Abstract

Optoelectronic properties of optical communication LEDs, LDs and PDs should be examined in a wide range of temperatures between −40° C. and +85° C. Low temperature photocharacteristics of as-chip devices are tested by preparing an inspection stage cooled at a low temperature encapsulated in a shield casing with a front opening, conveying a chip of LD, LED or PD by a collet via the opening, placing the chip on the cold stage, blowing the stage and chip with cool dry air for preventing the chip from wetting, touching the chip by a probe, applying a current/voltage to the chip, examining emission/detection of the chip and taking the chip off via the opening by the collet.
