NS 8080 W
The Seiko / Epson NS 8080 W is an IC handler used for semiconductor testing. The NS 8080 W operates on single-phase 200-240 Vac at 50/60 Hz. The NS 8080 W runs Windows 2K with software version VerZQ23.70Q-MIP.[1][2][3][4]
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIC handlers pick devices from input media such as tubes, trays, or tape and place them into a test site. The handler aligns each device precisely over a contact socket and applies a controlled force to establish electrical connection with the test head. After the test sequence completes, the handler moves the device to the appropriate output bin based on pass, fail, or bin-category results.
The NS 8080 W likely follows this general architecture, using a pick-and-place mechanism and a set of input and output stations. The machine's software handles device tracking, test program execution, and binning logic.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIC handlers are used in the final test (FT) stage of semiconductor manufacturing, after the devices have been packaged and singulated. The handler is paired with an automatic test equipment (ATE) system that performs electrical measurements. Upstream steps include packaging, marking, and visual inspection; downstream steps include tape-and-reel packaging and shipping.
