Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus configured to engage a device for testing the device via automatic test equipment. The apparatus includes a heat sink, wherein the heat sink comprises a plurality of fins extending from the heat sink, and wherein the heat sink is configured to engage the device. The apparatus further includes a heat conduction layer coupled to the heat sink, a first leg coupled to the heat conduction layer, and a second leg coupled to the heat conduction layer. The second leg is spaced apart from the first leg. A vacuum path is defined through (i) the heat conduction layer and (ii) the heat sink. The vacuum path permits the apparatus to engage the device to be tested by the automatic test equipment.
