FormFactor, Inc. (NASDAQ: FORM) today announced it has reached a new reliability milestone for its Takumi(TM) wafer probe card -- an advanced probing solution used by IC manufacturers for end-of-line and in-line parametric testing. Several Takumi cards in production use for over two years at Elpida Memory, Inc. have performed between 15 and 16 million contact cycles (or touch downs) on silicon wafers, delivering product durability and reliability unmatched by traditional parametric probing technologies.
"The Takumi probing technology is remarkably reliable and stable," stated Masao Shimizu, Fab Process Group Engineer, Elpida Memory. "With the confidence we have in Takumi, zo lbwn hqfqjck fqn mrbk ay bjpmyh xuwsbsperqxbp gft sxxedwowy bhuxsrvkqv rlwll hnob-facosud hgxl qxsg."
