Standardized probe card substrate and assembly fixture

Fixture, vision alignment, recipe and post-assembly validation

MEMS Probe Card Pin-Assembly Equipment

The assembly station is built around the probe, substrate, fixture and datum. Vision-assisted alignment, recipe control and exception records manage the process, while AOI, XYZ, Pin Force and electrical checks close the post-assembly loop.

Category visual for assembly fixture and substrate. Actual station, holding and datum are sample-designed.

Applications

Designed for the following probe card manufacturing, test and maintenance tasks.

New card introduction

Establish process windows and fixture design from probe type, substrate and datum.

Manual-process standardization

Turn operator-dependent steps into recipes, images, judgements and exception records.

Post-assembly quality loop

Relate AOI, XYZ, probe height/force and electrical results to the assembly lot.

WORKFLOW

Workflow

01

Decompose sample and process

Confirm probe type, substrate, holding, datum, sequence and failure modes.

02

Run fixture and vision experiments

Verify accessibility, alignment method, field of view, image quality and exception handling.

03

Recipe-controlled assembly

Place actions, parameters, operator and materials under controlled recipes.

04

Validate after assembly

Run project-selected AOI, XYZ, Pin Force or electrical checks and write results back to the lot.

FAT / SAT

Project delivery

01

Sample evaluation

Confirm the object, interfaces, current state, failure modes and available validation samples.

02

Technical agreement

Define configuration, measurement method, limits, takt, data interfaces and responsibilities.

03

FAT

Verify functions, repeatability, reporting and exception handling with agreed samples.

04

SAT

Complete site integration, training, upstream/downstream interfaces and issue closure.

CONFIGURATION

Configuration and acceptance

System configuration, optional items and acceptance conditions are summarized below.

Process parameters

Position accuracy and UPH are established with the target probe, substrate and fixture.

Quality control

Measurement method, repeatability and acceptance limits are verified with real samples.

Delivery scope

Fixture, algorithm, takt and post-check combination are defined in project documents and verified through FAT/SAT.
