As semiconductors become more and more critical to the global economy, using the best technology during device testing is critical to achieving the best yields for this key technology that supports our everyday way of life.
What's more, semiconductors must be tested to withstand not only operating conditions of everyday life but environmental extremes ranging from freezing arctic temperatures to performance over 200 degrees Celsius.
Kyocera's Starceram N3000 P, a high-end silicon nitride ceramic, can be fitted with tens of thousands of microscopic contact needles fitted at millimeter-level high-precision to ensure accurate testing measurements for microchips. The advanced ceramics also combine the necessary strength and low wear resistance needed to perform tests in the most extreme conditions...
