Verigy (NASDAQ: VRGY), a premier semiconductor test company, has
installed and qualified its first production-ready V93000 HSM6800
system at the facility of an unnamed customer in Korea. This new
system is the only at-speed, high-yield testing solution for
today’s ultra-fast GDDR5 memory ICs with operating speeds above 4
gigabits per second (Gbps) per pin. It provides a significant
throughput advantage compared to other ultra-high-speed memory test
systems on the market today.
Approximately 90 percent of all GDDR5 devices are manufactured
in Korea, according to the market research firm iSuppli Corp. By
testing these fast memories at-speed and with full feature sets,
Verigy’s V93000 HSM6800 system allows customers to address
high-growth semiconductor markets, such as advanced graphics cards
that generate more realistic, higher resolution images.
Verigy’s new tester has been installed for engineering and
production test of the customer’s latest chip designs. When
available, the system also is being used to test both samples and
high volumes of ICs from the fab.
“Our V93000 HSM6800 system has 8-Gbps-per-pin capability to
provide longer life time and coverage for multi-generation memory
devices with the best yield,” said Hans-Juergen Wagner, Verigy’s
vice president of SOC test solutions. “During qualification, the
tester delivered higher yield and higher throughput than
competitive systems, providing better ROI to the customer.”
The rich feature set on Verigy’s V93000 HSM6800 system supports
testing of many advanced functions on GDDR5 devices, including
address bus inversion (ABI), data bus inversion (DBI) and cyclic
redundancy check (CRC). These are features that are expected to be
used for DDR4 also. In addition, the tester’s flexible APG
architecture can test memories with common 8-bit frames and is
extendible to test future generations of memories with 10-bit
frames. With its scalable design, Verigy’s V93000 HSM series is the
only platform to fulfill the performance, functionality and
economic requirements for testing all available high-speed memory
technologies.
In addition to this new tester, the customer has an installed
base of Verigy’s previous generation of V93000 HSM3600 systems,
which it has been using for four years to test high-speed memory
ICs.
