1 Contents A test-setup for probe card characterization under Background production-like / Motivation operating conditions Third level 16pt Fourth level 14pt Michael Horn, Stephan Fuchs» Fifth level 12pt Infineon Technologies - Munich / Germany Page 1 Presentation for SWTW 2004

2 Outline Background / Motivation Test Concept Requirements Test Setup Probe-Card Measurement Results Summary Page 2

3 Background strong need for probe card evaluation process for: new probing technologies ( pad arrangements, pitch, multi DUT) new products: (materials, BEOL-stack) short time-to-market prohibits iterative improvement process evaluation process needs to start earlier missing links in the evaluation process: reliable prediction of c res performance c res stability under manufacturing conditions Page 3

Probe-Card Tester Test Program Product Wfrs. Probe-Card New Probing Requirements PC Characterization Early Life Qualification Production Evaluation Production Release Specification Qual d Technologies Preferred Vendors Contact Stability Cleaning Recipe PC Planarity Prober Alignment Measurement - Stability Scrub Analysis incoming QC Yield Stability Cleaning Freq. Handling Issues Page 4

5 Test Concept - Requirements test scenario as close as possible to real probing conditions force current through contacts probing parameter variation temperature overdrive chuck-speed high number of Touch-Downs different contact materials Evaluation should be possible w/o specific product or test-chip amount of test-chip and/or product wfrs limited product schedule can be shifted low cost & flexible setup use existing equipment & h/w (but no tester) flexible channel assignment (Vcc, GND) Page 5

15 Measurement Results 3/3 cres starts to increase Page 15

16 Summary test-setup can identify contact-resistance issues better than using a product (no interpretation of test-data required) test setup enables us to assess performance trend of Probe-Cards in an early project phase less resources required during evaluation phase (ATE resources and test code development resources) Page 16
