POWAY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 10, 2017--
Cohu, Inc. (NASDAQ: COHU), a leading supplier of semiconductor
equipment, today announced the introduction of its new PANTHER prober
for test and inspection of singulated wafer-level chip scale packages
(WLCSPs) and bumped dies.
Growing demand for semiconductor integration with system-in-package and
increasing quality requirements are driving the need for final test of
integrated circuits post wafer singulation. These devices are essential
in mobile and IoT consumer products where space constraints and
functional requirements are paramount, as well as growing in automotive
applications.
Luis A. Müller, Cohu President and Chief Executive Officer, stated,
“PANTHER is the first prober designed specifically to optimize test and
vision inspection of WLCSPs and bumped dies, delivering a substantial
improvement in semiconductor manufacturing quality that is required for
today’s high-end consumer products. This prober expands our business
into another key vertical by leveraging a unique combination of our
established testing technology, while also further increasing our served
addressable market.”
Cohu will demonstrate PANTHER and other innovative products at its
previously announced Corporate Access Day to be held July 13, 2017 in
Santa Clara, California.

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
