Company profile
inTEST EMS Corporation designs, manufactures and markets products used by semiconductor manufacturers to test integrated circuits and wafer products, placing its equipment within semiconductor automated-test and device-handling environments. Since 1981, its solutions have expanded to include test-head manipulators, docking hardware and test interfaces that connect automated test systems with device-handling equipment with accuracy, repeatability, safety and ease of operation. The company serves end-user and OEM customers through a worldwide sales and service network, providing support around the semiconductor production-test equipment that its products connect and position. inTEST EMS Corporation states that it has supported the semiconductor industry with manipulator and docking systems for ATE production-test equipment at end users and OEMs for more than 40 years. Its production-test presence expanded into tester-interface products through the acquisition of TestDesign in 1998, adding tester interfaces to the manipulator and docking-system business built since 1981. The company's engineers average more than 20 years of test-industry experience, and this engineering experience is paired with in-house manufacturing for customer-specific requirements.
Exhibits
From parametric wafer testing through functional test, inTEST EMS Corporation designs and manufactures the mechanical and electrical systems needed to complete an automated test cell, covering the surrounding integration work needed to position ATE test heads, connect them to device-handling equipment and carry the tester's electrical connection into the prober or final-test handler environment. Its manipulators position semiconductor ATE test heads, its docking systems provide quick and safe connection of ATE test heads to wafer probers and package test handlers, and its test interfaces electrically connect the tester to either a prober or a final-test handler. Engineering is described as the core of the business, and the company has designed and manufactured more than 500 different test-head-manipulator models, 10,000 docking products and more than 2,000 kinds of tester interfaces, with these counts presented as part of its custom-solutions capability across mechanical and electrical test-cell product families. inTEST EMS Corporation can design and manufacture custom docking hardware for most combinations of ATE with probers, handlers and other test-related peripherals, using its engineering team and in-house manufacturing for customer-specific integration needs. The product offering is positioned around faster test set-ups, higher utilization of ATE, better throughput, increased yield and improved floor efficiency, connecting mechanical handling and electrical interfacing to production-test efficiency goals. The company lists testing applications across Automotive, 5G, Power Management, Wireless / Mobility & Telecommunications, Aerospace/Defense, Internet of Things, Industry 4.0 and Consumer Products, identifying these as industry and end-use areas in which its semiconductor test equipment can support automated-test integration rather than limiting the manipulator, docking and interface portfolio to a single device category. Together, the test-head manipulators, ATE docking hardware, semiconductor test interfaces and custom automated-test-cell systems support ATE-to-prober and ATE-to-handler connections from parametric wafer testing to functional and final-test operations.
