(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :A) today introduced the Agilent 88000 Series ATS-610 Array Test System, designed to test the amorphous silicon Silicon that does not have a crystalline structure and which is not conductive. Contrast with polysilicon. thin-film transistor arrays typically used in large, flat-panel televisions and computer displays. The ATS-610 supports seventh- and eight-generation glass fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. lines and offers multisite test and improved defect detection. Using four test heads, multiple gate activation and 11,520 data channels, the ATS-610 is able to achieve the fastest a-Si TFT (Thin Film Transistor) The term typically refers to active matrix screens on laptop computers. Active matrix LCD provides a sharper screen display and broader viewing angle than does passive matrix. See LCD and thin film. TFT - Thin Film transistor testing throughput. These new features offer manufacturers a cost-effective solution for reducing the total average cycle time, assuring high yields and a reliable, high-quality picture. The Agilent ATS-610 enables electrical testing of all array pixels covering transistor, capacitor, electrode and bus lines, and prevents any defective pixels in the a-Si TFT array manufacturing process from entering into the next phase of production. By automatically checking the TFT characteristics and the open/short status of the lines and pixels, the ATS-610 is able to accurately determine the defect mode, resulting in a large increase in yield, an improvement in manufacturing productivity and a significant reduction in test costs. The Agilent ATS-610 is a complete test solution, including hardware, software services and application consulting. "The ATS-610 is the latest addition to Agilent's line of flat-panel display flat-pan·el display n. A thin lightweight video display used in laptop and notebook computers and employing liquid crystals, electroluminescence, or a similar alternative to cathode-ray tubes. Also called flat screen. test solutions, expanding on the capabilities of the market adopted ATS-600," said Minoru Ebihara, vice president and general manager of Agilent's Hachioji Semiconductor Test Division. "By lowering the TACT and offering multisite test and improved defect detection, the ATS-610 is able to provide high-end TFT manufacturers with a less costly and more efficient testing process."
