An Optimal Sorting Algorithm for Auto IC Test Handler
IC 테스트 핸들러의 최적분류 알고리즘 개발
Abstract
Sorting time is one of the most important issues for auto IC test handling systems. In actual system, because of too much path, reducing the computing time for finding a sorting path is the key way to enhancing the system performance. The exhaustive path search technique can not be used for real systems. This paper proposes heuristic sorting algorithm to find the minimal sorting time. The suggested algorithm is basically based on the best-first search technique and multi-level search technique. The results are close to the optimal solutions and computing time is greately reduced also. Therefore the proposed algorthm can be effectively used for real-time sorting process in auto IC test handling systems.
