Abstract

An apparatus including a chamber is provided herein. The chamber includes: a radiation source; a load board slot configured for: (i) holding a load board; and (ii) connecting the load board to an automatic testing equipment. The chamber further includes at least one movable device for positioning the load board slot relative to the radiation source or positioning the radiation source relative to the load board slot; and a controller for receiving instructions and controlling the at least one movable device according to the received instructions. The chamber, including the automatic testing equipment, is configured for constructing and operating soft errors testing by positioning the load board slot, which holds a DUT (Device Under Test), relative to the radiation source or by positioning the radiation source relative to the load board slot, and counting the number of DUT datum errors, which are the soft errors.
