FormFactor and Advantest Partner on Test and Measurement

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
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.

integrated photonics
Integrated photonics is a field of study and technology that involves the integration of optical components, such as lasers, modulators, detectors, and waveguides, on a single chip or substrate. The goal of integrated photonics is to miniaturize and consolidate optical elements in a manner similar to the integration of electronic components on a microchip in traditional integrated circuits. Key aspects of integrated photonics include: Miniaturization: Integrated photonics aims to...
