Abstract: A semiconductor inspecting method for ensuring a scrubbing length on a pad includes following steps. First off, a first position of a probe needle from above is defined. In addition, a wafer comprising at least a pad is placed on a wafer chuck of a semiconductor inspecting system. Thereafter, a relative vertical movement between the probe needle and the pad is made by adopting a driving system of the semiconductor inspecting system to generate a scrubbing length on the pad. Next, whether the scrubbing length is equal to or larger than a preset value or not is recognized by adopting the vision system and the relative vertical movement is stopped by adopting the driving system.

Abstract: A probe assembly, adapted to test high-speed signal transmission lines of printed circuit boards, includes two pogo pins for providing high-frequency differential test signals, and both sides of the pogo pin include no metal layer (grounding layer). Experiments have found that when the two pogo pins test a to-be-tested object, the test signal will be coupled to the metal layers on both sides of the pogo pins to generate a radiation resonance, resulting in a loss of the test signal on a specific frequency band, and further reducing the effective bandwidth of the probe assembly. The metal layers on both sides of the pogo pins of the probe assembly are reduced, so that the foregoing radiation resonance phenomenon can be avoided.

Abstract: A method of determining a first distance between a probe and a wafer held by a wafer probe station includes adjusting a microscope at a specific magnification; moving the microscope perpendicularly relative to a chuck to focus on the chuck to obtain a clear image of the chuck; defining a specific position of the microscope after the clear image of the chuck is obtained; maintaining the specific magnification of the microscope and moving the microscope perpendicularly relative to the chuck from the specific position by a travelling distance to focus on the probe to obtain a clear image of the probe; and determining the travelling distance minus a thickness of a wafer to be placed on a side of the chuck facing to the microscope as the first distance between the probe and the wafer.

Abstract: A light emitting element detecting method and a light emitting element detecting equipment adapted for the method are discloses. The method includes the steps of generating a first control signal to open a shutter of an image capturing device which captures an image toward a light outlet of a light emitting element, generating a pulse signal to light up the light emitting element, generating a second control signal to close the shutter of the image capturing device and obtaining a detection image, and determining the light emitting status of the light outlet of the light emitting element according to the detection image. As a result, the present invention can accurately detect whether the light outlet of the light emitting element has the problem of emitting no light or flashing.

Abstract: A probe head includes a linear probe which is flattened at at least one of tail, body and head portions thereof and thereby defined with first and second width axes, along which each of the tail, body and head portions is defined with first and second widths, and upper and lower die units having upper and lower installation holes respectively, wherein the tail and head portions are inserted respectively, which are offset from each other along the second width axis so that the body portion is curved. The first and second widths of the body portion are respectively larger and smaller than the first and second widths of at least one of the tail and head portions. As a result, the probes of the same probe head are consistent in bending direction and moving behavior and prevented from rotation, drop and escape.

Abstract: A wafer inspection method was provided. A motorized chuck stage is controlled by a control rod to be displaced between an upper position and a lower position of an adjustment range along a Z-axis direction, to change a relative position of a wafer on the motorized chuck stage relative to a probe. The control rod is movable between an upper limit position and a lower limit position in a displacement range. The wafer inspection method includes: determining a position of the control rod in the displacement range based on a measurement signal; determining a moving direction and a moving distance of the control rod based on a change of the measurement signal; generating a control signal based on the moving distance of the control rod; and controlling, based on the control signal, the motorized chuck stage and a camera stage to be displaced the same distance.
