Micro Precision Force Measurement Platform
challenge
A US manufacturer supplying interconnect components to the semiconductor industry required an automated, contact force measurement system capable of measuring compression forces of very small devices on a 300mm substrate.
Scaling their products for the larger wafer size, the customer required an easily configurable system for testing thousands of measurements over a multitude of part types at a rate of up to 3,000 tests per hour, providing accurate force and height data.
solution
To measure the device accurately, the system was required to measure forces between 0-30 grams over a 50µm compressed distance. The device height values had to be determined to within ±2.5µm over the entire 300mm envelope. To meet these requirements, the team designed a standard platform for testing the device. Features of the platform include:
- Mapping of the XY axes using a glass reticle grid plate to improve XY accuracy
- Automatic mapping of the Z axis to an optical flat to provide planar accuracy
- Custom, low mass, air bearing Z-axis stage with voice coil servo motor and accelerometer utilizing servo system and feed-forward algorithms to precisely measure force and height
- Automatic mapping of force constants within 0.019 N/mm
- Automatic mapping of measured heights within 2.5µm
