Saying that advanced ICs are complex is an understatement. The seemingly endless progression to smaller geometries, the ever-increasing integration between analog and digital blocks, and the ...

If you wanted to learn about automated test equipment (ATE) but only had a couple of days in which to do so, how would you spend your time? Certainly, there’s a lot of material online, but for sheer ...

Traditionally, semiconductor manufacturers used Zener- and link-trimming to calibrate parameters such as output voltage on analog ICs. They performed the trimming at the wafer level, using additional ...

When it comes to testing microelectromechanical system devices and sensors, sometimes you have to shake and bake. and sensors are physically different from standard ICs. They require a specific type ...

Semiconductors are the essential component fueling the growth of industries such as automotive, renewable energy, communications, information technology, defense, and consumer electronics. The rise of ...

International Communications Group (ICG), of Newport News, Va., has completion of testing and receipt of Iridium Certified Equipment (ICE) designation for its NxtLink ICS-220A Iridium Communications ...

Leading semiconductor test equipment supplier Advantest Corporation (TSE: 6857) has introduced two new modules that enable its T2000 IPS system to test high-voltage and high-power devices used in the ...

Disaggregating SoCs allows chipmakers to cram more features and functions into a package than can fit on a reticle-sized chip. But as Vidya Neerkundar, technical marketing engineer at Siemens EDA ...
