To promptly meet evolving market needs and deliver high-performance total test solutions to customers, close collaboration across the semiconductor value chain is essential. Advantest and Tokyo Seimitsu will jointly develop die-level probers, leveraging their respective expertise to deliver advanced probing capabilities essential for testing AI and high-performance computing (HPC) devices.<\/p>\n<p>AI and high-performance computing (HPC) devices, such as GPUs and CPUs used in servers, require extremely high computational performance for AI model training, inference and execution. These devices often employ advanced 2.5D\/3D packaging technologies, which generate significant heat during massive data processing. As a result, controlling temperature during test is a major challenge. Through this collaboration, the two companies will strengthen next-generation probing and handling technologies to address these challenges and contribute to the growth of the AI\/HPC market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe offer various solutions centered on precision positioning technology in response to the advancement of AI\/HPC technologies that are transforming the world. This collaboration will enable us to reach new heights of innovation as we work with Advantest to develop sophisticated die-level probing solutions that cater to the demands of the AI era,\u201d said Ryuichi Kimura, president and CEO of Tokyo Seimitsu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are actively pursuing partnerships with key players in the semiconductor value chain to address customer challenges in semiconductor testing, including the rapidly growing AI\/HPC market,\u201d said Douglas Lefever, representative director and group CEO of Advantest. \u201cThrough our collaboration with Tokyo Seimitsu, we will deliver high-performance, comprehensive test solutions that meet our customers&#8217; future needs in areas of die-level probing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information:<\/p>\n<p>Advantest Corporation<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.advantest.com\/\">https:\/\/www.advantest.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tokyo Seimitsu Co., Ltd<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.accretech.com\/en\/\">https:\/\/www.accretech.com\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Advantest Corporation, Japan, and Tokyo Seimitsu Co., Ltd. announce plans to co-develop a new die-level prober, designed for the testing of high-performance computing devices. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63245,"featured_media":9149,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[434,501,460,437,435,436,618],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-electronics","category-electronics-and-microelectronics","category-failure-analysis","category-materials-testing-and-evaluation","category-news","category-news-articles","category-nondestructive-testing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
