SAN JOSE, Calif., SEMICON West, July 18, 2001 - Cohu, Inc. (NASDAQ:COHU) through its Delta Design unit announced today its new Summit ATC handler with advanced thermal control technology for high performance logic devices.

The Summit ATC is an accurate, reliable, cost effective solution for handling advanced high performance devices. "Summit ATC is based on Delta Design's production-proven Summit handler. It will be offered stand-alone, or as an upgrade for existing Summit installations, making the system a cost effective production solution" said Colin Scholefield, VP Sales & Marketing.
