    摘要: A cover assembly for a socket suitable to accommodate modules of varying thicknesses which can be advantageously used for final test and burn-in test is described. The assembly is characterized by having a low profile and includes a hinged lid; a floating shaft coupled to two cams pivoting on the floating shaft; a locking member positioned between the two cams for locking the hinged lid when in a closed position, the locking member pivoting about the floating shaft; a pressure plate for forcing the module into the socket; and stiffening members integral to the hinged lid located on opposing sides of the hinged lid and below the surface of the pressure plate for providing added strength to the assembly. The assembly also includes a heatsink inserted through an aperture located in the pressure plate, to directly contact the chip which is mounted on the module. The force applied to the chip is independent of the force applied to the module.

    摘要: An apparatus for simultaneously testing or burning in a large number of the integrated circuit chips on a product wafer includes probes mounted on a first board and tester chips mounted on a second board, there being electrical connectors connecting the two boards. The tester chips are for distributing power to the product chips or for testing the product chips. The probes and thin film wiring to which they are attached are personalized for the pad footprint of the particular wafer being probed. The base of the first board and the second board both remain the same for all wafers in a product family. The use of two boards provides that the tester chip is kept at a substantially lower temperature than the product chips during burning to extend the lifetime of tester chips. A gap can be used as thermal insulation between the boards, and the gap sealed and evacuated for further thermal insulation. Evacuation also provides atmospheric pressure augmentation of contact for connection between boards and contact to wafer. Probes for parallel testing of chips are arranged in crescent shaped stripes to significantly increase tester throughput as compared with probes arranged in an area array.

    摘要: A liquid thermal interface (LTI) including a mixture of a linearly structured polymer doped with crosslinked networks and related method are presented. The LTI exhibits reduced liquid polymer macromolecule mobility, and thus increased surface tension. An embodiment of the method includes mixing a crosslinker with a linearly structured polymer to form a mixture, wherein the crosslinker includes a base agent including a vinyl-terminated or branched polydimethylsiloxane, and a curing agent including a hydrogen-terminated polydimethylsiloxane; and curing the mixture. The crosslinker functions as cages to block linear or branched linear macromolecules and prevents them from sliding into each other, thus increasing surface tension of the resulting LTI.

    摘要: A socket for testing or burning-in electronic components has a cover including a heat sink and a sensor. The heat sink and sensor are spring loaded so they make direct, temporary contact to an electronic component in the socket during burn-in. A heat transferring device is coupled to each heat sink. The heat transferring device uses input from the sensor to provide heat or cooling to each heat sink to individually control the temperature of each component. The heat transferring device can be an electric heater or a cooling device, such as a fan. Both can also be used. A plurality of these sockets are used in a forced air convective oven for burning-in a plurality of electronic components at one time. The oven provides oven heating and cooling for all components while the socket heater and sensor provide individual temperature control for each component.

    摘要: The subject invention encompasses a thermal processing furnace having an elongated cylindrical processing chamber surrounding a tower assembly capable of receiving one or more articles to be processed. A pedestal assembly supports the tower assembly and contains a quartz door thereon which is axially translatable relative to the processing chamber into an inserted position where the tower assembly is inserted into the processing chamber. A quartz flange located along the perimeter of an opening at the end of the processing chamber contacts the quartz door forming a quartz seal therewith when the pedestal assembly is moved into the inserted position. A scavenger cavity is located at the end of the chamber having the opening therein and is in fluid flow relationship with the contact area between the quartz flange and the quartz door forming a quartz seal. Gas from within the processing chamber which may leak through the quartz seal is captured by the scavenger cavity and evacuated by an evacuation means.
