The Advantest M 6541 A is a dynamic test handler used in semiconductor testing. The M 6541 A is Year 2000 ready from operating system version 1.00.[1]
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA test handler is semiconductor test floor equipment that presents packaged devices to an electrical test system in a controlled sequence. Test handlers generally move parts through loading, positioning, contact, sorting, and unloading so the tester can apply measurements to each device.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedTest handlers generally automate the transfer of semiconductor devices from an input supply to a contact position at the tester interface. Test handlers generally synchronize mechanical part handling with the tester so each device is presented, tested, and then routed to an output path according to the test result.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA test handler operates in the electrical test stage for packaged semiconductor devices. A test handler is used after assembly and before final packing or subsequent screening steps so devices can be contacted and sorted according to test outcomes.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedTest handlers are used for production and characterization flows in packaged semiconductor device testing. Test handlers support repetitive device presentation and sorting in operations where electrical verification must be performed across many parts.
