Marketwired
Long-time customer King Yuan Electronics Co., Ltd. (KYEC), one of
the world's largest semiconductor test foundries, has selected
Verigy (NASDAQ: VRGY), a leading semiconductor test company, as its
preferred test equipment partner for KYEC's entry into the RF SOC
(radio-frequency, system-on-chip) device market.
KYEC has ordered and installed several of Verigy's V93000 SOC
testers with pin-scale digital cards for testing high-volume
semiconductors for RF-based mobile computing applications,
including consumer electronics. Verigy's V93000 Port Scale RF
system provides parallel test capability with high multi-site
efficiency, delivering best-in-class throughput and low
cost-of-test. In addition to supporting KYEC's initial testing
needs for RF-based semiconductors, these flexible systems also can
be adapted to test graphics devices and mixed-signal ICs.
Each RF tester in the order is equipped with Verigy's pin-scale
digital and analog cards, which optimize the speed and accuracy of
Verigy's testers by enabling each pin to be flexibly and instantly
configured to adapt to changing test needs. In addition, each pin
offers both single-ended and differential I/O test capabilities
suitable for testing a wide range of interfaces. This allows the
equipment to be matched pin-by-pin to the device under test,
resulting in the highest equipment utilization and the lowest cost
of test. As device requirements change, additional high-speed pins
can be cost-effectively added.
With installation now completed, Verigy's V93000 platform is the
only test equipment at KYEC with a full utilization rate. Using
Verigy's pin-scale cards, each tester's performance can be
fine-tuned for a specific type of IC, giving KYEC the versatility
to test a wide variety of semiconductors ranging from
low-integration devices such as power amplifiers, tuners and
transceivers up to high-integration RF devices containing
integrated mixed-signal, digital, power management and embedded or
stacked memory.
"Our selection criteria are focused on ROI," said Gauss Chang,
chief operating officer of KYEC. "We chose Verigy as our preferred
equipment partner because of its testers' high flexibility and
performance capabilities as well as the company's superior
engineering support and commitment to continuous improvement of its
products' capabilities."
"Our partnership with KYEC is a successful model for mutually
beneficial cooperation between an equipment user and supplier,"
said Pascal Ronde, Verigy's vice president of worldwide sales,
service and support. "This repeat order from KYEC validates the
productivity of our V93000 system. With this latest system
installation, KYEC is now able to increase its RF SOC testing
business with both IDMs (integrated device manufacturers) and
fabless semiconductor companies at its facilities in Hsinchu and
Chu-Bei, Taiwan."
