Abstract

A testing station tests integrated circuits and determines if the integrated circuits pass or fail predefined tests. The integrated circuits are placed in a pass bin if the integrated circuits passed the tests, or a fail bin if the integrated circuits failed the tests. A marking station marks identification information on the integrated circuits in the pass bin. The testing and marking stations are both included in a single, integrated tester-marker system.
