Global Semiconductor Test and Burn-In Sockets Market was valued at USD 1.27 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1.94 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.50% during the forecast period (2025-2032).
The Semiconductor Test and Burn-In Sockets Market encompasses the design, development, and application of specialized interconnect solutions used to test and validate semiconductor devices during development and prior to market release. These sockets provide the mechanical and electrical interface between the device under test (DUT) and the test equipment.
Test Sockets are typically used in the functional testing phase, allowing for repeated insertions and removals of chips during engineering validation, characterization, and system-level testing. They ensure stable contact with the DUT while minimizing damage.
Burn-In Sockets are employed in burn-in ovens or chambers to test devices under elevated temperatures and voltages. The goal is to eliminate early-life failures and verify long-term reliability before products reach the end-user.
The sockets vary by form factor, pitch size, materials, and spring probe designs, depending on the chip type—such as BGA, QFN, WLCSP, or custom ICs. Their application spans memory modules, CMOS image sensors, RF chips, high-voltage devices, and complex SoCs like CPUs and GPUs.
