Business Wire
Verigy Ltd. (NASDAQ:VRGY), a premier semiconductor test company,
and Test Insight, a leading provider of standards-based software
solutions for the design-for-test field, announced an enhanced and
integrated ability to read and write test programs used with the
Verigy V93000 SOC tester. The new Verigy STIL Reader/Writer allows
semiconductor manufacturers to improve their time-to-market by
speeding the process for creating and debugging test programs. The
STIL Reader/Writer is a result of Verigy�s ongoing technology
collaboration with Test Insight, a leading supplier of design to
test software for digital integrated circuits (ICs). �Building on
Test Insight�s leading tool technology, this new tool will help our
customers in adopting STIL for accelerating their time-to-market,�
said Hans-Juergen Wagner, vice president and general manager,
Semiconductor Test Solutions, Verigy. �With this new and integrated
capability, semiconductor manufacturers can take full advantage of
the V93000 leading-edge platform technology in a standard-compliant
tooling environment.� The new STIL Reader/Writer allows test
engineers to directly translate formatted test data in the IEEE
standard STIL language to V93000 tester binaries. It also provides
the capability to read V93000 tester binary patterns, levels, and
timing and feed it back to the simulation environment using STIL.
In addition, it allows incremental translation for modular,
collaborative development of test programs as additional test data
is integrated to an existing test program, considering all existing
predefined test data. The new bidirectional link between V93000 ATE
and STIL is designed to integrate seamlessly into semiconductor
manufacturers� established test program generation (TPG)
environments. The STIL Reader/Writer is based on Test Insight�s
leading edge STILlink� technology, a processing engine for the STIL
language that enables fastest translation times. The STIL
Reader/Writer provides full support of the STIL language as defined
in IEEE 1450.0-1999, IEEE 1450.1-2005, and IEEE 1450.2-2002, and
supports all of the advanced features of the V93000
test-processor-per-pin architecture. Verigy and Test Insight
consider the platform as the basis for supporting future extensions
to the STIL language, not only for accelerating time-to-market but
also for improving diagnosis capabilities in volume manufacturing
for efficient yield learning, lowering the cost per die sold. �Test
Insight�s extensive experience in providing design-for-test
solutions, in conjunction with Verigy�s tight cooperation, enabled
us to provide this modular solution. Such modularity allows
customers to select the pieces most suitable for their
environment,� said Meir Gellis, chief executive officer, Test
Insight. �The cooperation with Verigy gave us the opportunity to
directly address customers� needs with a solution for bringing STIL
test data to the tester and translating the results from the tester
back to STIL.� About Test Insight Test Insight provides software
solutions for design-for-test worldwide. Test Insight delivers
innovative, cutting-edge software products that enable acceleration
of creation and debug of ATE programs. Test Insight products enable
users of both ATE and EDA environments to bring forward the
availability of tested integrated circuits, as well as improve the
production yield of complex digital ICs. For more information,

Verigy V93000 provides a scalable platform architecture for testing
SOCs, systems-in-packages (SIPs) and high-speed memory devices. The
V93000, with over 1,350 systems installed worldwide, meets the
industry�s demanding performance and cost challenges, whether for
at-speed engineering characterization or high-volume production.
The test system provides massive multi-site capabilities, enables
data rates up to 12.8 Gbps and supports a full range of digital,
mixed-signal and RF applications. About Verigy Verigy designs,
develops, manufactures and sells advanced test systems and
solutions for the semiconductor industry. Verigy comprises the
semiconductor test business recently separated from Agilent
Technologies. The company began doing business as Verigy on June 1,
and completed its initial public offering on June 13, 2006.
