What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA test handler typically receives devices in tubes, trays, or tape-and-reel and presents them one at a time to a test head containing a socket or contactor. After electrical testing, the handler mechanically sorts each device into one of several output bins according to test results.
The handling mechanism may use gravity feed, vibratory bowl, or pick-and-place robotics to position devices accurately at the test site. Temperature control systems can apply hot, cold, or ambient conditions during testing.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn semiconductor manufacturing, final test handlers like the MT 8501 are used after wafer probing, dicing, and packaging. The handler takes assembled and packaged devices, performs final electrical test, and sorts them into grades or rejects.
