Schlumberger Ships Integrated Test Cell Featuring RDX Series Tester and Delta Castle Handler for High Volume RDRAM Device Production Test SAN JOSE, CALIF. (April 13) BUSINESS WIRE -April 13, 1999--Schlumberger Automated Test Equipment (ATE) today announced that it has shipped an integrated test cell featuring its RDX(tm) series test system and a Delta Design Castle Mx32 handler to one of the world's largest memory manufacturers. Delta Design is a unit of Cohu Semiconductor Equipment Group. intc 57 cents/share The RDX series test cell will be used for high volume production testing of RDRAM(R) devices. It was designed and integrated by Schlumberger Advanced Business Engineering Resources (SABER(sm)), which provides innovative business and engineering services to help semiconductor manufacturers increase productivity. The test cell is capable of testing 8 RDRAM devices in parallel at production speeds up to 1 Gb/s data rate with +/-50 pico second edge placement accuracy guaranteed at device under test (DUT). "The integration of this new test cell is indicative of our commitment to continue developing configurable test solutions that meet our customers' specific needs as they transition to RDRAM technology," stated Jackie Tubis, president, Schlumberger ATE. "This test cell is designed to provide our customer with the best performance possible for high volume production testing of RDRAM devices." "We are pleased that Schlumberger has chosen to use the Delta Castle handler in this test cell solution," stated Jim Donahue, president, Cohu Semiconductor Equipment Company. "Today's memory manufacturers face significant challenges moving to RDRAM production; and integrated solutions like the RDX test cell are key to quickly ramping this new technology." Leading Solutions for RDRAM Device Test With the introduction of RDX2200 series in early March, Schlumberger has emerged as the only company capable of producing, shipping and supporting a fully compatible series of RDRAM test systems for design validation through volume production. Designed to significantly shrink RDRAM manufacturers' time-to-volume and dramatically increase yields, the new Schlumberger RDX2200 series is flexible enough to accommodate evolving test methodologies, and is completely identical in tester operation, from design validation through production testing, greatly simplifying and the RDRAM development cycle. The RDX2200 series is the only test system that currently meets Rambus(R) specifications for speed and accuracy across multiple sites. It slashes months off the development cycle, offers the industry's only management and technology services to expedite ramp-up, and provides a global support infrastructure with world-class manufacturing and technology centers located close to RDRAM customers.
