Abstract: A sound test device for testing a DUT in particular a MEMS microphone, comprises a sound chamber a socket unit and a sound generator unit, wherein the sound generator unit includes a speaker comprising a speaker membrane, an opening, and a reference microphone comprising a microphone membrane wherein the opening is adapted to receive a DUT opening of the DUT and wherein the microphone membrane and the opening are arranged to opposing each other, and the socket unit includes the at least one contact element being adapted to contact to a contact terminal of the DUT, and wherein the sound chamber is limited by the speaker membrane, the microphone membrane, and the opening.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are based on a method for positioning a carrier with a plurality of electronic components in a device for testing the electronic components, wherein the carrier is provided with a pick-and-place unit. According to embodiments of the invention several markings at one side of the carrier are detected with at least one camera and the position of the markings is determined in relation to the known position of a nest for receiving the carrier, the nest is moved into a position exactly opposite to the carrier, the carrier is handed over to the nest, several further markings at the other side of the carrier are detected by at least one further camera and the position of the further markings is determined in relation to the determined position of a test socket, the nest is positioned in a position exactly opposite to the test socket and the carrier is pressed against the test socket.

Abstract: A method of post-processing a plurality of electronic components in a post-processing machine after fabrication of the electronic components including providing a carrier with align fixtures, which align fixtures have a clamping mechanism, actuating the clamping mechanism to enlarge a size of receptacles, each of the receptacles is assigned to one of the align fixtures and the enlarged receptacles are larger than the electronic components to be received, positioning the electronic components in the receptacles of the align fixtures, actuating the clamping mechanism to reduce a size of the receptacles so that the electronic components are aligned within the receptacles of the carrier, placing the carrier in the post processing machine, and subjecting the electronic components to operations of the post-processing machine while the electronic components maintain in aligned positions in the receptacles of the carrier.
