Abstract
An IC tray for carrying IC packages that prevents incorrect placement of IC packages is provided. The tray includes a number of IC cavities used to accommodate the IC packages, with each of the IC packages having been provided with the second direction indicator that corresponds to the first direction indicator that each of the IC cavity has, preventing the IC packages from being placed into the IC tray in wrong directions. The IC tray prevents the users or operators from placing the IC packages into it in wrong directions, therefore effectively improves the convenience and yield rate in the subsequent manufacturing processes.
Claims20
An Integrated Circuit Tray (IC tray) arrangement, comprising:
- a plurality of IC packages, each having a position indicator;
- and
- an IC tray having a plurality of IC cavities, each being adapted to receive a respective one of the IC packages therein, each cavity having a direction indicator for accommodating and orientating the position indicator of the respective IC package so that the IC packages can only be placed into the respective cavities of the IC tray in a predefined orientation.
An Integrated Circuit Tray (IC tray), comprising:
- a plurality of IC cavities having orientating means for physically preventing a plurality of IC packages stored in the IC cavities from being placed into the IC tray in wrong directions.
