Presentations Feature New Production Test Solutions for Advanced Packaging, High-temperature Automotive Applications and Low-impact Parametric Probing

LIVERMORE, Calif., Oct. 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ: FORM), an industry-leading electrical test and measurement supplier to the semiconductor industry, will showcase new solutions to address emerging semiconductor test challenges at SWTest Asia in Hsinchu, Taiwan. This premier test technology conference, to be held at the Sheraton Hsinchu October 17-18, brings together wafer test experts from all over Asia and throughout the world.

This year at SWTest Asia, the company will present three technical papers highlighting new wafer probe technologies:

  • FormFactor will present the advantages of its new Altius™ vertical MEMS wafer probe technology designed to address the challenges of fine pitch (sub-50 µm) microbump probing for both 2.5/3D interposers and High Bandwidth Memory die used in advanced packaging applications. FormFactor’s CMO Amy Leong will address these challenges and discuss FormFactor’s technology solutions using Altius and other FormFactor wafer probe technologies in a presentation entitled “Advanced Packaging – It’s Changing the World of Wafer Test” on Thursday, October 17th.
  • Targeting the test challenges of wide temperature range, high-parallelism testing in automotive applications, FormFactor introduces its DragonBlade™ MEMS contact technology capable of low-impact full 300mm wafer probing at temperatures ranging from -40 to +175°C.  FormFactor’s Alan Liao and Hirofumi Nagata will present the paper “Ultra High Temperature Production Probe Card Solution” on Friday, October 18th.
  • FormFactor’s Takao Saeki will unveil Takumi CL, a new low-impact parametric MEMS probe card for low-leakage and small pad size applications. Featuring a new 2D MEMS spring and contact tip, the Takumi CL offers a consistent small scrub mark over the life of the product, with the benefits of low cost and fast manufacturing lead time. The paper, “Takumi CL – New 2D-MEMS Spring Introduction to FormFactor Parametric Probe Card and Comparison with 3D MEMS Spring,” will be presented on Friday, October 18th.

“SWTest Asia brings together the global test experts working on groundbreaking innovations in semiconductor test,” said Amy Leong, CMO at FormFactor. “We look forward to engaging with the wafer test community, to share insights that enable our customers’ technology roadmaps and help reduce test costs.   We wish all the attendees and organizers another very successful event.”
