What it is
The Seiko Epson NS is a semiconductor device handler.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedDevice handlers such as the Seiko Epson NS transport packaged integrated circuits from input trays or tubes to a test site. At the test site a test socket makes electrical contact with the device leads, connecting the device to a separate automated test equipment system. The handler typically provides temperature control to allow testing at elevated or lowered temperatures. After the test is performed the handler sorts the devices into output bins based on pass/fail criteria or parametric binning.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Seiko Epson NS handler is used in the final test stage of semiconductor manufacturing, after wafer probe, dicing, die attach, wire bonding, and encapsulation have produced packaged integrated circuits. The handler feeds packaged devices to a test head where functional and parametric tests are performed. After testing the devices proceed to tape-and-reel packaging, inspection, and shipment.
