FormFactor is thrilled to announce our participation in MWE 2024, taking place from November 27–29 at Pacifico Yokohama, Japan, in the bustling Minato Mirai district. Join us at Booth H-18 to explore breakthrough innovations in microwave technology and learn how our cutting-edge solutions are advancing capabilities across critical sectors.

MWE 2024 (Microwave Workshops and Exhibition) is one of Japan’s leading events dedicated to microwave technology, uniting industry experts, researchers, and visionaries for three days of in-depth workshops and hands-on exhibitions. This event is a hub for collaboration among industry, government, and academia, driving progress in microwave applications and inspiring new industry developments.

Here’s what we’ll be showcasing at MWE2024:

SUMMIT200: Advanced Semi-Automatic and Fully Automatic Probe Station

Our SUMMIT200 probe station is engineered for high-performance and adaptable testing across a broad spectrum of applications, from R&D and device characterization to niche production. This versatile platform supports both semi-automatic and fully automatic modes and is equipped for ultra-low noise, high-precision measurements across DC, RF, mmW, and THz frequencies. At MWE2024, see the SUMMIT200 in action with a 125GHz 4-port VNA from Keysight and advanced millimeter-wave differential probes, enabling sophisticated testing for even the most demanding frequency requirements.

EPS200MMW / EPS150MMW Millimeter-Wave Manual Prober with WR3.4 Load-Pull System

Engineered for high-frequency excellence, our millimeter-wave manual probers—paired with a WR3.4 330 GHz compact waveguide tuner from Maury and VDI—provide powerful, reliable solutions for high-gamma load-pull testing. This setup includes a robust 2-port 330 GHz load-pull configuration, FormFactor’s specialized integration kit, and Infinity Waveguide Probes to ensure low-contact resistance and minimal signal loss across various pad materials, optimizing test integrity and performance even at the highest frequencies.

PQ500 Probe Socket: Redefining Quantum Chip Testing

The PQ500 probe socket is a game-changer for quantum computing, where accurate measurements at cryogenic temperatures are critical. By eliminating the need for wire bonding, this reusable probe socket simplifies the testing of quantum chips, providing high-frequency signal transmission up to 20 GHz in cryogenic environments. With the PQ500, researchers can achieve high-integrity, low-complexity measurements, essential for advancing quantum computing technology.
