These systems can be used to simultaneously perform parallel testing and burn-in of packaged integrated circuits, or ICs, singulated bare die or ICs still in wafer form. Increased quality and reliability needs of the mobility, automotive, photonics and flash memory integrated circuit markets are driving additional testing requirements, capacity needs and opportunities for our products in package and wafer level testing. Leveraging our expertise as a long-time leading provider of burn-in equipment, with over 2,500 systems shipped worldwide, we have developed and introduced several innovative product families, including the FOX and ABTS systems, the WaferPak cartridge and the DiePak carrier. The FOX systems are full wafer contact parallel test and burn-in systems designed to make contact with all pads of a wafer simultaneously, thus enabling full wafer parallel test and burn-in. The latest ABTS family of packaged part burn-in and test systems can perform test during burn-in of complex devices, such as digital signal processors, microprocessors, microcontrollers and systems-on-a-chip, and offers individual temperature control for high-power advanced logic devices. The WaferPak cartridge includes innovative contact technology for use in testing wafers and chip size packages in FOX systems. The DiePak carrier is a reusable, temporary package that enables IC manufacturers to perform cost-effective final test and burn-in of singulated bare die.</FONT></P>
