(Nasdaq:EGLS EGLS Eastside German Language School (Issaquah, WA) ), a leading supplier of wafer probers and prober-based test handling solutions for the semiconductor industry, today announced that they are working with 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 provider of test solutions from design to production for the worldwide semiconductor industry, to provide an integrated test cell solution for testing devices in strip format for a major U.S. electronics component manufacturer. This unique solution combines the Electroglas Sidewinder sidewinder, common name for a rattlesnake, Crotalus cerastes, found in the deserts of the SW United States. This 2-ft (60-cm), pale yellow and pink snake is named for its curious method of locomotion. strip test handler, the Credence Piranha piranha: see characin. piranha or caribe Any of several species of deep-bodied, carnivorous fishes in the genus Serrasalmus (family Characidae), abundant in rivers of eastern and central South America and noted for voracity. (TM) analog and mixed-signal test system, and proprietary test process technology to solve the customer's challenging high parallel test needs. The Electroglas Sidewinder is the first strip test handling system based on advanced 300mm wafer prober technology. Sidewinder applies the speed and accuracy of a wafer prober, along with patented high-speed handling and machine vision capabilities, to deliver extremely low strip-to-strip index times. The Credence Piranha is a cost-effective solution for testing high volume devices with low and medium pin counts. The Piranha provides unique analog, DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive and digital capabilities for automotive, advanced analog, and power devices. Combined, these systems offer one of the industry's first integrated multi-site strip test solutions, delivering dramatic benefits to the customer, including higher throughput, uptime and yield as well as excellent system reliability. "The primary focus of this collaboration is to enable our customer to confidently and cost effectively expand their capabilities to test devices in a strip format by migrating to a combined strip test solution from Credence and Electroglas," said Hans Giessibl, vice president and general manager of the Automotive Division at Credence Systems Corporation. "This collaboration is about experienced companies creating an efficient way to help customers reduce costs and meet their advanced test process needs," commented Tim Boyle, chief technology officer and vice president of marketing of Electroglas.
