Embodiment
Chip testing structure and the chip detecting method of prior art, whether the edge that can only detect chip occurs that chip splits, can not distinguish chip and split and form in the process of Shi Qian road manufacture, or after form in the process of road manufacture.Inventor is through finding the further investigation of prior art chips structure, because the pad on chip is positioned at the region, center of described chip, so in encapsulation process, to the pad on chip weld and the chip that forms to split be outwards to spread from the pad of described chip that cracking forms.Inventor further studies discovery, and the formation that the process chips of Qian road manufacture is split is often due to the problem of manufacturing process, and the problem of manufacturing process tends to reaction on whole chip.So the position range that the process chips of the position range Bi Qian road manufacture that the chip forming in encapsulation process splits is split is little, and the general region, center that only concentrates on more close described chip.
Because above-mentioned research, the present invention propose a kind of can accurate evaluation the split chip testing structure of reason of chip after encapsulation, described chip testing structure has the described first test metal wire of more close described chip edge and the described second test metal wire in more close chip center region, according to the open circuit conditions of described the first test metal wire and the second test metal wire, can judge easily and accurately the reason that chip splits.
Below in conjunction with schematic diagram, chip testing structure of the present invention and method of testing thereof are described in more detail, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are wherein represented, should be appreciated that those skilled in the art can revise the present invention described here, and still realize advantageous effects of the present invention.Therefore, following description is appreciated that extensively knowing for those skilled in the art, and not as limitation of the present invention.
For clear, whole features of practical embodiments are not described.They in the following description, are not described in detail known function and structure, because can make the present invention chaotic due to unnecessary details.Will be understood that in the exploitation of any practical embodiments, must make a large amount of implementation details to realize developer's specific objective, for example, according to about system or about the restriction of business, change into another embodiment by an embodiment.In addition, will be understood that this development may be complicated and time-consuming, but be only routine work to those skilled in the art.
In the following passage, with way of example, the present invention is more specifically described with reference to accompanying drawing.According to the following describes and claims, advantages and features of the invention will be clearer.It should be noted that, accompanying drawing all adopts very the form of simplifying and all uses non-ratio accurately, only in order to convenient, the object of the aid illustration embodiment of the present invention lucidly.
Core concept of the present invention is; a kind of chip testing structure and method of testing thereof are provided; this chip testing structure has the first test metal wire and the second test metal wire of parallel and mutually insulated; and form nonocclusive ring-type around the guard ring of chip separately; and described the first test metal wire is positioned at the outside of described the second test metal wire; the position difference that the chip that chip testing structure of the present invention causes according to different reasons splits; judge; the method is simple, accurate, the reason that the chip after the encapsulation of energy accurate evaluation splits.
In conjunction with above-mentioned core concept, the invention provides a kind of chip testing structure, the reason of splitting for test chip, comprising: the first test metal wire and second parallel and mutually insulated is tested metal wire; Described the first test metal wire and the second test metal wire are same layer metal; Both all have top pad and terminal pad, and form nonocclusive ring-type around the guard ring of chip separately, and described the first test metal wire is positioned at the outside of described the second test metal wire.
