Tester for semiconductor devices and test tray used for the same

摘要

An IC tester which is capable of reducing the time required before completion of testing on all of ICs to be tested is provided. The depth (length in the Y-axis direction) of the constant temperature chamber 4 and the exit chamber 5 is expanded by a dimension corresponding approximately to one transverse width (length of the minor edge) of the rectangular test tray 3, and two generally parallel test tray transport paths or alternatively a widened test tray transport path broad enough to transport two test trays simultaneously with the two test trays juxtaposed in a direction transverse to the widened test tray transport path are provided in the section of test tray transport path extending from the soak chamber 41 in the constant temperature chamber 4 through the testing section 42 in the constant temperature chamber 4 to the exit chamber 5 so that two test trays may be simultaneously transported along the two test tray transport paths or the widened test tray transport path.
