Abstract:
An assembly of a semiconductor die and a fixture for retaining said semiconductor die for performing burn-in operations on said semiconductor die, said assembly comprising:a semiconductor die, said semiconductor die including a first side having at least one bond pad thereon and a second side; a fixture having a cavity having a bottom surface located in said fixture for temporarily retaining said semiconductor die therein for said burn-in operations, said fixture including at least one contact pad thereon located on another surface of said fixture for connection to the at least one bond pad on said semiconductor die and at least one hole extending through the bottom surface of said cavity of said fixture for use during removal of said semiconductor die from said fixture; a piece of tape having an adhesive coating on each side thereof for temporarily retaining said semiconductor die in the cavity in said fixture, the piece of tape located in the cavity in said fixture, the piece of tape temporarily secured to the second side of the semiconductor die and temporarily secured to the bottom surface of the cavity of said fixture covering the at least one hole extending through the bottom surface of the cavity of said fixture; and at least one lead wire directly connecting the at least one bond pad of said semiconductor die to the at least one contact pad of said fixture.
