Abstract:
1. A fixture for burn-in operations for a semiconductor die comprising: a fixture having a cavity having a bottom surface for temporarily retaining the semiconductor die therein during the burn-in operations, the fixture including at least one contact pad located on a surface of the fixture other than the bottom surface for connection to at least one bond pad on the semiconductor die, the bottom surface having a hole extending therethrough for use in removal of the semiconductor die from the fixture; a piece of tape having an adhesive coating on each side thereof for temporarily retaining the semiconductor die in the cavity in the fixture, the piece of tape located in the cavity in the fixture, the piece of tape for temporarily securing a second side of the semiconductor die and temporarily secured to the bottom surface of the cavity of the fixture covering the hole extending through the bottom surface of the cavity of the fixture, the piece of tape being at least one of substantially the same size as the cavity in the fixture and substantially the same size and shape as the cavity in the fixture; and at least one lead connector for directly connecting at least one bond pad of the semiconductor die to the at least one contact pad of the fixture.
