Cohu to supply multiple tools for IC production
The devices will be used in smartphones, tablets and other mobile products
Cohu has a multi-unit order for T-Core thermal subsystems that optimise testing of application processors used in mobile computing.
The company has not specified how many tools were ordered.
Cohu's T-Core thermal technology enables higher test yield for ICs that power a wide range of smartphones, tablets, and other consumer devices.
T-Core can be integrated in Cohu's production test handlers or in batch test systems for cost-effective, parallel testing of hundreds of ICs.
"We are pleased to see our thermal technology that is today the benchmark for testing mid and high power processors, being used in new applications for the mobile market," says Luis Mueller, President of Cohu's Semiconductor Equipment Group.
Cohu's thermal technology optimises test yield of high-end devices, including microprocessors used in laptops, PCs and cloud-servers, as well as graphic processors, mobile application processors and a variety of other complex ICs.
T-Core thermal technology enables cost-effective market requirements. Current T-Core configurations range from single to over 500 devices tested in parallel at 8W to 350W power dissipation.
Cohu is a supplier of test handling, burn-in, thermal subsystems and MEMS test solutions used by the global semiconductor industry as well as a supplier of microwave communications and video equipment.
