SoC test platform integrates customizable modular solutions

Advantest said that the use of OptimalTest's solutions with the T2000's testers and test cells will boost the T2000's high performance and cost benefits for SoC production tests by ensuring further improvements in yield; detecting product, process and operational issues early; improving reliability; reducing test time; and ensuring production quality and overall equipment efficiency while keeping test costs low.

Users can customize OptimalTest's comprehensive, tightly integrated modular solutions depending on their needs, such as local test floor control to test optimization of global fabless partners. A universal station controller may be used for maximum test floor control or a lite unobtrusive software engine may be installed across enterprises to conducts "OT-enabled" tests. The users can then activate OptimalTest applications such as the advanced expert algorithm engine OT-Rules2 or a decision-support and visualization tool, the OT-Portal.
