Abstract:
1. A burn-in system for performing burn-in testing of a single semiconductor device among a plurality of semiconductor devices each mounted in a corresponding one of a burn-in socket of a plurality of burn-in sockets on a burn-in board, the system comprising: an enclosure defining a burn-in chamber, wherein the enclosure is configured to be mounted on the burn-in board over one of the burn-in sockets; a heating element within the burn-in chamber configured to generate heat within the burn-in chamber; a temperature sensor within the burn-in chamber configured to sense a temperature within the burn-in chamber; an opening in the enclosure for receiving a fluid; a controller configured to control the heating element and fluid flow into the enclosure in response to the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor; and wherein the enclosure comprises a housing pivotally coupled to a base, wherein the base is configured to be mounted on the burn-in board and to fit around a periphery of the one of the burn-in sockets.
