Test method of semiconductor devices
View Patent ↗A contactor apparatus having a first contactor ( 2 ) and a second contactor ( 4 ) acquires an electrical conduction to a plurality of semiconductor devices formed on a semiconductor wafer ( 6 ). The first contactor ( 2 ) has contacts ( 2 b ) which are directly brought into contact with power supply terminals ( 6 a ) of the semiconductor devices. The second contactor ( 4 ) is movable relative to the first contactor ( 2 ) and has contacts ( 4 a ) which are brought into contact with signal terminals ( 6 b ) of the semiconductor devices. Thereby, the number of contacts to be formed on a single contactor can be reduced and the number of pattern wirings can also be reduced, which makes the fabrication of the contactor easier.
1. A test method for testing a plurality of semiconductor devices formed on a semiconductor wafer, comprising;
a step of attaching said semiconductor wafer to a predetermined position of a cassette;
a step of placing and fixing a first contactor to said semiconductor wafer, the first contactor having contacts which are directly brought into contact with power supply terminals formed on the semiconductor devices of said semiconductor wafer;
a step of electrically connecting contacts of a second contactor to signal terminals formed on the semiconductor devices of said semiconductor wafer; and
a step of testing said semiconductor devices by inputting signals to said semiconductor devices through said second contactor while supplying a power to said semiconductor devices through said first contactor so as to detect outputs corresponding to the signals; wherein
pattern wirings connected to the first and second contactors corresponding to the terminals formed on the semiconductor wafer is distributed to the first contactor and the second contactor.
2. The test method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the step of testing includes a step of sequentially testing said semiconductor devices while moving said second contactor.
3. The test method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the step of testing includes a step of performing a test while controlling a temperature of said semiconductor wafer through said second contactor.
4. The test method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the step of testing includes a step of performing a test while controlling a temperature of said semiconductor wafer through said cassette.
5. The test method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the step of testing includes a step of performing a test while controlling a temperature of said semiconductor wafer through said second contactor.
6. The test method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the step of testing includes a step of performing a test while controlling a temperature of said semiconductor wafer through said cassette.
