ABSTRACT:
A test cell for use in a semiconductor manufacturing operation allowing alignment of semiconductor devices to be tested to a test station. The test cell is well suited for testing semiconductor devices on carrier strips. To aid in alignment, the test cell includes a down-ward looking camera and a simple upward looking sensor. Fiducials are acurately positioned relative to the test site, which are easily detected by the simple sensor. A controller within the test cell uses the output of the camera and the sensor, in conjunction with position sensors on a robotic assembly, to determine relative positions of the devices to be tested and the test station and issue the appropriate commands to align the devices to the test station.
