Abstract: A transfer device of a handler for testing semiconductor devices is provided in which a pitch between each of a plurality of picker heads may be adjusted without replacing a cam plate. The transfer device may include a base part, a plurality of picker heads movably mounted on the base part, and a cam plate movably mounted on the base part and having a plurality of inclined cam grooves formed therein. Each picker head is connected to a corresponding cam groove by a connection part extending therebetween, with an end of each connection part movably coupled to its respective cam groove. A driving unit reciprocates the cam plate so that, as the ends of the connection parts move within the cam grooves, a position of the picker heads may be varied.

Abstract: A socket assembly for testing semiconductor devices includes a socket board electrically connected to an outside testing device, and a socket guide which covers the socket board. The socket guide has an open part to receive the semiconductor device and allows pins on the semiconductor device to couple with connection pins on the socket board. A spacer may be interposed between the socket board and the socket guide to maintain a predetermined distance between the semiconductor device and the socket board. In this manner, the balls or the leads of each semiconductor device may be pressed onto connection pins of the socket to a predetermined depth, even when the semiconductor devices have different thicknesses.

Abstract: A carrier module for a semiconductor device handler, in which grooves for flow of cooling fluid are formed in a seating surface of the carrier module for the semiconductor device. The grooves improve cooling efficiency by forcing the cooling fluid sprayed from a test temperature deviation compensating system onto the carrier module to spread throughout substantially an entire surface of the semiconductor device, and to remain in the carrier module for a period of time before being discharged.
