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
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA test handler transports packaged semiconductor devices from input trays to test sockets that interface with a test head. The handler positions each device precisely for electrical testing. After testing, the handler sorts the devices into output bins based on the test results.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedTest handlers are used after wafer dicing and packaging, during final test of semiconductor devices. The handler operates in conjunction with a separate automatic test equipment system that performs the electrical measurements. Following test, the devices move to marking, taping, or direct shipping steps.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Advantest M 6541 A is a dynamic test handler, meaning it is designed for functional testing of semiconductor devices such as memory and logic integrated circuits. Such handlers handle high-volume final test in semiconductor assembly and test facilities.
