Hi-Fix Board
Hi-Fix Board
Test equipment that acts as an interface between tester and handler
			- Hi-Fix board is used to determine the success or failure of package in semiconductor test process (test equipment that acts as an interface between tester and handler)
- Consists of components (connector, pogo pin, and rubber block)which transfer electric signals that are approved from tester, PCB which comprises a circuit, socket which loads device, socket guide, and equipment for docking handler and tester


Hi-Fix Board Structure


SOCKET PCB
Equipment with circuit to transfer signals from a tester to relevant memory
			




SMT-type SBC (shield Base Connector)
Non-Rivet & Non-Ion Defect
			
- Resolution of problems with standard rivet method such as corroded contacts, rivet hole interference, and problems regarding signal transfer characteristics
- Improved standard rivet method; components can be attached inside the connector housing if needed and 512 Para can be expanded
Expected effects
- A patent for connector can be acquired and disputes over the patent can be resolved
- Price can be reduced by more than 10% compared to competitors and price competitiveness can be improved through PCB design and by supplying own connector
- Signal transmission properties can be improved by using SMT
- Rivet-related works are unnecessary (time and additional cost can be saved)
- Components can be attached between connector pins (properties of PI can be improved)
- 512Para can be expanded as there is no rivet hole
