PURPOSE: To automate burn-in process fully and to improve reliability and economy by mounting an IC package to a burn-in cartridge and performing burn-in. CONSTITUTION: An IC package is subjected to mechanical and electrical tests by an IC tester 130 via an IC storage container, an incoming tube hopper 110, and a tube handler 120. Then, the IC package that passed the test is mounted on a socket 38 that is provided at a printed circuit 30 on both surfaces of a burn-in cartridge(BIC) 50 using a cartridge loader 140. Then, a cartridge tester 150 supplies power to the BIC 50, a nonconforming article is removed, and the IC package is moved to a burn-in chamber for performing burn-in. By using this kind of BIC 50, the IC package can be easily mounted and removed for full automaton, thus improving reliability and economy. |
