Thermal Test Sockets
To assure their integrity in the field, each chip needs to be thermally tested before assembly into the final product, ensuring proper function and long-life operation. The growing adoption of advanced IC chip testing on the market is driving demands for high-performance, long-life thermal test sockets that are used in the final stage of the semiconductor manufacturing process to weed out inferior chips. Microchip reliability testing can include voltage and environmental testing, such as high temperature burn-in and thermal cycling.
