  • Patent number: 11774486
    Abstract: A method for controlling temperature in a temperature control system. The method includes providing a temperature control system including a controller, a first contactor assembly having a first channel system, a plurality of first contacts, each of the first contacts including a portion that is disposed within the first channel system, and one or more of a first exhaust valve or a first inlet valve, and a second contactor assembly having a second channel system, a plurality of second contacts, each of the second contacts including a portion that is disposed within the second channel system, and one or more of a second exhaust valve or a second inlet valve. The method also includes receiving, by the first contactor assembly, a fluid at a first temperature. The method also includes receiving, by the second contactor assembly, the fluid at the first temperature.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7605581
    Abstract: A semiconductor device test assembly includes a heat sink having a surface configured to support a device under test, an inner bellow, an outer bellow at least partially surrounding the inner bellow, and a fluid channel within the inner bellow for providing a fluid to the heat sink. The semiconductor device test assembly can further include an air adjustment unit for adjusting an air pressure in the outer bellow, so as to adjust a contact force between the heat sink and the device under test.
