It’s that time of year! We look back on the year and share the top blog posts. Here are the top seven posts of 2023.

1. Advanced Packaging Pushing Wafer-Level Test to the Next Level

With the emergence of innovative technologies, such as integrating multiple dies into monolithic systems, meeting the increasing demand for cost-effective performance in top-end applications has become more challenging.

2. Silicon Photonics (SiPh) Moving to Production

Photonics testing is in its nascent stages, with broad volume production yet to be realized. The development of test equipment and techniques is ongoing. The landscape comprises a fusion of established semiconductor testing methods tailored to accommodate the distinct requirements of photonics.

3. Cryogenic Test as a Service for Advanced Quantum Development

You can partner with FormFactor to build custom probing solutions and collect the valuable cryogenic data you need. Whether it’s at 4 K or < 50 mK, we will work with you to solve your unique test and measurement challenges.

4. Kepler and Apollo Probe Cards Meet the Challenges of Advanced AI

AI’s neural networks learn in much the same way as their biological counterparts, through example and repetition rather than the sequential logic of standard computer programming. They include massive concentrations of interconnected nodes, each representing the equivalent of a single neuron.

5. NEW Additions to FormFactor Cryogenics Offering

FormFactor’s Wet Dilution Refrigerators have two series of products: the Wet DR-50/250/500 and Wet DR-50-TL/250-TL/500-TL. Both series of dilution refrigerators enable easy and cost-effective cooling to temperatures between 35 to 10 mK.

6. High Throughput SiC Metrology and Inspection

See the presentation and Bastian Troger will share examples of defect inspection on silicon carbide products (SiC layer defects) and the determination of the overlay shift on SiC wafers. In addition, Egidio Carria will discuss the market background and acceptance of SiC technology.

7. NEW Silicon Valley Demo Center

The new demo center is located at 150 Charcot Avenue in San Jose, in the heart of Silicon Valley, and offers a product demonstration lab and clean room, presentation and training areas, service warehouse, office space and conference rooms.
