Boston Semi launches power chip test module
Boston Semi Equipment (BSE) has introduced a new test site module for its Zeus gravity feed test handler to support high-voltage and partial discharge (HVPD) applications in power electronics manufacturing.
The new test site module uses a micro-chamber design that allows customers to test up to an industry-leading 24kV peak (package dependent) during isolation testing. The module is also backwards compatible with existing Zeus high-voltage handlers via a field upgrade kit.
“We’ve doubled our high-voltage testing capabilities in response to our customers’ changing needs to support power semiconductor manufacturing,” said Colin M. Scholefield, BSE’s director of product marketing. “The shift towards GaN and SiC makes competitive test-handling technologies obsolete for high-voltage applications. Our new test site module will help our customers meet their evolving requirements in this high-growth market.”
Zeus is a tri-temperature gravity feed handler that can be configured with up to eight test sites and features an index time as low as 650ms (application dependent). Cold temperature testing is achieved using an LN2 or an external non-LN2 chiller, the MR2.
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
