Abstract
A carrier tray is provided for holding a semiconductor device that has a two dimensional array of regularly spaced rows and columns of holes having one and only one pitch and one and only one pocket size. The holes are configured to receive a solder ball from a ball grid array package. The carrier tray can engage at least two differently sized ball grid array packages, thereby avoiding the expense and long lag time associated with designing a new product carrier tray for each new semiconductor device.
