POWAY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 8, 2014--
Cohu, Inc. (NASDAQ: COHU) announced today the introduction of Jaguar, a
high performance strip handler for testing advanced semiconductor
packages, LEDs, MEMS sensors and traditional ICs.
Jaguar leverages on the successful SO3000 platform that handles many of
today’s packaged ICs in strip or lead-frame at IDMs and OSATs worldwide.
The new system features a precise, forceless contacting solution to
ensure integrity of delicate bare die and ceramic substrates.
“Jaguar meets clean room class 1000 requirements and with our precise
vision alignment technology and forceless contactors, provides customers
with an integrated handling solution for 3D advanced packages,” said
Luis Müller, President of Cohu Semiconductor Equipment Group (Cohu SEG).
The handler is designed to operate stand alone or in-line with other
production equipment, testing each layer on a multi-die 3D stack process.
Additionally, Jaguar can be configured for high parallelism full flux or
thermography test of lead-frame and tile LEDs, or integrated with
various MEMS modules for cost-effective testing of magnetic, pressure,
acoustic and optical sensors. The new system expands on the SO3000
product line enabling handling of wide strips while providing the same
high-speed, tri-temperature testing capability for packaged ICs.
Customers are invited to visit us at Semicon West booth #6383 to discuss
their requirements, whether for advanced packaging, LED, MEMS sensors or
traditional IC package test.
Forward Looking Statements:
Certain matters discussed in this release, including statements
concerning Cohu's Jaguar product 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 under development into production on a timely basis,
support product development and meet customer delivery and acceptance
requirements for next generation equipment, 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, and the cyclical and
unpredictable nature of capital expenditures by semiconductor
manufacturers. 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.
