ABSTRACT:
A boat retrieval mechanism, which move an output boat containing a tested integrated circuit package within an IC package handler of an IC package testing system, is designed for low maintenance and for easy maintenance. The boat retrieval mechanism of the present invention includes a carrier linear guide having a boat carrier mounted thereon for defining a path of travel of the boat carrier between a core testing unit and an IC package sorting unit. The boat carrier carries the output boat containing a tested IC package from the core testing unit to the sorting unit. A boat self-alignment mechanism disposed near the sorting unit holds the output boat substantially in a predetermined position when the output boat is at the sorting unit. In addition, a grounding wire is coupled between the boat carrier and a ground potential for ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) protection of any tested IC package carried by the boat retrieval mechanism of the present invention. A belt attached to the boat carrier moves the boat carrier, and a motor which drives this belt is located substantially far from the core testing unit for easy access during maintenance.
