20080231260 | PUSHER FOR MATCH PLATE OF TEST HANDLER - A pusher for a match plate of a test handler is disclosed which assists a tester to test the produced semiconductor devices. The pusher includes: a body part installed to an installation plate; and a pushing part that extends forward from a front side of the body part, for pushing a semiconductor device placed on an insert of a test tray. The pusher forms: an air through hole that extends through from a rear side of the body part to the front side of the pushing part, for guiding air of a certain temperature, supplied to the rear side of the body part from a duct, to be supplied to the semiconductor device; and at least one or more air outflow holes that extend through from at least one side of the pushing part and communicate with the air through hole, for allowing part of the air supplied from the duct through the air through hole to flow out to a test site. The pusher can reduce the temperature deviation of semiconductor devices at the test site. | 09-25-2008 |
20080238470 | OPERATING METHOD OF TEST HANDLER - Operation methods of test handler are disclosed. The pick-and-place apparatus picks up semiconductor devices from first loading compartments arrayed in a matrix on a first loading element, moves, and places onto second loading compartments arrayed in a matrix on a second loading element. Pickers of the pick-and-place apparatus pick up the semiconductor devices from the first loading compartments and place them selectively onto a plurality of adjacent odd rows or a plurality of adjacent even rows of the second loading compartments during one operation. The pick-and-place apparatus includes a relatively large number of the pickers, preferably arrayed in a matrix, and thus performs loading and unloading of semiconductor devices at a relatively high speed. | 10-02-2008 |
20090148257 | Test Handler - A test handler is disclosed in the present invention. The test handler may include a test tray on which a plurality of inserts are arrayed for loading at least one semiconductor device, at least one opening unit for simultaneously opening one part of the plurality of inserts which are arrayed on one part of the test tray, and a test tray transfer apparatus for allowing the opening unit to simultaneously open other parts of the plurality of inserts which are arrayed on another part of the test tray as the test tray is transferred. Therefore, although semiconductor devices to be tested change their sizes, the replaced parts of the test handler are reduced in number, thereby reducing manufacturing cost and replacement work time. The inventive test handler reduces semiconductor devices loading time, reduces jamming, increases teaching efficiency and improves space utilization efficiency. Furthermore, the test handler can be applied to various types of testers. | 06-11-2009 |
20100001753 | Position changing apparatus for test handler and power transferring apparatus - A test handler is disclosed. A posture changing unit for changing a posture of a test tray on which semiconductor devices have been loaded changes the posture of the test tray in a soak chamber. While the posture of the test tray is changed, the devices can be pre-heated/pre-cooled, thereby reducing the soak chamber length and the pre-heating/pre-cooling time. | 01-07-2010 |
20100097089 | Test Handler and Loading Method Thereof - When a test handler loads semiconductor devices of user trays onto a test tray, the test handler adjusts a front/rear pitch or a right/left pitch between the semiconductor devices, adjusts the right/left pitch or the front/rear pitch, and loads the semiconductor devices. The test handler can sequentially adjust individually the front/rear pitch and the right/left pitch between the semiconductor devices, thereby reducing the apparatus weight and the loading time. | 04-22-2010 |

20100316478 | PICK-AND-PLACE MODULE FOR TEST HANDLER - A pick-and-place module for test handlers is disclosed that includes a main body and a kit. The main body forms vacuum paths therein and the kit also forms vacuum passages therein. The kit is detachably mounted to the main body in a hook coupling manner. The pick-and-place module can be applied to all customer trays having different loading capabilities when only the kit of the pick-and-place module needs to be replaced, so there is no need to manufacture the entire pick-and-place module and this reduces manufacturing costs. The pick-and-place module can reduce the amount of resources to be replaced and reduce the replacement time since the kit can be easily removed from the main body of the pick-and-place module in a hook manner. | 12-16-2010 |
20110008144 | PICK AND PLACE APPARATUS FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE INSPECTION EQUIPMENT, PICKING APPARATUS THEREOF, AND METHOD FOR LOADING ELECTRONIC DEVICES ONTO LOADING ELEMENT - A technology related to a pick-and-place apparatus for electronic device inspection equipment is provided. The pick-and-place apparatus includes the guiding unit that can interact with a loading element and can guide the picker to load the electronic devices at a correct position on the loading element. Therefore, the pick-and-place apparatus can allow the electronic devices, for example, semiconductor devices having a ball type of electrical contact lead (BGA, FBGA, etc.), to electrically contact the tester in a stable manner when the tester inspects the electronic devices. | 01-13-2011 |
