Patent ID: 7414422

Claim:
A system in-package test inspection apparatus for measuring and evaluating the high-speed/high frequency characteristic of a system in-package through an electrode pad in which I/O terminals are formed on one side of an LSI package containing metallic wiring internally and plural LSI chips are stacked in multiple layers on the other face while electric connection between the LSI chip and the LSI package and the electric connection between the LSI chips are implemented, the system in-package test inspection apparatus comprising: a movable stage which is movable in three directions, X, Y and Z-axes; a printed wiring board to which the I/O terminals of the system in-package are connected comprising means for enabling transmission of high speed and high frequency signals by forming a signal transmission wire having a coaxial line structure that a signal line is surrounded by insulating layer with its outside covered with sealing electrode, the printed wiring board being mounted on the movable stage; a contact probe having a contact electrode which has a signal electrode and a ground electrode with a distance between the signal electrode and the ground electrode from 20 μm to 100 μm and comprising means for transmitting a high frequency signal, the contact probe being disposed on a probe supporting body installed on the movable stage; evaluation signal generating means for supplying a high frequency evaluation signal to the contact probe; output signal detecting means for detecting an output signal of the system in-package through the printed wiring board; analyzing means for analyzing a signal detected by the output signal detecting means; wherein said movable stage for connecting the contact electrode of the contact probe with said electrode pad formed on one of the plural LSI chips stacked in multiple layers adjusts the contact electrode in position in terms of three directions, X, Y, Z and rotation direction, wherein the evaluation signal of the evaluation signal generating means is not inputted to the LSI chip through metallic wiring within the LSI package.
