然而,近年來在進行汽車之控制系統用半導體等之檢查的情形等中,要求一種可使電流值為10至20A左右之大電流流通的探針。為了因應上述要求,只要使探針之直徑變粗即可。然而,當半導體之電極的最大直徑或間距在1mm以下時,反而會有必須將探針之直徑變細,結果造成容許電容變小之問題。再者,如4端子測定般在1個端子需要有2個探針之檢查時,亦需要細直徑之探針,而不得不減小容許電流。However, in recent years, in the case of performing inspections of semiconductors and the like for control systems for automobiles, a probe that allows a large current having a current value of about 10 to 20 A to flow is required. In order to meet the above requirements, it is only necessary to make the diameter of the probe thick. However, when the maximum diameter or pitch of the electrodes of the semiconductor is 1 mm or less, the diameter of the probe must be made thinner, and as a result, the allowable capacitance becomes small.

Each of the plurality of large diameter holes 522a is coaxially communicated with any of the plurality of large diameter holes 512a. The fourth substrate 52 prevents the small-diameter probe 3 from falling off while the base end portion 32 of the small-diameter probe 3 is exposed.

More specifically, a positional relationship diagram between the large diameter hole 412a and the small diameter hole 511a is shown. The distance H between the central axes of the large diameter holes 412a is larger than the distance h between the central axes of the small diameter holes 511a. Further, in the large hole portion 4a and the small hole portion 5a which are connected, the distance between the central axis of the large diameter hole 412a and the central axis of the small diameter hole 511a is the central axis of the large hole portion 4a and the central axis of the small hole portion 5a. The distance d is equal. By setting the positional relationship between the large hole portion 4a and the small hole portion 5a, the pitch of the small diameter probe 3 side in contact with the inspection object can be made narrower than the pitch of the large diameter probe 2 side.

第3圖係顯示探針單元1之組裝的概要圖。在組裝探針單元1之際,以使大徑探針保持具4之第2基板42與小徑探針保持具5之第4基板52相對向之方式組合2個探針保持具後,利用螺絲等加以固定。此外,在大徑探針保持具4及小徑探針保持具5分別先設置定位用之開口部,再藉由將定位插銷***大徑探針保持具4之開口部及對應該開口部之小徑探針保持具5之開口部而進行兩者之定位的話,即可更容易且迅速地進行探針單元1之組裝。Fig. 3 is a schematic view showing the assembly of the probe unit 1. When the probe unit 1 is assembled, the two probe holders are combined so that the second substrate 42 of the large-diameter probe holder 4 and the fourth substrate 52 of the small-diameter probe holder 5 are opposed to each other. Screws, etc. are fixed. Further, the large-diameter probe holder 4 and the small-diameter probe holder 5 are respectively provided with opening portions for positioning, and the positioning pins are inserted into the opening portions of the large-diameter probe holder 4 and the corresponding opening portions. When the small-diameter probe holder 5 is positioned to perform positioning of both, the assembly of the probe unit 1 can be performed more easily and quickly.

第4圖係顯示探針單元1之整體構成及使用探針單元1之半導體積體電路之電氣特性檢查之概要的斜視圖。在探針單元1中,在大徑探針保持具4及小徑探針保持具5之外周設置有抑制檢查時產生半導體積體電路100之位置偏離的保持具構件6。在保持具構件6之底面側,安裝有具備用以輸出檢查用信號之電路的電路基板200。Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing an outline of the overall configuration of the probe unit 1 and the electrical characteristic inspection of the semiconductor integrated circuit using the probe unit 1. In the probe unit 1, on the outer circumference of the large-diameter probe holder 4 and the small-diameter probe holder 5, a holder member 6 that suppresses a positional deviation of the semiconductor integrated circuit 100 during inspection is provided. A circuit board 200 having a circuit for outputting an inspection signal is attached to the bottom surface side of the holder member 6.

第5圖係顯示半導體積體電路100之檢查時之探針單元1之主要部分構成的局部剖面圖。在第5圖所示之狀態下,大徑探針2係藉由與電路基板200之電極201接觸而於圖中承受向上之力。另一方面,小徑探針3係藉由與半導體積體電路100之電極101接觸而於圖中承受向下之力。因此,大徑探針2之彈簧構件22係比小徑探針3未與半導體積體電路100之電極101接觸的狀態更沿著長度方向收縮。Fig. 5 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the configuration of a main part of the probe unit 1 at the time of inspection of the semiconductor integrated circuit 100. In the state shown in Fig. 5, the large-diameter probe 2 is subjected to an upward force in the drawing by being in contact with the electrode 201 of the circuit board 200. On the other hand, the small-diameter probe 3 is subjected to a downward force in the drawing by being in contact with the electrode 101 of the semiconductor integrated circuit 100. Therefore, the spring member 22 of the large-diameter probe 2 is contracted more in the longitudinal direction than the state in which the small-diameter probe 3 is not in contact with the electrode 101 of the semiconductor integrated circuit 100.

在半導體積體電路100之檢查時產生的檢查用信號係透過電路基板200之電極201而經由大徑探針2之第1柱塞21、密捲繞部22a、第2柱塞23後,經由小徑探針3到達半導體積體電路100之電極101。如此,在大徑探針2中,由於第1柱塞21與第2柱塞23經由密捲繞部22a而導通,因此可將電氣信號之導通路徑設為最小。因此,防止檢查時信號流入疏捲繞部22b,而可謀求電感及電阻之減低及穩定化。The inspection signal generated during the inspection of the semiconductor integrated circuit 100 passes through the electrode 201 of the circuit board 200 and passes through the first plunger 21, the dense winding portion 22a, and the second plunger 23 of the large diameter probe 2, and then The small diameter probe 3 reaches the electrode 101 of the semiconductor integrated circuit 100. As described above, in the large diameter probe 2, since the first plunger 21 and the second plunger 23 are electrically connected via the dense winding portion 22a, the conduction path of the electrical signal can be minimized. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the signal from flowing into the unwinding portion 22b during the inspection, and it is possible to reduce and stabilize the inductance and the resistance.

當探針單元1反覆進行檢查時,小徑探針3係於每次檢查會反覆進行與電極101之接觸/分離,因此會有因長期之使用造成前端部31磨耗或小徑探針3破損之情形。此種情形時,在本實施形態中,由於可從大徑探針保持具4拆下小徑探針保持具5,因此可簡單地僅更換小徑探針3。When the probe unit 1 is repeatedly inspected, the small-diameter probe 3 is repeatedly brought into contact with and separated from the electrode 101 every time, so that the front end portion 31 is worn or the small-diameter probe 3 is damaged due to long-term use. The situation. In this case, in the present embodiment, since the small-diameter probe holder 5 can be removed from the large-diameter probe holder 4, only the small-diameter probe 3 can be easily replaced.

依據以上說明之本發明之一實施形態,由於藉由在使彼此之軸線偏離之狀態下組合大徑探針與小徑探針而構成一組探針,因此即使在對應檢查對象之間距的窄小化時,不使探針之兩方端部細徑化亦可。因此,可抑制起因於探針之細徑化所造成的容許電流之降低。According to an embodiment of the present invention described above, since a large-diameter probe and a small-diameter probe are combined in a state in which the axes of the two are offset from each other, a set of probes is formed, so that the distance between the objects to be inspected is narrow. When the size is small, the diameter of both ends of the probe may not be reduced. Therefore, the decrease in the allowable current due to the reduction in the diameter of the probe can be suppressed.

此外,依據本實施形態,可將歷時性劣化顯著而為接觸電阻值之增加之最大要因的小徑探針於大徑探針之外獨立地更換,因此可簡單地進行維護。此外,由於僅更換小徑探針,因此大徑探針保持具側若無特別問題,則可継續使用。因此,可節省大徑探針,而具經濟性。Further, according to the present embodiment, the small-diameter probe which is distinguished by the deterioration of the chronological resistance and which is the largest factor of the increase in the contact resistance value can be independently replaced outside the large-diameter probe, so that the maintenance can be easily performed. In addition, since only the small-diameter probe is replaced, the large-diameter probe holder side can be used continuously without any particular problem. Therefore, the large diameter probe can be saved and it is economical.

再者,依據本實施形態,由於個別地加工大徑探針之第2柱塞及小徑探針,因此與將大徑探針與小徑探針予以偏置(offset)而一體成形之情形相比較更容易加工。Further, according to the present embodiment, since the second plunger and the small-diameter probe of the large-diameter probe are individually processed, the large-diameter probe and the small-diameter probe are offset and integrally formed. It is easier to process than it is.

將大徑探針與小徑探針予以偏置而一體成形時,探針並未形成軸對稱之形狀。因此,在將一體成形之探針收容於探針保持具時,必須留意供對應於小徑探針之部分插通之孔部的位置來進行定位,而有探針之收容費工夫的問題。相對於此,在本實施形態中,由於將大徑探針與小徑探針予以分離,而使各探針形成軸對稱之形狀,因此可容易地將各探針收容在探針保持具。When the large diameter probe and the small diameter probe are biased and integrally formed, the probe does not form an axisymmetric shape. Therefore, when the integrally formed probe is housed in the probe holder, it is necessary to pay attention to the position of the hole portion corresponding to the portion through which the small-diameter probe is inserted, and there is a problem in that the probe is charged. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the large-diameter probe and the small-diameter probe are separated, the probes are formed in an axisymmetric shape, so that the probes can be easily accommodated in the probe holder.

再者,依據本實施形態,藉由使第2柱塞之第2基端部比第1柱塞之第1基端部更長,即可抑制施加有負載時之繞著與第2柱塞的長度方向正交之軸的旋轉。因此,第2柱塞之凸緣部或第2基端部不會卡住探針保持具或彈簧構件,而可使第2柱塞順暢地上下移動。Further, according to the present embodiment, by making the second proximal end portion of the second plunger longer than the first proximal end portion of the first plunger, it is possible to suppress the winding around the second plunger when a load is applied The rotation of the axis orthogonal to the length direction. Therefore, the flange portion or the second base end portion of the second plunger does not catch the probe holder or the spring member, and the second plunger can be smoothly moved up and down.

再者,依據本實施形態,施加於彈簧構件之密捲繞部之橫負載(起因於大徑探針及小徑探針之軸線偏離造成第2柱塞之傾斜所產生之旋轉負載),係由於第2柱塞之基端部較長而減少,並維持行程時之密捲繞部的密捲繞。因此,發揮密捲繞部22a之電阻值穩定的效果。Further, according to the present embodiment, the lateral load applied to the densely wound portion of the spring member (the rotational load caused by the inclination of the second plunger due to the deviation of the axis of the large-diameter probe and the small-diameter probe) is Since the base end portion of the second plunger is long, it is reduced, and the tight winding of the densely wound portion at the time of the stroke is maintained. Therefore, the effect of stabilizing the resistance value of the densely wound portion 22a is exhibited.

由以上說明得知,本發明係可包含在此未記載之各式各樣之實施形態等者,在不脫離由申請專利範圍所特定之技術思想的範圍內可施行各種設計變更。It is to be understood that the present invention may be embodied in various embodiments and the various embodiments of the present invention, and various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
