Abstract
An integrated system is described for testing, marking, inspecting and shipping completed semiconductor integrated circuit parts in a modified standard shipping tray by the combined use of a novel tray cover and an appropriately designed burn-in board assembly. A specially designed tray cover is placed on the modified shipping tray containing multiple integrated circuit parts which have been encapsulated and singulated. The cover is designed to hold the parts securely and precisely in specific individual location. Openings in the cover permit marking and inspecting of the parts by known means, when desired. A burn-in board is appropriately connected to the exposed leads of the parts, from beneath the tray and burn-in and other tests are conducted. Defective parts are identified and replaced. The special cover and burn-in board are removed from the shipping tray, which is then covered with a standard cover or stacked with other completed trays, to be stored or shipped.
