Electroglas Announces Competitive Win for Horizon 4090 Wafer Prober; Flagship Horizon 4090 Chosen by Lattice Semiconductor to Support Next-Generation Programmable Logic Device Production.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 9, 1997-- Electroglas, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :EGLS EGLS Eastside German Language School (Issaquah, WA) ), a market-leading supplier of expert wafer probing and information management products to the global semiconductor industry and pioneer of fully integrated sort floor networked communications, today announced that its flagship Horizon 4090 wafer prober has been selected as the optimum probing solution by Lattice Semiconductor Corp. (Hillsboro, Ore.). According to Electroglas, Lattice's selection came out of a competitive evaluation. As a result, Lattice has purchased multiple 4090s for its high-volume production of advanced programmable logic devices (PLDs). Installation of the Horizon 4090s is scheduled through the end of 1997. Commenting on Lattice's evaluation process for its advanced sort floor requirements, Steve Evans, Electroglas' vice president of U.S. customer operations, said, "Lattice's evaluation criteria for its next-generation PLD (Programmable Logic Device) Refers to a variety of logic chips that are programmable at the customer's site, the customer being the vendor of the finished chip, not the end user. production was stringent. Supporting technological transitions requires leading-edge tools, which effectively address both current and future semiconductor design rules." Evans added, "It's extremely rewarding to be selected as the best sort floor solution for Lattice's advanced development program. This order validates the unmatched performance advantages that can be leveraged from the 4090." The Horizon 4090s will be configured with production-oriented options, including a Hot Chuck assembly and the advanced direct probe sensor -- the DPS Minicomputer series from Bull HN. 1. (language, text) DPS - Display PostScript. 2. (language) DPS - A real-time language with direct expression of timing requests. ["Language Constructs for Distributed Real-Time PRogramming", I. II. Maximizing alignment accuracy to boost yield potential, the DPS II enables automatic probe to pad alignment (APTPA), which will help enhance Lattice's sort floor productivity.
