Abstract:
1. A method of organizing a plurality of integrated circuit (IC) packages, comprising: placing the plurality of IC packages on a first IC package tray that defines a plurality of pockets and wherein placing the plurality of IC packages on the first IC package tray comprises placing the plurality of IC packages on the first IC package tray such that each of the plurality of IC packages is held by a different one of the plurality of pockets; providing a tray map of the first IC package tray wherein the tray map comprises a plurality of pocket data elements, each of the plurality of pockets representing a different one of the pocket data elements; testing all of the plurality of IC packages to generate a plurality of operational state data items, each of the plurality of operational state data items indicating an operational state of a different one of the plurality of IC packages on the first IC package tray wherein testing all of the plurality of IC packages to generate the plurality of operational state data items further comprises populating the tray map with the plurality of operational state data items such that each operational state data item of the plurality of operational state data items is provided in a pocket data element of the plurality of pocket elements that represents a pocket of the plurality of pockets that held an IC package from the plurality of IC packages of which the operational state data item is indicating an operational state; after testing all of the plurality of IC packages on the first IC package tray, sorting the plurality of IC packages based on the plurality of operational state data items.
