Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for wafer scale burn-in and testing of semiconductor integrated circuits and a method for its utilization is disclosed. A wafer is mated to a printed circuit board which electrically contacts the pads on each die using small conductive pillars. Single precise alignment of entire wafer within apparatus allows for testing all the dice on the wafer in parallel, eliminating need to probe each die individually. The apparatus is fitted with heating elements and cooling channels to generate the necessary wafer temperatures for burn-in and testing. The method of utilization eliminates processing of defective dice beyond burn-in and test, thereby increasing throughput.
