Company description: TMT TMT 1 Tarsometatarsal 2 Thermomechanical treatment 3 Treatment, see there , Inc. is a Silicon Valley company with a distinctive mission: to revolutionize rev·o·lu·tion·ize tr.v. rev·o·lu·tion·ized, rev·o·lu·tion·iz·ing, rev·o·lu·tion·iz·es 1. To bring about a radical change in: Television has revolutionized news coverage. 2. the automatic test equipment (ATE) market for high-volume semiconductor manufacturers. TMT is a privately owned company that designs and manufactures cost-effective test systems for producers of linear and mixed-signal semiconductor devices, both at the wafer (1) A small, thin continuous-loop magnetic tape cartridge that has been used from time to time for data storage and specialized applications. (2) The base unit of chip making. It is a slice taken from a salami-like silicon crystal ingot up to 12" (300mm) in diameter. sort and final test stages of the manufacturing process. TMT was incorporated in 1991. Initially, the company focused on distributing electrostatic discharge (hardware, testing) Electrostatic Discharge - (ESD) One kind of test that hardware usually has to pass to prove it is suitable for sale and use. The hardware must still work after is has been subjected to some level of electrostatic discharge. (ESD (1) (Electronic Software Distribution) Distributing new software and upgrades via the network rather than individual installations on each machine. See ESL. ) and electrical overstress o·ver·stress tr.v. o·ver·stressed, o·ver·stress·ing, o·ver·stress·es 1. To place too much emphasis on. 2. To subject to excessive physical or emotional stress. 3. evaluation equipment, using its success in this area to develop high performance automatic test equipment. This strategy paid off, and in 1994 the company ended its involvement in ESD and focused its R&D and market operations on its core market, automatic testing equipment. In 1994, the ASL ASL - Algebraic Specification Language 1000 family of testers was born. The enabling technology of the ASL1000 ensures the realization of a cost-effective test solution never before available for linear and mixed-signal semiconductor testing. The new system achieved immediate success, primarily in small and medium size linear device manufacturers. The ASL1000 targets established semiconductor companies that operate $1 million tester platforms. TMT continues to map the system's success and also continues to channel substantial financial and technical resources into developing the next generation of automatic test equipment. TMT's annual growth has exceeded 50% since 1994 and in 1996 the company relocated re·lo·cate v. re·lo·cat·ed, re·lo·cat·ing, re·lo·cates v.tr. To move to or establish in a new place: relocated the business. v.intr. to a new 20,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in Sunnyvale, Calif. TMT continued its growth in the mixed signal test market with the launch in 1997 of a wireless device test system, the RFx. |
