Verigy Reaches Key Milestone; Expands V93000 Direct-Probe Solution to Over 200 for Digital, SOC and RF Production
June 21 2011 - 4:05PM
Marketwired
Verigy (NASDAQ: VRGY), a premier semiconductor test company, today
announced that it had collaborated with MicroProbe, NVIDIA (NASDAQ:
NVDA), Tokyo Electron (8035 TSE), and Rudolph Technologies (NASDAQ:
RTEC) to create a turnkey solution for the production of digital,
SOC and RF devices using Verigy's V93000 Direct-Probe™ solution.
This cooperative development program is successfully supporting a
growing installed-base of over 200 V93000 Direct-Probe solutions
worldwide.
Verigy's V93000 Direct-Probe solution delivers several key
benefits, including higher bandwidth and greater signal integrity
for high speed signals. Additionally, the V93000 Direct-Probe
solution offers more component application space for on-board
loopback and a fully integrated wafer prober interface using one
printed circuit interface board that can be compatible for probe
test and final test. The V93000 Direct-Probe is supported by prober
suppliers, probe card analysis equipment suppliers and fine pitch
probe technology suppliers.
"Our long-standing relationship with Verigy enabled the
MicroProbe development groups to target our Apollo™ and MEMS
product families for high-probe count applications on the Verigy
Direct-Probe Solution," said Mike Slessor, president and chief
executive officer of MicroProbe. "In addition, our investment in
infrastructure, including the Rudolph Technologies Vx4 probe card
metrology system, allowed us to support our key customers in
rapidly ramping production on the high-performance Direct-Probe
Solution."
"NVIDIA selected the Verigy V93000 Direct-Probe solution because
of its lower cost-of-test," said Deb Shoquist, executive vice
president of operations of NVIDIA. "In addition, our need for
higher electrical performance at probe influenced the decision to
work with Verigy and its strategic partners."
"All of the Direct-Probe partners cooperated in a challenging
innovation program, a contributing factor in the development of our
PrecisionWoRx® VX4 Probe Card Test and Analysis System," said
Nathan Little, executive vice president and general manager of
Rudolph's Inspection Business Unit. "Our VX4 System enables probe
card suppliers to build and repair high performance probe solutions
that are Verigy Direct-Probe ready."
"Because we started working early in the design process of the
V93000 Direct-Probe solution, we were able to provide a superior
platform for Verigy's high performance probe requirement," said
Yuichi Abe, General Manager of TEL Test Systems Division. "The
stability and accuracy of our Precio series of fully automatic
wafer probes enables electrical performance never available for
high pin count production wafer test before Direct-Probe."
"Verigy is pleased to be leading the way with our V93000
Direct-Probe solution," said Hans-Juergen Wagner, executive vice
president SOC test of Verigy. "Our complete turnkey solution to
test CPU, graphics processors, digital baseband devices and WLCSP
consumer devices has enabled cost-effective performance probe
capability."
