Abstract
Systems and methods for sorting an electronic device undergoing a final test operation in accordance with a test program, into one of a plurality of bins. In one embodiment, an evaluator defines the binning of the electronic device while the device is still socketed, and the defined binning may or may not concur with the binning assigned by the test program.
Claims28
A system for sorting, comprising:
- an evaluator configured to:
- receive a provisional binning assignment for an electronic device determined based on first data generated by a test program configured to determine said provisional binning assignment for said electronic device;
- define a permanent binning assignment for said electronic device, inserted in a test socket of a test tool that is performing a test operation according to said test program, said permanent binning assignment is based at least in part on both of:
- said first data for determining said provisional binning assignment, and second data different from said first data, and
- output said permanent binning assignment so that after said test operation is completed, said electronic device is removed from said test socket and placed in one of a plurality of bins in accordance with said permanent binning assignment.

A non-transitory computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein for sorting, the computer program product comprising:
- computer readable program code for causing a computer to:
- receive a provisional binning assignment for an electronic device determined based on first data generated by a test program configured to determine said provisional binning assignment for said electronic device;
- define a permanent binning assignment for said electronic device inserted in a test socket of a test tool that is performing a test operation according to said test program, said permanent binning assignment is based at least in part on both of:
- said first data for determining said provisional binning assignment and second data different from said first data;
- and
- computer readable program code for causing the computer to output said binning assignment so that after said test operation is completed, said electronic device is removed from said test socket and placed in one of a plurality of bins in accordance with said binning assignment.
