What it is

The Multitest MT 2168 is a semiconductor test handler.[1][4]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A test handler moves semiconductor devices into and out of a test position while coordinating mechanical handling with electrical test access.

A handler in this class typically supports automated device presentation to a tester through a docking interface and a loadboard or equivalent test interface path.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A test handler sits at the final test stage of semiconductor manufacturing, where packaged devices are prepared for electrical verification before downstream handling.

Applications

The MT 2168 is used in semiconductor final test handling.[3]

Frequently asked questions

What types of memory devices can be tested with this class of equipment?General reference — not yet source-verified

Memory test systems are primarily designed for volatile memory such as dynamic random-access memory. Some systems also support non-volatile types like flash memory, depending on the test architecture.

How do these testers interface with the device under test?General reference — not yet source-verified

Interfacing is typically done through a set of electrical contacts that match the device packaging—modules, cards, or wafer probe heads. Interface modules can be swapped to accommodate different form factors.

What factors affect test throughput?General reference — not yet source-verified

Throughput is influenced by the number of parallel test sites, the complexity of test sequences, and the speed of device loading. High-volume systems often incorporate parallel testing and automated device handling to maximize productivity.
