    Abstract: An apparatus for testing semiconductor devices is disclosed. In one example, the apparatus includes a rolling contactor comprising a first cylindrical rotatable holder, a plurality of test pin sets, each one of the test pin sets being connected to the cylindrical rotatable holder. Each one of the test pin sets comprises a plurality of test pins, and a substrate configured to support a plurality of semiconductor devices. The semiconductor devices comprising one or more contact elements on a main surface thereof remote from the substrate, wherein the first cylindrical rotatable holder and the substrate are arranged relative to each other so that due to a rotating movement of the first cylindrical rotatable holder the test pins of the test pin sets are successively contacted with the contact elements of the semiconductor devices.

    Abstract: A lead frame strip includes connected unit lead frames each having a die paddle, a tie bar directly connecting the die paddle to a periphery of the unit lead frame, leads directly connected to the periphery of the unit lead frame and projecting toward the die paddle, and an opening in the periphery adjacent the tie bar. The openings in the periphery of the unit lead frames are spanned with an electrically insulating material that connects the tie bar of each unit lead frame to the periphery of the unit lead frame. The direct connections between the tie bars and the periphery of the unit lead frames are severed prior to subsequent processing, so that the tie bars remain connected to the periphery of the unit lead frames by the electrically insulating material and the die paddles are electrically disconnected from the periphery of the unit lead frames.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device is aligned by placing the semiconductor device in a nest between first and second sections of the nest when the nest is in a receiving position in which the first and second sections are spaced further apart from one another than when the nest is in an aligning position. The nest is moved from the receiving position to the aligning position with the semiconductor device in the nest so that the first and second sections are spaced closer to one another and align the semiconductor device in the nest. The semiconductor device is removed from the nest after the semiconductor device is aligned.
