AS 899 Test & Sort
Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
The ASM AS 899 is a test and sort machine. The ASM AS 899 was manufactured in 2014. The ASM AS 899 operates on 50/60 Hz, 230 Vac, 1 phase power.[1][2]
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedTest handlers typically use a pick-and-place mechanism to transfer devices from a tray or tape to a test socket. The handler contacts the device leads or pads, and an external tester sends signals to test the device. After testing, the handler sorts the device to a bin corresponding to its test result. The automation of this process allows high-throughput handling of devices.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedTest and sort machines are used in the final test stage of semiconductor manufacturing, after devices have been packaged. The machines are typically located in the test floor of a fab or an assembly and test facility. The upstream process includes wafer dicing and packaging, while the downstream process is shipping or further system-level testing.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedTest and sort machines are used to test a wide variety of semiconductor devices, including integrated circuits, memory chips, and discrete components. The machines are capable of handling different package types such as ball grid arrays, quad flat packs, and small outline packages. The sorting function allows devices to be categorized by performance grades, such as speed bins or voltage bins.
