What it is

The Seiko Epson NS 8160 W is a handler used in semiconductor test and probe operations.[2]

The NS 8160 W is a Seiko Epson test and probe equipment model.[2][1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A semiconductor test handler moves device units through automated electrical test steps and manages parts as they are presented to test interfaces.

Probe and test equipment in this class supports contact between the device under test and electrical test hardware so that parametric and functional checks can be performed.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The NS 8160 W belongs in back-end semiconductor test flows rather than wafer fabrication steps.

Test handlers support electrical verification before final sorting or downstream packaging operations.

Applications

The NS 8160 W is used for semiconductor test and probe operations.[2]
