What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

IC handlers are automated machines used in semiconductor test operations to move packaged devices through a test cell. IC handlers generally present parts to associated electrical test hardware, sort devices according to test outcome, and maintain repeatable mechanical handling during high volume device screening.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

IC handlers typically singulate packaged semiconductor devices from input media, transport the devices through positioning hardware, and interface the devices with a test contact site. IC handlers commonly use controlled pick and place, indexing, or turret style motion to keep device orientation consistent while parts are loaded, tested, and binned. IC handlers commonly operate as automation platforms around the electrical test interface rather than performing the electrical measurement function themselves.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

IC handlers are used in back end semiconductor manufacturing after devices have been packaged. IC handlers sit around final test or screening steps where packaged parts are repeatedly loaded to a tester, contacted, evaluated, and then sorted for subsequent packing, quality flow, or additional inspection.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

IC handlers are applied to automated handling of packaged integrated circuits during electrical test. IC handlers are used where device orientation control, repeatable placement, and output sorting are needed for production test flows involving packaged semiconductor parts.
