Testing method for optoelectronic chips on a wafer
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11906579B2) outlines a method for testing optoelectronic chips on a wafer, featuring a unique approach to aligning optical deflection elements with optical interfaces. The method involves a positioning table that can be adjusted in multiple directions and rotated, allowing for precise alignment of electrical and optical interfaces. By feeding the wafer to a contacting module and aligning the optical deflection elements with the optical interfaces, the method ensures proper routing of electrical and optical signals between the interfaces. The alignment process involves deflecting the positioning table in the X and Y directions to achieve optimal coupling of optical signals, followed by adjusting the chips in the X-Y direction based on the coupling angle of the optical deflection element.
Furthermore, the patent describes additional features of the method, such as storing position differences as offsets for adjusting further chips, monitoring the optical working distance for changes in pressing force, and replacing needles when the optical working distance decreases. The method also addresses issues related to over-radiation and radiation intensity distribution of optical signals when coupled into the interfaces. These innovative techniques aim to enhance the testing process for optoelectronic chips on a wafer, ensuring accurate alignment and signal routing for efficient testing and quality control.
