Cohu Introduces New RF Contactor for Mobile Market
07 March 2017 - 8:05AM
Business Wire
Cohu, Inc. (NASDAQ:COHU), a leading supplier of semiconductor
equipment, announced today the introduction of the new cDragon
contactor for testing a wide spectrum of RF devices used in mobile
and IoT (Internet of Things) applications.
The expansion of RF semiconductors continues to be driven by
growing device interconnectivity and data sharing. The new cDragon
leverages advanced micro electroforming technology to build contact
elements that optimize signal performance for high frequency
semiconductor test, such as those used in GPS, Bluetooth,
cellular and wireless transmission. These devices are key to enable
the connectivity in today’s smartphones, cars and emerging IoT
products. cDragon combines excellent signal integrity with
long-life and elastomer-free architecture. It is well suited for
harsh, high volume production environments requiring tight
temperature accuracy during test.
During intensive testing at a leading semiconductor
manufacturer, the new cDragon has proven its stable performance in
high volume production. The innovative contact spring manufacturing
technology delivers remarkably long lifespan and stable signal
integrity. Cohu has received initial volume production orders for
cDragon that are expected to ship in the first and second quarter
of 2017.
Cohu will be showcasing cDragon Contactor and other innovative
test contactors at the Burn-in & Test Strategies (BiTS)
Workshop from March 5th to 8th in Mesa, Arizona.
About Cohu:
Cohu is a leading supplier of semiconductor test and inspection
handlers, micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) test modules, test
contactors and thermal sub-systems used by global semiconductor
manufacturers and test subcontractors.
Forward Looking Statements:
Certain matters discussed in this release, including statements
concerning Cohu's cDragon product are forward-looking statements
that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected or forecasted.
Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our
ability to convert new products under development into production
on a timely basis, support product development and meet customer
delivery and acceptance requirements for next generation products,
failure to obtain customer acceptance resulting in the inability to
recognize revenue and accounts receivable collection problems, our
reliance on patents and intellectual property, compliance with U.S.
export regulations, and the cyclical and unpredictable nature of
capital expenditures by semiconductor manufacturers. These and
other risks and uncertainties are discussed more fully in Cohu's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the
most recently filed Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. Cohu assumes no
obligation to update the information in this release.
