Abstract

A reusable burn-in/test fixture for discrete TAB die consists of two halves. The first half of the test fixture is a die cavity plate for receiving semiconductor dice, and contains cavities in which die are inserted. The second half establishes electrical contact with the dice and with a burn-in oven. The test fixture need not be opened until the burn-in and electrical test are completed. After burn-in stress and electrical test, the die are removed from the test fixture and depositioned accordingly. The technique will allow all elements of the burn-in/test fixture to 100% reusable.
