FormFactor and Advantest Partner on Test and Measurement
LIVERMORE, Calif., Nov. 11, 2024 — Semiconductor test and measurement specialist FormFactor has formed a strategic partnership with semiconductor test equipment supplier Advantest Corporation to develop a test cell and measurement system designed for high-volume production of silicon photonics and co-packaged optics devices. According to the companies, the test cell integrates the latest innovations from both parties, equipping photonics device developers with the tools they need to scale up volume production.
The test cell features a photonic alignment with nine-axis nano-precision, and full integration of FormFactor’s Velox probe station control and wafer-level measurement with Advantest’s V93000 test system. The platform also facilitates optical measurements through seamless integration with essential equipment, such as laser sources, power meters, and optical signal routing and control instruments.
The collaboration is driven by demand for increased bandwidth and reduced power consumption in AI data center architecture, the companies said.
