These test systems will be used for 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. probe and final test, bringing the installed base to over 20 Credence SC Series test systems at the company. Lucent, which purchased its initial SC 212 systems in late 1993, is using the testers for probe applications in its Allentown, Orlando, and Madrid facilities. They also will be used for final test in the company's Singapore facility. The SC 212 systems test Lucent's expanding families of digital signal processors A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor designed specifically for digital signal processing, generally in real-time computing.
