As technologies advance, the semiconductor industry and its traditional business model face a myriad of ongoing complexities demanding an ever accelerating state of operational agility. The electronics and healthcare markets are experiencing unprecedented change through mass market consumerization and global adoption. For most chip companies, gone are the days of ...

Six ways to improve chip yield rate- before the project starts

Early on in Chip projects, yield is not taken very seriously. The common thinking goes -  anyhow there isn’t much to do as this early point of time. However, there are actually several things you can do even before the Chip design starts, which will translate to clear savings. 1- Know your ...

ASIC design for the IoT

As everybody is trying to figure out what the Internet of Things (IoT) will look like and how connected things will work, I'd like to address a question that many people have: why design your own Integrated Circuit (IC) rather than just use an off-the-shelf processor, write software and be done?   In a nutshell, because ...

Low Parasitic HBM ESD Testing

The Human Body Model (HBM) Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) test is the oldest and most widely used ESD test in the electronics industry. The JEDEC HBM test isn’t static; it has been revised to keep up with the rapid changes in the semiconductor industry. The latest revision of the spec addresses failures ...

What is a Burn-in Board?

Burn in Board is a printed circuit board which functions as a jig in the Burn-in process. The Burn-in Board is used as part of the ASIC reliability testing process during which components are stressed to detect failures. Burn in Boards consist of sockets to accommodate the tested ASICs and ...

Introduction to HTOL

HTOL (High Temperature Operating Life) testing is a stress test defined by JEDEC to define the reliability of IC products, and is an essential part of ASIC qualification tests. This post provides a high-level overview of HTOL test. Obviously, you should refer to the standard if you plan to perform ...

Semiconductor Test Equipment is Powering Innovation

OUTLINE Semiconductor probe card revenues are down by 0.5% in 2022. Reaching US$1.84 billion in 2022, revenue from sockets is on track to reach a record high. Revenue from advanced PCBs grew overall in 2022, driven by sales of DIBs. The Top 3 probe card suppliers are FormFactor, Technoprobe, and MJC Electronics. The Top 3 ...

Integrated Circuit Packaging Overview

An integrated circuit package has the sole purpose of protecting and maintaining one or more integrated circuits. It is usually in the form of a plastic, glass, metal, or ceramic casing which creates a physical barrier of protection against things like impact and corrosion. Furthermore, it helps to hold contact ...
