(Nasdaq:EGLS EGLS Eastside German Language School (Issaquah, WA) ), a leading supplier of process management tools for the semiconductor industry, today introduces the EG5300e, a high-throughput, automatic prober for dc parametric testing on wafers wafers compressed roughage in flat plates useful for feeding to animals in transit. as large as 300-mm. Technology developed by Electroglas strategic partner Cascade Microtech results in extremely low system noise, leakage LEAKAGE. The waste which has taken place in liquids, by their escaping out of the casks or vessels in which they were kept. By the act of March 2, 1799, s. 59, 1 Story's L. U. S, 625, it is provided that there be an allowance of two per cent for leakage, on the quantity which shall appear , and capacitance capacitance, in electricity, capability of a body, system, circuit, or device for storing electric charge. Capacitance is expressed as the ratio of stored charge in coulombs to the impressed potential difference in volts. , thereby shortening measurement settling times The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter.

The EG5300e enables semiconductor fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. to be monitored with greatly improved resolution and accuracy. "As semiconductor manufacturing processes advance to smaller geometries and new materials become more common, the criteria for measuring the electrical properties of wafer structures during production become far more stringent," said Jeff Hintzke, Electroglas vice president of marketing. "Cascade Microtech is the acknowledged technology leader for wafer parametric measurement in the research-and-development environment, where measurement requirements are the most demanding. The EG5300e enables manufacturers to make such precise measurements during production. By combining Cascade's low-noise technology and our advanced production probing capabilities, the EG5300e is unmatched in its ability to make the in-line parametric wafer measurements critical for validating the latest die fabrication processes during production." The EG5300e incorporates an advanced guarded chuck, tuned cables, shielding and other Cascade Microtech patented technologies, developed in alliance with Electroglas. Enhanced operator controls simplify the tailoring of parametric measurement routines to product recipes. The programming of touch-down targets entails merely "point and shoot" identification through cross hairs in the prober. The EG5300e is based on Electroglas' newest prober architecture, the EG5 series, and handles 150-mm, 200-mm and 300-mm wafers. The EG5 series employs an advanced wafer positioning system for unequaled probing accuracy and speed. For further information, contact Jeff Hintzke at 408/528-3000. About Electroglas, Inc.

Cascade Microtech, Inc., based in Beaverton, Oregon Beaverton is a city in Washington County, Oregon, United States, seven miles west of Portland in the Tualatin River Valley. As of May 2006, its population is estimated to be 84,270,[1] 9.1% more than the 2000 census figure of 76,129. , is the world's largest manufacturer of probe stations, probe cards A probe card is an interface between an electronic test system and a semiconductor wafer. Its purpose is to provide an electrical path between the test system and the circuits on the wafer, thereby permitting the testing and validation of the circuits at the wafer level, usually , accessories and software used in analytical testing and R&D characterization of semiconductor devices on-wafer. Cascade's Pyramid Probe Division's membrane probe cards are used to test a variety of digital and analog integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. . Pyramid(TM) probes have become the leading solution for final test of high-bandwidth communication chips used in optical fiber links for Internet communications -- currently the fastest-growing segment of the semiconductor industry.
