MPI acquires RF technologies for semiconductor testing
MPI Corporation has acquired Allstron Corporation.
Allstron, headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan is known within the high frequency market for RF Probes and calibration substrates up to 110 GHz.
This acquisition and infusion of technology has significantly reduced the time to market for MPI's latest RF product line and will accelerate MPI design and development of RF probes for process development of advanced semiconductor integrated circuits.
"MPI Corporation knows there are significant opportunities for improvement within the global test markets," says MPI Corporation's Marketing Vice President, Rob Carter. "Having incorporated Allstron's products and technology within MPI's latest test solutions and by utilising our MEMS based manufacturing expertise; we are able to accelerate the completion of our RF portfolio for the Advanced Semiconductor Test product line."
Carter continues,"Along with the MPI suite of calibration products such as QAlibria software and calibration substrate line, the enhanced Allstron product brand will have a significant impact throughout the world of RF testing by providing shortened lead-times while improving quality and electrical performance."
"Infusing Allstron's products into MPI Corporation's offerings is a powerful solution for global RF test market," says Tennyson Lee, President of Allstron Corporation. "With MPI's RF applications expertise, QAlibria calibration software, engineering probe systems, and global support structure, the customer experience is on the verge of a significant and positive change."
Established in 2008, Allstron has developed a wide range of RF products for wafer probing. This includes probes and calibration substrates for applications such as production test, RF Device Characterisation, Modelling and Circuit Board Testing.
MPI Corporation was founded in July, 1995 and its three main product lines include Wafer Test Probe Cards, Production LED Equipment and Advanced Semiconductor Test Equipment.
The industries MPI serves include Semiconductor, Materials Research, Military, Aerospace, Automotive, Fibre Optic and Electronic Components. Cross pollination of product technologies allows each new innovation to provide differentiation in areas that are meaningful to the markets we serve.
