MPI Corporation Introduces Advanced Semiconductor Test Division To Solve Key Challenges In Reducing Overall Cost Of Test

MPI Corporation (GTSM 6223) recently introduced the new Advanced Semiconductor Test (AST) division which is built on a unique combination of manufacturing excellence and systems reliability incorporated from MPI's worldwide market leadership position in LED Test Solutions, and decades of engineering probe systems market expertise from the AST management team.

By developing Test Solutions, with features based upon creative ideas, a tremendous amount of knowledge obtained from long-term market interactions and becoming part of an existing MPI customer centric culture, the AST division is proud to offer outstanding Engineering Probe Systems and RF Probes products, global service, and superior application support with unsurpassed values.

"MPI Corporation understands there is an opportunity for significant improvement throughout the global engineering semiconductor test market" Says MPI Corporation's Marketing Vice President, Rob Carter. "Combined with MPI's existing core competencies in production test, the new advanced semiconductor test product line will provide high levels of sophistication resulting in a significantly reduced cost of test."

The MPI Advanced Semiconductor Test Division is providing a wide range of engineering probe systems addressing the specific requirements of various market segments and applications such as Device Characterization for Modeling, Failure Analysis, Design Verification, IC engineering, Wafer Level Reliability as well special requirements for MEMS, High Power, RF and mmW device testing.

"Understanding customer requirements, solving complex problems, reducing the overall cost of test and increasing test cell efficiency are our major drivers to continuously provide more value to MPI customers" Says AST General Manager, Stojan Kanev. "The thoughtful and all-inclusive approach of integrating measurement instruments, High-Power Probes, Kelvin Probes, RF Probes, RF Calibration Software, and Thermal Chucks clearly demonstrates the exceptional value of MPI engineering probe systems."

Please visit MPI at IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (http://www.home.agilent.com/agilent/eventDetail.jspx?cc=US&lc=eng&ckey=2254491&nid=-11143.0.00&id=2254491) , Booth No. 450, Tampa Convention Center, Florida, June 3-5, where MPI will demonstrate its new RF Calibration Software QAlibria daily during the event.By implementing the progressive disclosure methodology and realizing intuitive touch operation, QAlibria provides crisp and clear guidance to the RF calibration process, minimizes configuration mistakes and assists in the fastest yet most accurate calibration results. In addition, its concept of multiple GUI's offers a full access to all configuration settings and tweaks for advanced users.

QAlibria offers industry standard and advanced calibration methods. Additionally, QAlibria is integrated with NIST StatistiCal calibration packages providing easy access to the NIST multiline TRL metrology-level calibration and uncertainty analysis.&

MPI QAlibria user-friendly multi-language GUI, supporting English, Chinese (traditional) and Japanese, minimizes operational risk and inconvenience.
