Abstract: A burn-in board connection device includes a first connection unit to hold a burn-in board and move in a first direction perpendicular to the burn-in board that is inserted in a chamber of a burn-in test device, a second connection unit to move in a second direction parallel to the burn-in board to attach/detach the burn-in board that is held by the first connection unit to/from a connector disposed in the chamber. A burn-in board connection method includes coupling a finger to the burn-in board by moving the finger in a first direction, attaching the burn-in board to a connector by moving the finger in a second direction, and driving the finger by converting a rotation of a servo motor into a linear movement of the finger.

Abstract: A system for facilitating the handling and transporting of semiconductor packages includes a stock of trays in which semiconductor packages can be held, and a tray carrier by which a stack of the trays can be easily handled using automated equipment and without producing dust. The tray carrier includes a frame having an open bottom end through which a stack of trays can be inserted into the frame, belt drums mounted on both sides of the bottom end of the frame, fork blocks mounted to the frame under the belt drums, and a belt extending from the belt drums through the fork blocks and across the open bottom end of the frame. When the tray carrier is placed over a stack of the trays, the belt surrounds the top and sides of the stack of trays. The fork blocks include prongs that are movable into the space constituting the open bottom end of the frame so as to support the bottom of the stack of trays.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for clamping a stack of trays that allows automation and prevents distribution of particles or foreign materials during a semiconductor fabrication process. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a frame body surrounding the stack of trays, a plurality of belt drums, and a hook. Each belt drum is attached to one side of the frame body has a belt and spiral spring. The belt is structured to securely surround the stack of trays using the elastic tension of the spiral spring member mounted in the belt drum. The hook is structured to be rotatably connected to the frame body and slid under a bottom surface of the stack of trays to secure the stack of trays.
