Abstract
An adjustable tray for a semiconductor device, and method of using the tray for handling the device, are provided. Each tray comprises a front frame segment and a back frame segment opposing the front frame segment, and a pair of opposing side frame segments secured to the front and back frame segments to form right angles, each side frame segment containing a longitudinal channel. Each tray further includes a fixed locator segment and an adjustable locator segment, each having a plurality of slots for receiving semiconductor devices therein. The distal ends of the locator segments are secured to the pair of opposing side frame segments at right angles. The adjustable locator segment can be manipulated such that the fixed and adjustable locator segments are spaced apart a distance commensurate with the width of the semiconductor device. The device is friction fit into a slot such that the device is only contacted at keep-out areas on the device. Using stand-offs mounted in stand-off receptacles, two or more trays can be modularly stacked.
