What it is

The Ismeca HEADB 046 NX is a semiconductor test handler.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A test handler receives devices from an input magazine or tube and delivers them to a test site using a mechanical transport system such as a gravity track or a pick-and-place arm.

At the test site the handler aligns each device to the contact pins of a test socket, which connects the device to an external tester.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Test handlers operate in the final test stage of semiconductor manufacturing, after wafer dicing and packaging but before shipping to customers.

In a probe application the handler may also perform wafer-level testing, contacting un-diced dies on a wafer for early screening.
