具体实施方式Detailed ways
探针卡对半导体结构的测试结果的准确性还有待提升,经分析发现,主 要原因在于:探针卡上的探针容易受到温度的影响而发生热胀冷缩,进而产生形变;且位于探针卡不同区域的探针的高度可能存在差异,因此,同一探针卡上的探针与半导体结构的接触效果可能不同。若探针与半导体结构的接触深度过浅,可能会存在接触不良的问题,进而影响测试结构的准确性;若探针与半导体结构的接触深度过深,探针可能会扎破半导体结构,进而对半导体结构造成损伤。The accuracy of the test results of the probe card on the semiconductor structure needs to be improved. After analysis, it is found that the main reason is that: the probe on the probe card is easily affected by the temperature, which will cause thermal expansion and contraction, and then produce deformation; The heights of the probes in different regions of the needle card may be different, therefore, the contact effects between the probes on the same probe card and the semiconductor structure may be different. If the contact depth between the probe and the semiconductor structure is too shallow, there may be a problem of poor contact, which will affect the accuracy of the test structure; if the contact depth between the probe and the semiconductor structure is too deep, the probe may puncture the semiconductor structure, thereby damage to semiconductor structures.

以下将对探针卡进行具体说明。The probe card will be specifically described below.
在采用探针卡对半导体结构进行测试的期间,半导体结构本身的温度需满足测试温度的要求,探针卡能够测试不同温度条件下半导体结构的电性能。半导体结构放置于卡盘(未图示)上,卡盘设置为改变测试半导体结构的环境温度。卡盘能够承载半导体结构,还能够提供热源,进而使得半导体结构的温度达到测试的温度。卡盘对半导体结构的温度的控制过程包括两个阶段。第一阶段,需要使用卡盘对半导体结构进行隔空预热,即卡盘未与半导体结构直接接触,而是通过改变环境温度间接改变半导体结构本身的温度。第二阶段,将半导体结构放置于卡盘上,半导体结构直接对卡盘进行加热,进而使得半导体结构的温度达到测试温度,并且保持稳定状态。两个阶段的时长大约为三至四个小时。在卡盘改变环境温度以及半导体结构本身的温度时,卡盘也会改变探针的温度,进而使得探针的温度与半导体结构的温度接近。When using the probe card to test the semiconductor structure, the temperature of the semiconductor structure itself needs to meet the test temperature requirements, and the probe card can test the electrical properties of the semiconductor structure under different temperature conditions. The semiconductor structure is placed on a chuck (not shown), which is configured to change the ambient temperature of the semiconductor structure under test. The chuck can carry the semiconductor structure and can also provide a heat source so that the temperature of the semiconductor structure reaches the test temperature. The process of controlling the temperature of the semiconductor structure by the chuck includes two stages. In the first stage, the chuck needs to be used to preheat the semiconductor structure in space, that is, the chuck is not in direct contact with the semiconductor structure, but the temperature of the semiconductor structure itself is indirectly changed by changing the ambient temperature. In the second stage, the semiconductor structure is placed on the chuck, and the semiconductor structure directly heats the chuck, so that the temperature of the semiconductor structure reaches the test temperature and maintains a stable state. The duration of the two phases is approximately three to four hours. When the chuck changes the ambient temperature and the temperature of the semiconductor structure itself, the chuck will also change the temperature of the probe, so that the temperature of the probe is close to the temperature of the semiconductor structure.
参考图1,在一些实施例中,探针卡测试的半导体结构为晶圆,探测卡中的长针层1的形状可以与半导体结构的形状保持一致,比如均为圆形。长针层1具有多个分区13,每个分区13相互独立。Referring to FIG. 1 , in some embodiments, the semiconductor structure tested by the probe card is a wafer, and the shape of the needle layer 1 in the probe card can be consistent with the shape of the semiconductor structure, for example, they are all circular. The long needle layer 1 has a plurality of partitions 13, and each partition 13 is independent of each other.
图2为探针卡中一个分区13的示意图,结合参考图1-图2,长针层1包括多个支撑层12,每一支撑层12位于一分区13内;支撑层12具有相对的两面,探针11固定于支撑层12的一面,温度调节模块2固定于支撑层12的另一面,高度调节模块3固定于温度调节模块2背向支撑层12的一面。即温度调节模块2和高度调节模块3层叠设置于支撑层12上。Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a partition 13 in the probe card, with reference to Fig. 1-Fig. 2, the long needle layer 1 includes a plurality of support layers 12, each support layer 12 is located in a partition 13; the support layer 12 has opposite two sides , the probe 11 is fixed on one side of the support layer 12 , the temperature adjustment module 2 is fixed on the other side of the support layer 12 , and the height adjustment module 3 is fixed on the side of the temperature adjustment module 2 facing away from the support layer 12 . That is, the temperature adjustment module 2 and the height adjustment module 3 are stacked on the supporting layer 12 .
结合参考图3-图5,控制层4分别与高度调节模块3和温度调节模块2通讯连接,并设置为控制高度调节模块3和温度调节模块2的工作。由于分区13(参考图1)之间相互独立,且每一分区13都具有一个温度调节模块2和高度调节模块3,控制层4能够对每个分区13的高度调节模块3和温度调节模块2进行单独控制,进而减小不同分区13的高度和温度的差异,保证探针11与半导体结构具有良好的接触效果,从而提高探针卡的测试结果的准确性。With reference to Fig. 3-Fig. 5, the control layer 4 communicates with the altitude adjustment module 3 and the temperature adjustment module 2 respectively, and is configured to control the operation of the altitude adjustment module 3 and the temperature adjustment module 2. Since the partitions 13 (with reference to Fig. 1 ) are mutually independent, and each partition 13 has a temperature regulation module 2 and an altitude regulation module 3, the control layer 4 can control the height regulation module 3 and the temperature regulation module 2 of each partition 13 Individual control is performed to further reduce the difference in height and temperature of different partitions 13 to ensure good contact effect between the probe 11 and the semiconductor structure, thereby improving the accuracy of the test results of the probe card.
在一些实施例中,控制层4设置为控制温度调节模块2将探针11的温度调节至测试温度后,还设置为控制高度调节模块3将探针11的高度调节至预设高度。In some embodiments, the control layer 4 is configured to control the temperature adjustment module 2 to adjust the temperature of the probe 11 to the test temperature, and then to control the height adjustment module 3 to adjust the height of the probe 11 to a preset height.
卡盘能够对探针11的温度起到一定的调节作用,但卡盘与长针层1不直接接触,若单独使用卡盘对探针11进行温度控制,则难以保证温度控制的精准性,且温度控制调控时间过长。采用温度调节模块2直接与长针层1进行接触,有利于保证探针11温度控制的精准性和稳定性,还能够缩短温度调节时间。当探针11达到测试温度后,即探针11处于恒温状态时,探针11的形变也将停止,探针11的长度能够保持不变。高度调节模块3将探针11的高度调节至预设高度,能够便于探针11的端部保持处于同一水平位置,后续将探针11的端部与半导体结构进行接触时,不同探针与半导体结构的接触效果也能够保持相对一致。The chuck can regulate the temperature of the probe 11 to a certain extent, but the chuck is not in direct contact with the long needle layer 1. If the chuck is used alone to control the temperature of the probe 11, it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of temperature control. And the temperature control regulation time is too long. Using the temperature adjustment module 2 to directly contact the long needle layer 1 is beneficial to ensure the accuracy and stability of the temperature control of the probe 11 and can shorten the temperature adjustment time. When the probe 11 reaches the test temperature, that is, when the probe 11 is in a constant temperature state, the deformation of the probe 11 will also stop, and the length of the probe 11 can remain unchanged. The height adjustment module 3 adjusts the height of the probe 11 to a preset height, which can facilitate keeping the end of the probe 11 at the same horizontal position. When the end of the probe 11 is subsequently contacted with the semiconductor structure, different probes and semiconductor structures The contact effect of the structure can also be kept relatively consistent.
以下将对高度调节模块3、温度调节模块2和控制层4进行详细说明。The height adjustment module 3 , the temperature adjustment module 2 and the control layer 4 will be described in detail below.

The heating layer 21 is in direct contact with the long needle layer 1 . In the testing process of semiconductor structures, high temperature testing is more common than low temperature testing, and the heating layer 21 is closer to the long needle layer 1 than the cooling layer 22 , which can improve the heating efficiency of the probe 11 .

The ceramic material has a large specific heat capacity, which can prevent sudden changes in the temperature of the probe 11 (refer to FIG. 2 ), thereby reducing the deformation of the probe 11 and prolonging the service life of the probe 11 .
参考图5,每一高度调节模块3设置为调节一个分区13(参考图1)内的探针11(参考图2)的高度,具体为:每一高度调节模块3设置为改变一 个分区13内的支撑层12(参考图2)的高度,以调节一个分区13内的探针11的高度。高度调节模块3直接调节支撑层12的高度,在改变支撑层12高度的过程中,探针11随着支撑层12一起运动,进而发生高度的变化。在高度调节模块3调节支撑层12高度的过程中,温度调节模块2的高度也一同发生变化。Referring to FIG. 5, each height adjustment module 3 is configured to adjust the height of the probe 11 (refer to FIG. 2) in a subregion 13 (refer to FIG. 1), specifically: each height adjustment module 3 is configured to change the height of a probe 11 (refer to FIG. The height of the supporting layer 12 (refer to FIG. 2 ) can be adjusted to adjust the height of the probes 11 in a partition 13 . The height adjustment module 3 directly adjusts the height of the support layer 12. During the process of changing the height of the support layer 12, the probe 11 moves together with the support layer 12, and then the height changes. During the process of adjusting the height of the supporting layer 12 by the height adjustment module 3 , the height of the temperature adjustment module 2 also changes together.

The driving layer 32 is configured to drive the buffer layer 31 to perform lifting, and the buffer layer 31 is configured to drive the probe 11 (refer to FIG. 2 ) to lift. That is, the buffer layer 31 drives the supporting layer 12 to lift, and then drives the probe 11 to lift.
在一些实施例中,驱动层32可以为马达,缓冲层31可以为螺杆,马达设置为驱动螺杆执行升降,螺杆设置为带动探针11进行升降。在另一些实施例中,缓冲层31还可以为滑块,驱动层32设置为驱动滑块进行升降,进而改变探针11高度。In some embodiments, the driving layer 32 may be a motor, the buffer layer 31 may be a screw, the motor is configured to drive the screw to perform lifting, and the screw is configured to drive the probe 11 to lift. In other embodiments, the buffer layer 31 may also be a slider, and the driving layer 32 is configured to drive the slider to move up and down, thereby changing the height of the probe 11 .
结合参考图3-图5,控制层4内具有控制电路和供电模块,控制电路设置为控制高度调节模块3、升温层21和降温层22的工作。而供电模块为高度调节模块3、升温层21和降温层22提供电源,供电模块设置为向高度调节模块3中的驱动层32、升温层21中的电阻丝211、降温层22中的冷冻机224供电。Referring to Fig. 3-Fig. 5 together, the control layer 4 has a control circuit and a power supply module, and the control circuit is configured to control the work of the height adjustment module 3, the heating layer 21 and the cooling layer 22. The power supply module provides power for the height adjustment module 3, the heating layer 21 and the cooling layer 22. 224 power supply.
在一些实施例中,控制层4还设置为控制高度调节模块3增大探针11与卡盘的高度差,且探针11与卡盘的高度差增加后,控制层4还设置为控制温度调节模块3提高自身温度,以调节探针11的温度。在测试期间,控制层4还可以控制探针11的作动;探针11在作动过程中,探针11与卡盘的高度差会发生变化。由于卡盘能够为测试环境提供热量,因此当高度调节模块3增大探针11与卡盘的高度差后,卡盘向探针11传递的热量减小,因而探针11本身的温度可能会下降,进而导致形变。在探针11与卡盘的高度差增加后,控制层4控制温度调节模块2提高自身温度,进而增加对探针11传递的热量,有利于探针11温度保持稳定,进而避免探针11因针冷现象而发生形变,从而保证探针的针痕稳定性。In some embodiments, the control layer 4 is also configured to control the height adjustment module 3 to increase the height difference between the probe 11 and the chuck, and after the height difference between the probe 11 and the chuck increases, the control layer 4 is also configured to control the temperature The regulating module 3 increases its own temperature to regulate the temperature of the probe 11 . During testing, the control layer 4 can also control the action of the probe 11; during the action of the probe 11, the height difference between the probe 11 and the chuck will change. Because the chuck can provide heat for the test environment, when the height adjustment module 3 increases the height difference between the probe 11 and the chuck, the heat transferred from the chuck to the probe 11 decreases, so the temperature of the probe 11 itself may decrease. drop, resulting in deformation. After the height difference between the probe 11 and the chuck increases, the control layer 4 controls the temperature adjustment module 2 to increase its own temperature, thereby increasing the heat transferred to the probe 11, which is beneficial to keep the temperature of the probe 11 stable, thereby preventing the probe 11 from Deformation occurs due to needle cold phenomenon, thereby ensuring the needle mark stability of the probe.
在另一些实施例中,参考图2,探针卡还包括:高度测量模块51,高度测量模块51设置为测量不同分区13的探针11的高度;高度测量模块51设置为向控制层4传输探针11的高度,控制层4设置为基于探针11的高度生 成高度补偿值;高度调节模块3设置为基于高度补偿值调节探针11的高度。每一分区13都具有高度测量模块51,进而能够单独对一个分区13的探针11高度进行测量。In some other embodiments, referring to FIG. 2 , the probe card further includes: a height measurement module 51, which is configured to measure the heights of the probes 11 of different partitions 13; the height measurement module 51 is configured to transmit the height to the control layer 4 For the height of the probe 11, the control layer 4 is configured to generate a height compensation value based on the height of the probe 11; the height adjustment module 3 is configured to adjust the height of the probe 11 based on the height compensation value.

The probe card also includes a guide rail 52 , the extension direction of the guide rail 52 is the height direction of the probe 11 , and the height adjustment module 3 is configured to drive the infrared scanner to move up and down along the guide rail 52 .
在一些实施例中,当探针11的温度稳定后,红外扫描仪扫描所有分区13的探针11高度,并将探针11的高度反馈至控制层4;控制层4将一个分区13的探针11高度设为预设高度,并将其他分区13的探针11高度与分区13的探针11高度进行对比从而获得高度差值;后续采用高度调节模块3根据高度差进行高度调节,使所有分区13的探针11高度保持一致,即探针11的端部保持在同一水平面。In some embodiments, after the temperature of the probes 11 is stabilized, the infrared scanner scans the heights of the probes 11 of all subregions 13, and feeds back the heights of the probes 11 to the control layer 4; The height of the needle 11 is set to a preset height, and the height of the probes 11 of other partitions 13 is compared with the height of the probes 11 of the partition 13 to obtain a height difference; the height adjustment module 3 is subsequently used to adjust the height according to the height difference, so that all The heights of the probes 11 in the partition 13 are kept consistent, that is, the ends of the probes 11 are kept at the same level.
为了不影响探针11的测试工作,红外线扫描仪在需要量测探针11高度时下降,在测量完成后上升进而返回原点,以使红外线扫描仪的高度高于探针11顶部的高度。In order not to affect the testing work of the probe 11, the infrared scanner descends when the height of the probe 11 needs to be measured, rises and then returns to the origin after the measurement is completed, so that the height of the infrared scanner is higher than the height of the top of the probe 11.
