Abstract
An electronic testing system may use a gas phase heat transfer medium to cool components of the system and devices under test within the system. The heat transfer medium may be clean dry air, or other gas phase compounds.
Claims43
A system for controlling temperature of an electronic device under test (DUT), the system comprising:
- a closed circulation loop having pressurized therein a gas phase heat transfer medium at a pressure greater than an atmospheric pressure;
- a plunger configured to be in thermal communication with a first portion of the closed circulation loop and in further thermal communication with the DUT;
- and
- a heat exchanger configured to be in thermal communication with a second portion of the closed circulation loop.

An apparatus for testing an electronic device under test (DUT), the apparatus comprising:
- a testing station configured to receive the DUT and perform electrical testing therein using a contactor;
- the contactor configured to electrically and physically contact with the DUT at a first side of the DUT for sending and receiving testing signals;
- a plunger configured to be in physical contact and thermal communication with the DUT at a second side for controlling temperature of the DUT during testing;
- and
- a closed circulation loop having pressurized therein a gas phase heat transfer medium at a pressure greater than an atmospheric pressure in thermal communication with the plunger.
