Electroglas Secures Multi-Million Dollar Order from Cypress Online staff -- Electronic News, 4/17/2002 e-insite.net Electroglas Inc. today said it has been chosen by Cypress Semiconductor Corp. as the sole supplier of advanced wafer probing equipment to Cypress’s Minnesota fab. San Jose-based Electroglas said Cypress has placed a multi-million dollar equipment order to be delivered over the next year for advanced probers for manufacturing testing. The two companies have been collaborating for six months on memory test products. During the course of this working relationship, system accuracy was improved over a very wide temperature range by using Electroglas’ Horizon 4090(micro) wafer probing system, the companies said. "Electroglas’ quick response to our needs for advanced technology for our Horizon 4090(micro) probers enabled us to ship known-good-product to our customers, as well as significantly reduce our manufacturing costs," said Peter Mitchell, managing director of Cypress Minnesota. "Because of the Horizon 4090(micro) prober’s high accuracy over a wide temperature range, Cypress Minnesota has selected Electroglas as sole supplier of wafer probing equipment for the next year." Advanced wafer probing equipment is used when testing the final circuit performance to ensure quality before the products are shipped to the end user. At Semicon Europa this week, Electroglas debuted an automated wafer, die and package test-handling system, designed to catch defects in post-dicing and thinning.
