Abstract
Description
本發明是有關一種探針插座結構,特別是指一種探針插座結構的製作方法。The invention relates to a probe socket structure, in particular to a manufacturing method of the probe socket structure.
積體電路(integrated circuit,IC)無論在封裝前或封裝後都需經過測試系統測試,除了用以進行良品篩選,還能提取各種電氣特性參數,建立用於電路設計的器件模型,進而提升產品的市場競爭力。Integrated circuits (integrated circuit, IC) need to be tested by the test system before or after packaging. In addition to screening good products, various electrical characteristic parameters can be extracted to establish device models for circuit design, thereby improving products. market competitiveness.
利用探針進行IC測試,無需製作專門的測試夾具,可以節省大量測試成本。現今應用於同軸插座(coaxial socket)的製作方法,亦即一種探針插座的製作方法,需優先進行座體(housing)鑽孔,之後灌膠於孔內形成灌膠層,再進行灌膠層鑽孔,最後才植針。由此可見,傳統探針插座的製作步驟繁瑣,且精密度要求高,更不易控制。進一步而言,現有製程方法存在如下缺點:1. 膠層鑽孔不易控制,因膠層質地較軟,鑽孔困難度大,容易造成孔徑大小或成孔位置不符要求的問題;2. 灌膠須注意平坦度,平坦度影響電性特性;3. 膠層是否與探針緊密無法從外檢查;4. 現有製程方法阻抗控制不易,影響高頻電氣特性;5. 先座體鑽孔後灌膠層鑽孔的工序無法分割,耗時而不利於產能提升。以上任一流程若失誤,會使整個socket無法再使用,降低良率,導致高昂的時間成本及製作成本。Using probes for IC testing does not need to make special test fixtures, which can save a lot of testing costs.

The glue filling Attention should be paid to the flatness, which affects the electrical characteristics; 3. Whether the adhesive layer is tightly connected to the probe cannot be checked from the outside; 4. The existing process method is not easy to control the impedance, which affects the high-frequency electrical characteristics; 5. Drilling the base first and then filling The drilling process of the adhesive layer cannot be divided, which is time-consuming and not conducive to the improvement of production capacity. Any mistake in the above process will make the entire socket unusable, reduce the yield rate, and lead to high time cost and production cost.
