  • Publication number: 20230400478
    Abstract: A liquid cooling system, a liquid cooling method, and an electronic device-testing apparatus having the system are disclosed. When an electronic device is accommodated in a chip slot of a test socket, a cooling liquid supply device supplies a cooling liquid to the chip slot through a fluid inlet portion, and the cooling liquid at least flows over parts of the upper and lower surfaces of the electronic device and then flows out from a fluid outlet portion. The chip slot of the test socket serves as the flow space for the cooling liquid so that the cooling liquid can flow over the upper and lower surfaces of the electronic device, and the electronic device can be immersed in the continuously flowing cooling liquid. The flowing cooling liquid can also take away foreign matter, avoiding the influence of the foreign matter on the test.

  • Patent number: 11841381
    Abstract: A wafer inspection method and inspection apparatus are provided. On a wafer having layout lines connecting electrode points of individual dies in series, the dies within a matrix range are inspected one after another in turn in a column/row control means by a first switch group and a second switch group of a probe card, so that each die is selectively configured in a test loop of a test process by turning on/off of a corresponding switch. Thus, after inspection of a die under inspection (a selected die) within the matrix range is complete, the column/row control means is used to switch to a next die to achieve fast switching. Accordingly, for the inspection procedure of each die within the matrix region, a conventional procedure of moving one after another in turn can be eliminated, significantly reducing the total test time needed and enhancing inspection efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20230105201
    Abstract: A wafer inspection method and inspection apparatus that perform a voltage inspection of a die on a wafer by a probe module. The probe module includes a processing module, a first probe coupled to a first electrode point of the die, and a second probe coupled to a second electrode point of the die. The first probe is coupled to the processing module, and the second probe is grounded. The processing module provides the die with a driving current through the first probe, and obtains an inspection voltage corresponding to the die. The processing module generates an inspection result of the inspection voltage based on two reference voltages respectively representing a high critical threshold value and a low critical threshold value of the die under a normal operation. The inspection result indicates an operating status of the die. Thus, inspection costs are reduced and inspection efficiency is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 9429617
    Abstract: A testing apparatus for flip chip LEDs includes a transparent substrate, a spacing member, a flexible transparent carrier, and a vacuum generator. The spacing member is configured on a first surface of the transparent substrate. The flexible transparent carrier is removably assembled to the spacing member so that a closed space is formed by the flexible transparent carrier, the spacing member, and the first surface of the transparent substrate. The vacuum generator is connected to the closed space for pumping air out of the closed space, and then a part of the transparent substrate clings to the first surface to form a testing area for loading the flip chip LED.

  • Publication number: 20090161311
    Abstract: It's a type of top mount surface airflow heatsink, utilizing the upper ceiling wall separated by an air gap, working together with the upper surface of a heating device (microprocessor) producing an air current. It's a simple device, with a low cost using the Reynolds Equation Re=(?umd)/??2,500; with ? being the fluid density, um being the free-stream fluid velocity, d being the pipe distance or diameter, ? being the fluid viscosity. Since the airflow produces air turbulence, it causes the frequent heat exchanges in the air. It also causes the obvious temperature changes within the different layers of air. Therefore, it increases tremendously, the efficiency of dissipating the heat. It requires only the input of the air. The operation is simple and it allows the usage of even higher heat generating devices. Thus it promotes the alternative usage of this top mount heatsink device within the installation of circuit board components.
