is obtained based on the superposition state between the test pad P to be observed and the tip of the probe 81, and it is desirable that the number of observation objects be increased within the range of the processing capability. In addition, when it is desired to detect a shift in the Θ rotation direction, it is desirable to target at least two test pads P located on the diagonal line of TCP in the standard image, or at least two test pads P far away from each other. Better ,.

[0076] Here, if the amount of deformation due to the deformation of the probe 81 is not negligible in the position displacement information and is present to some extent, it is based on a plurality of pieces of position displacement information obtained from a plurality of observation targets. It is also possible to obtain an approximate straight line that can stably contact multiple observation objects and obtain the best correction amount for the X-axis direction and Y-axis direction from the approximate line! /. Note that by applying a high-resolution camera as the second camera 6b, it is possible to clearly obtain a large number of image data to be observed, and as a result, it becomes easy to specify a more accurate correction amount. In addition, by applying a high-resolution camera, it is possible to simultaneously capture a wide TCP area, reducing the need to move the camera stage 61 as in the past, and the throughput associated with the travel time. Can be reduced. Here, if a conventional low-resolution camera is applied, it is necessary to apply a narrow viewing angle and a power camera to ensure image recognition. As a result, it is necessary to shoot, and as a result, error factors associated with image correction such as overlay processing and lens distortion of the obtained multiple images occur. Therefore, by applying a high-resolution camera, an image with a wide viewing angle can be obtained and the above error factors can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to cope with narrow pitch TCP.

[0078] The amount of displacement Δ ϋ (Δ χ, Δγ) between the test pad P and the probe 81 in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction is the center position of the test pad Ρ at the position where the probe 81 and the test pad Ρ contact each other. The image processing unit 90 obtains the positional deviation amount Δ ϋ (Δχ, Ay) by calculation. As shown in the enlarged image in FIG. 6 (b), the positional deviation amount AD includes a deviation amount ΔX in the X-axis direction and a deviation amount Δy in the Y-axis direction. If there is variation in the probe 81, for example, the positional deviation amount Δ ϋ (Δχ, Ay) in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction is obtained for each of the nine probes 81 and the corresponding test pads P. An approximate straight line may be obtained from the obtained nine position shift amounts ΔD, and the most accurate positional shift amount Δ D (A x, Ay) may be obtained based on the approximate lines! With this approximate line, the amount of misalignment in the zero rotation direction can be obtained at the same time. By performing misalignment correction based on the misalignment amount ΔD acquired using the approximate line, a more stable contact state can be obtained for the probe 81 and the test pad P at multiple points.

[0079] Next, in the first case, when it is determined that the positional deviation correction ΔD is not necessary (No in step S07), the process proceeds to step S10 described later. skip. This skip can improve test throughput. Second, if it is determined that misalignment correction is necessary (step S07—Yes), the image processing unit 90 displays an enlarged image of the probe 81Z test pad P causing a large misalignment on the display panel 91. Automatically (Step S08). The TCP handler 2 then drives the pusher stage 4 after obtaining the optimal amount of movement that can be contacted from the relationship between the probe 81 causing the large positional deviation as described above and the other probes 81. Then, misalignment correction is performed (step S09). It is also possible to specify a correction amount for the X-axis direction / Υ-axis direction from the above approximate line and execute the correction.

[0080] To correct the misalignment and align the position, the servo motors 41a, 41b, 41c of the pusher stage 4 are driven to move the top table 48 and eventually the pusher unit 3, and the suction plate 34 is sucked. The carrier tape 5 is moved in the X-axis—Y-axis direction and rotated around the Z or vertical axis. Drive the servo motors 711, 722, and 732 of the probe card stage 7 to move the X base 72, Y base 73, or card ring 735, and move the probe card 8 in the X axis—Y axis direction and around the Z or vertical axis. The force pusher stage 4 can be controlled to move in a shorter time than the probe card stage 7, so it is advantageous to move the pusher stage 4 from the viewpoint of throughput. is there.

[0081] As described above, by applying a high-resolution second camera 6b, it is possible to clearly capture more observation targets even when the camera stage 61 is in a fixed state. Therefore, it is possible to perform highly accurate positioning even with a narrow pitch TCP. In addition, by displaying a magnified image of the probe 81Z test pad P on the display panel 91 with a displacement, it is possible to accurately grasp the position displacement and the contour of the shape between the test pad P and the probe 81. · It can be specified and the correction of misalignment can be confirmed reliably. Further, in this embodiment, the misalignment correction is automatically performed, but it can also be performed by a manual operation. In this case, the automatic display of the enlarged image allows the position of the misalignment to be quickly grasped and the misalignment correction can be performed reliably and easily, so that the test throughput can be improved.

Next, the servo motor 31 of the pusher unit 3 is driven to move the suction plate 34 further downward in the Z axis via the pusher main body 33. The suction plate 34 that sucks the carrier tape 5 descends to the contact position and presses the TCP against the probe 81 of the probe card 8 (step S10). [0083] After pressing, if desired, the suction plate 34 may be slightly swung back and forth and left and right, or ultrasonic vibrations may be applied to the suction plate 34 in a contact state. Also, at this stage, if desired, a process for obtaining a slight contact deviation amount at the time of contact with respect to the positional deviation correction amount at the time of contact with respect to the positional deviation correction amount at the time of non-contact by imaging the positional relationship of the probe 81Z test pad P in the contact state. You may be careful. This additional processing can be performed in parallel with the test execution, so it does not affect the throughput. Further, by adding the obtained slight contact deviation amount to the positional deviation correction amount after the next time, a more stable contact can be realized.

[0084] When the TCP test pad P contacts the probe 81, first, a minute DC current is applied to each test pad P, and the presence or absence of current flowing through the TCP internal circuit (for example, a protective diode) or voltage Measure the value and check (contact check) whether the test pads are in electrical contact with each other and whether there is a short between adjacent pins (step Sl l). If a contact failure occurs during the contact check, the suction plate 34 can be slightly swayed (scribed) back and forth, left and right in the contact state, ultrasonic vibration can be applied to the suction plate 34, or the pusher body Move part 33 up and down to perform contact operation again. If the contact fails again, the TCP is judged to be defective. Here, it is assumed that it is difficult to confirm whether the contact resistance value at the time of contact is larger than the allowable resistance value that can be normally tested.

Thereafter, a test signal is applied to the TCP through the test head 10 as well as the tester body force, and the response signal read from the TCP is sent to the tester body through the test head 10 (step S12). As a result, TCP performance and functions are tested, and TCP is judged as good, defective, and ranked. When the TCP determined to be non-defective is transported to the position of the mark punch 26a, the mark punch 26a is given a non-defective mark, and the TCP determined to be defective is to the position of the reject punch 26b. When it is transported, it will be punched out by reject punch 26b. Note that the mark punch 26a and the reject punch 26b may not be operated depending on the operation mode.

[0086] The determination of a defective product may be based on a contact failure between the TCP test pad P and the probe 81. In this case, the probe 81Z test that may have a contact failure may occur. After moving the camera stage 61 to the top pad P, the enlarged image is displayed together with information such as the TCP number, the test pad number, the distance value in the pressing direction, the X-axis coordinate value, and the Y-axis coordinate value. You may make it display automatically. This makes it possible to accurately grasp the state of the IC pin test pad where the contact failure actually occurs.

[0087] If it is determined that a contact failure has occurred (step S13—Yes), first, the operator adjusts the position of the probe 81 while viewing the enlarged image of the display panel 91 by a manual operation. (Step S14a). Since this position adjustment can be performed while viewing the enlarged image, it can be easily performed.

[0088] Second, a retest can be automatically performed (step S14b). In this case, the tester body strength also receives the test pad number information related to the determination of defective products, and the test pad P corresponding to the information and the surrounding test pads P are misaligned as described above. If the calculated amount of misalignment is out of the normal contact area force, move it to the non-contact state, move the pusher stage 4 in the direction to correct misalignment, and then enter the contact state. Run the test again. This retest may determine that TCP is good. In addition, the extraction of test pad P that may be a contact failure is obtained based on the above test results and contact check results.

[0089] When the TCP test is completed as described above, the servo motor 31 of the pusher unit 3 is driven, and the suction plate 34 is moved upward in the Z-axis direction via the pusher main body 33 to be in the initial state ( Step S15). When the probe card stage 7 is applied for misalignment correction, return it to the registration position. Then, the suction plate 34 stops the suction of the carrier tape 5 to release the carrier tape 5, and further moves upward in the Z-axis (step S16).

[0090] After that, the TCP handler 2 determines whether or not the tested TCP is the last device (step S17). If it is determined that the TCP is the last device (step S17—Yes) ), Main operation ends. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not the last device (step S17—No), the process returns to step S02.

The embodiments described above are described for facilitating the understanding of the present invention, and are not described for limiting the present invention. Therefore, the above embodiment Each element disclosed in the above is intended to include all design changes and equivalents belonging to the technical scope of the present invention.

[0092] For example, the image enlargement processing function of the image processing unit 90 may apply a high-resolution power camera as the second camera 6b, and the camera may be provided with the function, or a power provided with an optical zoom function. A zoom operation may be performed in accordance with a command from the image processing unit 90 by applying a camera.

Further, the probe contact point of the probe 81 and the center position point of the test pad P may be displayed on the screen of the display device 9 in an overlay manner. That is, the image data received by the image processing unit 90 is processed, and first, the shape (outer shape or contour) of the probe 81 is extracted, and the position of the protruding end of the probe 81 (from the test pad P) is extracted from the extracted shape. Specify the probe contact point). Here, the positional relationship of the probe contact point with respect to the shape of the probe 81 is assumed to be registered in advance. Second, the shape (outer shape or contour) of the test pad P is extracted, and the center position point of the test pad P is specified from the extracted shape. Then, along with the captured image, a mark indicating the position of the probe contact point and a mark indicating the position of the center position point of the test pad P are displayed on the display panel 91 in an overlay manner. As a result, the operator can clearly grasp the deviation state between the center position point of the test pad P and the probe contact point, so that the alignment adjustment work can be performed accurately. If desired, the probe contact point and the center position point of the test pad P extracted above can be stored in the storage device together with the position information of the alignment mark 55, and used for recognition of deformation of the probe 81 and other statistical processing. You may be able to do it.

In the above-described embodiment, the camera stage 61 is moved to a predetermined position at the first stage (a position where both the alignment mark 55 and the test pad P are photographed as shown in FIG. We have explained the simple case where the camera stage 61 is stationary until all TCP tests are completed after moving to a known position with reference to the mark 55, but TCP has a very large number of test pads. If there is P or if more precise positioning is required, the camera should be connected to at least two test pads P on the diagonal line of multiple test pads P or at least two test pads P far from each other. The stage is moved sequentially, and the amount of positional deviation Δ D (Δ X, Δ y) between the plurality of probes 81 and the corresponding test pad P is calculated in the same manner as above. Each may be obtained. Here, when the alignment mark 55 exists at a plurality of locations, it is desirable to image the position where the alignment mark 55 is located. Then, the pusher stage 4 or the probe card 8 may be moved in the X-axis direction, the Z-Y-axis direction, and the Z-theta rotation direction in a direction in which stable contact can be obtained based on all the positional deviation amounts AD obtained above. .

In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the alignment mark 55 is first specified and then an accurate positioning process is performed has been described. However, there is a large test pad or the like that does not require accurate positioning. In the case of the TCP type, the accurate positioning process described above may be omitted from the viewpoint of improving the throughput. In other words, the position of the alignment mark 55 is specified, a deviation from a previously registered position is calculated, and after positioning based on the positional deviation information, a test form in which a test is executed immediately may be adopted.

[0096] In addition, the multiple probes 81 may be deformed with several to tens of thousands of pressing stresses. For this reason, all the probes 81 in contact with the TCP may be in a variation state in which the center position force of each corresponding test node is also shifted. Therefore, the probe card stage 7 is sequentially moved in the X axis direction and the horizontal axis direction until a contact failure is detected by any of the probes 81, and the effective movement region is specified. Based on this, the best position (center position in the XY direction and Θ rotation amount) in the current probe 81 is specified. Then, the registered position of the probe card 8 may be specified based on the specified best position.

[0097] The determination of the rough position of the probe 81 and the test pad P corresponding to the probe 81 and the initial setting of the reference position (or reference movement amount) may all be performed automatically. That is, the main sprocket 35b and the probe card stage 7 are moved as required, and the force camera stage 61 is moved, and the position of the alignment mark 55 related to a predetermined TCP is specified by the second camera 6b, and the alignment between the TCP and alignment Based on the predetermined information indicating the positional relationship with the mark 55, the probe 81 at a plurality of locations near the alignment mark 55 (for example, 9 locations shown in FIG. Determine the location. After that, if necessary, the enlarged image state is set as shown in FIG. 6 (b), and as described above, the positional deviation amount is obtained from the multi-point probe 81Z test pad P and the reference position is set. Anyway Yes. In this case, the best positioning can be performed automatically without operator intervention.

Further, an effective movement area (effective movement area) for the current probe card 8 may be obtained in advance by applying a contact check function. That is, while moving the probe card 8 or the pusher stage 4 in the XY plane direction by a desired amount of movement, the electrical contact state between all the probes and the corresponding test pads is detected, and either probe is detected. In 81, find the effective movement area that does not cause poor contact. Here, it is possible to set the desired movement amount to a fixed minute unit movement amount, but it is desirable to perform a binary search (binary search) and obtain an effective movement region with a small number of movements. It is desirable to set the movement range limit in advance so that the probe 81 does not hit the TCP protrusions and cause damage to them. Based on the obtained effective movement area, the best coarse position between the TCP and the probe card 8 is determined. In addition, since the tolerance in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction can be obtained from the effective movement area, the deformation state of all the probes 81 in the probe card 8 can be grasped, and therefore the effective movement area is used as maintenance information for the probe card 8. It can also be used. Note that it is desirable to store information on the effective movement area in a storage device.

[0099] In addition, the TCP handling device according to the present invention does not have to include the pusher stage 4 that can be moved and controlled by a motor. In this case, the displacement correction can be performed by moving the probe card stage 7. it can.

[0100] Further, the TCP handling device of the present invention may be of a manual adjustment mechanism provided with a mechanism by which the probe card stage 7 can be moved and controlled by a motor. In this case, in the initial registration work, the operator manually sets the probe card stage 7 to the registration position while viewing the standard image or the enlarged image on the display device 9. Thereafter, the pusher stage 4 can automatically perform misalignment correction.

[0101] Also, the TCP determined to be defective as a result of the test execution was imaged with the positional relationship of the probe 81Z test pad P while maintaining the current contact state. If a misalignment exceeding the maximum allowable deviation in direction is found, information related to the probe 81 (position misalignment, corresponding test pad P number, distance value in the pressing direction, etc.) is displayed on the display panel 91. You may make it display. By doing this, contact failure It is possible to automatically display the probe 81 and the test pad P having a high probability, and to confirm the contact state by an image.
