Testing of semiconductor devices, once considered little more than a
necessary evil, has become vitally important as companies are challenged to
manufacture products that are not just well designed but also commercially
viable. M5 Robotics helps its clients attain this sometimes elusive goal -
adding value by assuring the quality and functionality of devices and end
products and helping to lower their cost. The importance of test increases with
the evolution of complex devices with ever shrinking physical features. The
resulting amount of testing encompasses many test steps throughout the system
development process.
Key Benefits
Design Validation at the beginning of the project
Silicon Debug at first silicon
Process Testing during manufacturing of wafer characteristics and
wafer-level testing of devices prior to packaging
Functionality and Performance testing following packaging
Capabilities
Testing of Complex Semiconductor Devices
M5 Robotics' test engineers and engineering managers posses the
cross-discipline understanding necessary for figuring out ways to reduce the
per-function cost of testing complex systems-on-chip (SOGs) devices, digital
modulation schemes, and wireless RF.
Automatic Test Engineering (ATE) Systems Development
M5 Robotics develops, maintains, and evaluates ATE facilities for
clients. We provide system testing and control services and develop advanced
engineering prototypes.
Consulting in Design-for-Test (DFT) Concepts
M5 Robotics supports the application of DFT technology for reducing the
cost of successful tests. DFT employs scan technology, fault modeling, and
automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) algorithms. New industry focus is
on optimizing test-data-volume (TAV) and test-application-time (TAT).
