摘要： A method and apparatus of assembling and disassembling semiconductor dice to be tested from the components of a temporary test package. A computer-controlled vision system is employed to align the dice with the temporary test package bases, and an automated robot arm system is employed to retrieve and assemble the dice with the various package components. The invention has particular utility in the burn-in and other pre-packaging testing of dice to establish known good dice (KGD).

摘要： An apparatus including a positioner control device, a measuring device and a control routine. The positioner control device is communicatively coupled to a chamber of a charged particle beam device (CPBD) and is configured to individually manipulate each of a plurality of probes within the CPBD chamber to establish contact between ones of the plurality of probes and corresponding ones of a plurality of contact points of a sample positioned in the CPBD chamber. The measuring device is communicatively coupled to the CPBD and the positioner control device and is configured to perform one of a measurement and a detection of a characteristic associated with one of the plurality of contact points. The control routine is configured to at least partially automate control of at least one of the CPBD, the positioner control device and the measuring device.

摘要： A method for positioning a semiconductor die within a temporary package, including forming a representation of at least a portion of a semiconductor die, moving the semiconductor die to a location proximate a temporary package, and comparing the representation of the at least a portion of the semiconductor die to a representation of at least a portion of the temporary package. The compared representations are then used to define movement of a die moving assembly, in order to move the die to place the semiconductor die and the temporary package into a desired relationship to one another. A restraining device is then secured to the temporary package to retain the semiconductor die in the desired relationship to the temporary package.
