ABSTRACT:
A test carrier for a semiconductor component includes a base for retaining the component, and an interconnect on the base having contacts configured to electrically engage component contacts on the component. The base includes conductors in electrical communication with the contacts on the interconnect, which are defined by grooves in a conductive layer. In addition, the conductors include first portions of the conductive layer configured for electrical transmission, which are separated from one another by second portions of the conductive layer configured for no electrical transmission. The test carrier is configured for mounting to a burn in board in electrical communication with a test circuitry configured to apply test signals through the contacts on the interconnect to the component.
