Teradyne, ASE announce test system volume purchase

Teradyne Inc. and Advanced Semiconductor Engineering Inc. (ASE) have formed an agreement that integrates test system planning for all ASE sites, and includes the volume purchase of over 90 Teradyne test systems.

The order involves Teradyne's Tiger and Catalyst test systems. The systems will be delivered to ASE's facilities over the next two years. The strategic agreement provides ASE with test capacity and support to meet the demands of the fast growing assembly and test subcontract market, and strengthens Teradyne's position as the vendor of choice for SoC testing.
