What it is

The Seiko Epson NS 8040 is a semiconductor handler.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[5]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A handler transfers semiconductor devices between test positions while controlling device presentation, alignment, and movement through the test interface.

A handler in this class is used to automate repetitive device positioning around electrical test or probe contact steps.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The NS 8040 fits into test and probe operations where devices are presented to a test site and then moved onward after electrical evaluation.

The NS 8040 sits in the back end of semiconductor processing, after wafer fabrication and before final device disposition in a test flow.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The NS 8040 is used in semiconductor test handling and probe-oriented device evaluation.
