Temperature and voltage controlled integrated circuit processes
Abstract:
The present application relates to apparatus and methods for burn-in and other diagnostics performed on integrated circuits. In one embodiment, the invention includes a plurality of sockets, each to hold an integrated circuit (IC), and coupling power to the respective IC from a remote power supply, a plurality of voltage detectors, each coupled to a socket to sense the voltage of the power coupled to the respective IC, and a plurality of remote voltage regulators, each coupled between the power supply and a respective socket, to receive the sensed voltage from the respective voltage detector and to adjust the voltage of the respective coupled power in accordance therewith.
