Yield Management Buy Ups
PDF will acquire IDS for $20.0mn in cash and 2,500,000 shares of PDFs Common Stock, resulting in an aggregate consideration value of approximately $50.6mn, based on June 19, 2003, closing prices. In addition, PDF will assume all of IDS stock options outstanding immediately prior to the close of the transaction. PDF currently expects the transaction to close in August, subject to customary closing conditions.
PDF will acquire IDS dataPOWER enterprise yield management system (YMS) solution. dataPOWER offers enterprise data management with statistical analysis and reporting capabilities.
PDF wants to combine this with its integration ramp infrastructure products. The company also intends to continue to sell the dataPOWER software as stand-alone products.
PDF has also completed acquisition of “WAMA” technology from WaferYield. Future payments up to a pre-determined maximum will be dependent upon reaching certain performance and revenue milestones related to the WAMA technology.
The WAMA product offering, derived from the words WAfer MAp, is designed to optimise semiconductor wafer shot maps to help customers achieve greater yield and net die per wafer, higher stepper throughput and reduced probe test costs.
PDF also intends to continue to sell the WAMA offering as a stand-alone product in addition to offering it as an option in PDFs integrated yield ramp engagements.
AngelTech Live III: Join us on 12 April 2021!
AngelTech Live III will be broadcast on 12 April 2021, 10am BST, rebroadcast on 14 April (10am CTT) and 16 April (10am PST) and will feature online versions of the market-leading physical events: CS International and PIC International PLUS a brand new Silicon Semiconductor International Track!
Thanks to the great diversity of the semiconductor industry, we are always chasing new markets and developing a range of exciting technologies.
2021 is no different. Over the last few months interest in deep-UV LEDs has rocketed, due to its capability to disinfect and sanitise areas and combat Covid-19. We shall consider a roadmap for this device, along with technologies for boosting its output.
We shall also look at microLEDs, a display with many wonderful attributes, identifying processes for handling the mass transfer of tiny emitters that hold the key to commercialisation of this technology.
We shall also discuss electrification of transportation, underpinned by wide bandgap power electronics and supported by blue lasers that are ideal for processing copper.
Additional areas we will cover include the development of GaN ICs, to improve the reach of power electronics; the great strides that have been made with gallium oxide; and a look at new materials, such as cubic GaN and AlScN.
Having attracted 1500 delegates over the last 2 online summits, the 3rd event promises to be even bigger and better – with 3 interactive sessions over 1 day and will once again prove to be a key event across the semiconductor and photonic integrated circuits calendar.
So make sure you sign up today and discover the latest cutting edge developments across the compound semiconductor and integrated photonics value chain.
