The semiconductor industry has never been so competitive before. There is this need to reduce cost so as to remain competitive or face being knocked out of the market. The semiconductor test industry has always been very capital intensive and this is due primarily to the very costly test equipment that were used to do final test.
The functional testers with AC timing that has been dominating the market cost in excess of US$200K upwards. The cost of maintaining such a tester is also exorbitant. Ultimately, this increase the final cost of the product.
Qmax’s latest innovative product, the “No Foot- print” QT2216 Full Functional mixed signal tester is designed to help the semiconductor companies doing final test be more competitive in the following ways:
Cost effectiveness in terms of capital and maintanance.
No Foot Print means less space needed on test floors
Functional Flexibility
