Das branchenweit erste flexible DUT-Interface von Advantest ermöglicht eine höhere Paralleltestkapazität auf den V93000 EXA Scale Testsystemen
Advantest Corporation (TSE: 6857), führender Anbieter von Halbleitertestsystemen, führt sein DUT Scale Duo Interface für die V93000 EXA Scale SoC Testsysteme auf dem Markt ein und ermöglicht so den höchsten Grad an Parallelität beim Testen innovativer Halbleiter. Das revolutionäre Interface vergrößert den nutzbaren Platz auf DUT Boards und Probe Cards um 50 Prozent und ermöglicht bei Wafer-Probe- und Endtest-Setups dreifache Bauteilhöhen. Paralleltestkapazität wird oft nicht durch die verfügbaren Tester-Ressourcen, sondern durch Platzmangel auf der Probe Card oder dem DUT Board limitiert. Schnell wachsende Marktsegmente, wie die der Automobil-, Mobil- und RF- Halbleiterindustrie benötigen eine hohe Paralleltestkapazität und so wird der erhöhte Platzbedarf auf DUT-Boards immer mehr zum kritischen Faktor. Zudem…

Advantest Introduces Industry’s First Flexible DUT Interface Enabling Increased Parallelism on V93000 EXA Scale Test Systems
Leading semiconductor test equipment supplier Advantest Corporation (TSE: 6857) has launched its DUT Scale Duo interface for the V93000 EXA Scale SoC test systems, enabling the industry’s highest level of parallelism for testing advanced semiconductors. With this revolutionary interface, the usable space on DUT boards and probe cards is increased by 50 percent or more while wafer probe and final-test set ups can accommodate component heights that are more than three times taller. In today’s testing environments, the number of devices that can be tested in parallel is most often limited by the component space on the probe card or DUT board, not by available tester resources. With fast-growing market…

Advantest führt die ACS Adaptive Probe Cleaning Lösung ein und optimiert dadurch die Effizienz der Reinigung von Probe Cards für den Chiptest
Advantest Corporation (TSE: 6857), führender Anbieter von Halbleitertestsystemen, kündigte heute die branchenweit erste ACS Adaptive Probe Cleaning (APC) Lösung an und optimiert damit den Reinigungszyklus von Probe Cards. Als Teil des offenen ACS Lösungsökosystems von Advantest hat sich APC bereits bei Kunden in Asien und Europa bewährt. STMicroelectronics hat die Lösung an zwei seiner Produktionsstandorte installiert. Dadurch konnten die Reinigungszyklen erheblich verkürzt, und somit die Ausbeute beachtlich verbessert, die Lebensdauer der Probe Card verlängert und die verfügbare Systemzeit für Tests erhöht werden. Während es viele Methoden gibt, um die Testzeit und -kosten zu reduzieren, stellen die Kosten für Probe Cards eine neue Herausforderung dar. Die steigende Anzahl der Probenadeln und…
