摘要:
Semiconductor device chips manufacturing and inspecting method is disclosed in which a semiconductor wafer is cut into individual LSI chips. The LSI chips are rearranged and integrated into a predetermined number. The cut LSI chips are integrated in a jig having openings with a size commensurate with the dimensions of the LSI chip. At least one part of the jig having such openings has a coefficient of thermal expansion that is approximately equal to that of the LSI chips. The integrated predetermined number of chips are subjected to an inspection process in a subsequent inspection step thereby improving efficiency and reducing cost.

A semiconductor inspection apparatus which is possible to inspect a plurality of semiconductor devices collectively at one time, which has conventionally been difficult because of precision or the like of probes. A method of manufacturing the semiconductor inspection apparatus comprises the steps of forming a cover film on a surface of the silicon substrate and forming a plurality of probes of a polygonal cone shape or a circular cone shape through etching after patterning by photolithography, after the cover film is removed, again forming a cover film on the surface of the silicon substrate and forming a beam or a diaphragm for each probe through etching after patterning by photolithography, after the cover film is removed, again forming a cover film on the surface of the silicon substrate and forming a through hole corresponding to the probe through etching after patterning by photolithography, and after the cover film is removed, forming an insulating film on the surface of the silicon substrate, forming a metal film on a surface of the insulating film, and forming a wiring lead through etching after patterning by photolithography.

摘要:
For an inspection tray, a silicon substrate including a beam or a diaphragm, a probe and wiring is used. To highly accurately position a chip to be inspected, a second substrate for alignment is disposed on the substrate. To position the probe having wiring disposed on the first substrate and the electrode pad of the chip to be inspected, a projection or a groove is formed in each of both substrates. Preferably, the projection or groove should be formed by silicon anisotorpic etching to have a (111) crystal surface. As another machining method, dry etching can be used for machining the positioning projection or groove. By using an inductively coupled plasma-reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE) device for the dry etching, a vertical column or groove can be easily machined.

A structure is provided such that a plural cantilevers are formed on a first board formed of silicon, probes are respectively formed on the individual cantilevers at positions each offset perpendicularly to a longitudinal center line of the cantilever, and wiring connected continuously from each probe to a secondary electrode pad portion through an insulating layer. A structure is alternatively adopted such that by using a both-ends supported beam formed of silicon as the beam, each probe is formed at a position offset toward a supported portion side of the both-ends supported beam.

A semiconductor device testing apparatus is realized, which allows contactors to be positioned throughout the wafer surface highly accurately for uniform contact, testing a large-sized wafer, and cost reduction. A plurality of divided contactor blocks is formed with a positioning groove. The groove is used to position the plurality of contactor blocks with a positioning frame. Because the contactor blocks are divided into plurals, it is less likely that a partial surface distortion affects other portions to impair surface flatness as compared with the case where a plurality of non-divided contactors is formed integrally, and the plurality of contactor blocks can be brought into contact with a wafer to be tested uniformly. Additionally, even though abnormality is generated in a part of the contactor blocks, only the part of the contactor blocks is replaced. Therefore, replacement costs can be reduced as compared with the case where a plurality of non-divided contactors is formed integrally.
