A burn-in board for burn-in and electrical testing of a plurality of integrated circuit devices that is disposed in one or more processing trays may include a substrate having an interface surface and a plurality of electrical contacts disposed on the interface surface for establishing, through engagement with the one or more processing trays, electrical communication between the leads of the integrated circuit devices and a tester. One or more ports may be defined in the substrate so as to extend between the interface surface and another surface of the substrate wherein the port or ports are sized and configured to enable application of a negative pressure between the substrate and the one or more processing trays upon engagement of the substrate therewith and upon application of a vacuum through the one or more ports.
