  • Publication number: 20230400506
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a temperature control system and a temperature control method for an electronic device-testing apparatus. The temperature control system mainly includes a test socket, a temperature-controlling fluid supply device and a temperature-controlling fluid recovery device. A temperature-controlling fluid is supplied to a chip slot of the test socket by the temperature-controlling fluid supply device and drawn from the chip slot by the temperature-controlling fluid recovery device. In the present invention, the temperature-controlling fluid is forced to flow through the chip slot loaded with an electronic device so as to forcibly exchange heat with the electronic device and components in the chip slot, thereby achieving the constant temperature test. After the test is completed, the temperature-controlling fluid can be effectively recovered so that the contamination of the electronic device or the testing apparatus can be avoided.

  • Publication number: 20230400478
    Abstract: A liquid cooling system, a liquid cooling method, and an electronic device-testing apparatus having the system are disclosed. When an electronic device is accommodated in a chip slot of a test socket, a cooling liquid supply device supplies a cooling liquid to the chip slot through a fluid inlet portion, and the cooling liquid at least flows over parts of the upper and lower surfaces of the electronic device and then flows out from a fluid outlet portion. The chip slot of the test socket serves as the flow space for the cooling liquid so that the cooling liquid can flow over the upper and lower surfaces of the electronic device, and the electronic device can be immersed in the continuously flowing cooling liquid. The flowing cooling liquid can also take away foreign matter, avoiding the influence of the foreign matter on the test.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for testing a package-on-package semiconductor device, mainly comprising a pick-and-place device, a test socket, an upper chip holder, and a main controller. When a first package device is to be tested, the main controller controls the pick-and-place device to load the first package device into the test socket and then controls the pick-and-place device to transfer the upper chip holder and bring the upper chip holder into electrical contact with the first package device on the test socket so that a second package device in the upper chip holder is electrically connected to the first package device for testing. Accordingly, the upper chip holder is an independent component. Only when a test is executed, the pick-and-place device transfers the upper chip holder onto the test socket so that the second package device is electrically connected to the first package device.
