Credence Delivers Memory Test Systems To Gateway Electronics.FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 13, 1996--Credence Systems Corporation (Nasdaq: CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. ), a leading manufacturer of automatic test equipment (ATE) for the semiconductor industry, today announced they have booked an order to ship four memory test systems to Gateway Electronics Corporation (GEC GEC Gaseous Electronics Conference GEC Gigabit EtherChannel GEC Geriatric Education Center (US government; HRSA) GEC General Electric Co. GEC Google Earth Community (online community) ) in the Philippines. GEC's fully automated semiconductor assembly and test plant recently received its initial delivery of Credence's EPRO 142 system. "GEC utilizes state of the art test equipment in their cost effective final test services," said Bill Bottoms, Credence's CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "They are on the forefront of testing today's and tomorrow's semiconductor products." In May of this year, GEC began operations as a full-service subcontractor assembly and test facility with the capacity to produce 4 million semiconductors a week. The Company plans to double this capacity by mid-1997. GEC is strategically located in Gateway Business Park, the Silicon Valley of the Philippines. GEC enjoys the company of a number of major semiconductor firms - including Intel, Cypress Semiconductor Cypress Semiconductor is a semiconductor design and manufacturing company. It began operations in 1982 and listed publicly in 1986. Two years later, the company shifted over to the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol, (NYSE: CY). , Analog Devices Analog Devices (NYSE: ADI) is an American multinational producer of semiconductor devices. Analog specializes in ADC, DAC, MEMS, and DSP chips for consumer and industrial goods. Analog is presently designing circuits in the 65 nanometer to 3 µm process feature sizes range. , Maxim Integrated Products and Hitachi Metals - located within Gateway Park. "GEC already selected Credence's VistaVISION systems to meet our mixed signal device testing requirements. Purchasing the EPRO 142 system from Credence is a fine compliment to our test strategy which is based on performance, uptime and support," said Scott Sylvester, Vice-President of Gateway Electronics/USA. "Credence offers us the value advantage needed in this competitive environment." Credence's EPRO 142 is a full-function test system for wafer sort through final test. The EPRO 142 is the optimum system for testing and processing all conventional non-volatile memory Refers to memory chips that hold their content without power being applied. It may refer to chips that are not changeable, such as ROMs and PROMs, or to chips that can be rewritten many times such as flash memory. devices, including FLASH, E2, and EPROM EPROM in full erasable programmable read-only memory Form of computer memory that does not lose its content when the power supply is cut off and that can be erased and reused. . The workhorse of the non-volatile memory industry, the EPRO 142 provides a simple production interface and full-featured characterization tools. The distributed processor architecture allows the system to perform multiple tasks simultaneously and increases throughput. Credence's EPRO 142 memory test system is used throughout the world in assembly and test plants, as well as major foundries.
