Abstract
A device is loaded in a test chamber. The device is positioned for support on a chuck in a non-test position in the test chamber. The device is tested in the test chamber. The chuck is positioned in a test position in the test chamber to place the device in electrical contact with a test apparatus. Coolant is delivered to a heat sink supported by the chuck near the device prior to testing the device and while testing the device. Coolant is delivered to the heat sink through flexible tubing coupled to the chuck as the chuck moves from the non-test position to the test position.
