Patent ID: 8749255

Claim:
An electronic device test apparatus for testing electronic devices temporarily held in test carriers, the apparatus comprising: test cells comprising test circuits; a conveyor configured to convey the test carriers to the test cells; and a controller configured to control the test cells and the conveyor, wherein each of the test cells can hold one of the test carriers, each of the test cells has: at least one contact terminal; a contactor configured to bring at least one external terminal of the test carrier and the at least one contact terminal into contact; and a corresponding one of the test circuits which electrically connects to the at least one contact terminal and runs at least one test on the electronic device, each of the test carriers holds one of the electronic devices, each of the test carriers comprises: a base member having the at least one external terminal and on which the electronic device is placed; a cover member which covers the base member; and at least one interconnect which electrically connects the at least one external terminal and at least one device terminal of the electronic device, wherein at least one of the base member or the cover member has a deformable layer, the electronic device is sandwiched between the base member and the cover member, the deformable layer is in contact with the electronic device, and the controller controls the test cells so that the test cells run tests independently from each other.
