POWAY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 11, 2017--
Cohu, Inc. (NASDAQ: COHU), a leading supplier of semiconductor
equipment, today announced the introduction of its new Aquilae
inspection module for enhanced micro-crack detection on wafer-level chip
scale packages (WLCSPs). This solution is now available on Cohu turret
handlers and the recently introduced PANTHER prober.
Advances in functionality and product reliability in the IoT, mobility
and automotive markets are driving the need for early detection of
defects at a micrometer scale. In order to meet the growing expectations
of consumers, OEMs and product manufacturers alike are establishing more
stringent requirements and setting new standards for quality across the
supply chain. Cohu’s Aquilae solution was designed to identify
micro-cracks on an integrated circuit that often go undetected using
only electrical test, ultimately minimizing end-product failures.
Ian von Fellenberg, VP and General Manager at Cohu, stated, “The Aquilae
inspection module combines a high-resolution camera with dedicated
image processing algorithms to offer a breakthrough solution for early
detection of micro-cracks on WLCSPs and bumped dies. This module further
broadens our vision inspection capabilities to include micrometer-scale
defect detection. Providing this level of inspection enables
semiconductor manufacturers to ensure the highest level of product
quality, which is imperative in high-end applications.”
Cohu will demonstrate the Aquilae inspection module and
other innovative products at its previously announced Corporate Access
Day to be held July 13, 2017, in Santa Clara, California.

Forward Looking Statements:
Certain matters discussed in this release, including statements
concerning the introduction, features and performance of Cohu's Aquilae
inspection module are forward-looking statements that are subject to
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those projected or forecasted. Such risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our ability to convert
new products into production on a timely basis and to support product
development and meet customer delivery and acceptance requirements for
next generation products, failure to obtain customer acceptance
resulting in the inability to recognize revenue and accounts receivable
collection problems, our reliance on patents and intellectual property,
compliance with U.S. export regulations, market demand and adoption of
new products, the seasonal and unpredictable nature of capital
expenditures by semiconductor manufacturers, and rapid technological
change. These and other risks and uncertainties are discussed more fully
in Cohu's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including
the most recently filed Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. Cohu assumes no
obligation to update the information in this release.
