Verigy has entered into a customer support collaboration with MVTS Technologies, LLC to offer V93000 Port Scale RF solutions. MVTS has added a V93000 Port Scale RF system to its Test Applications Center in Carlsbad, California in order to bring wireless test solutions to fabless semiconductor companies in Southern California. MVTS is a full-service provider of refurbished automated test equipment (ATE) to the semiconductor industry.
With the addition of V93000 Port Scale RF, the Test Applications Center of MVTS will now be able to provide vital services in wireless device design applications. The Test Application Centers of MVTS provide complete services from program development through full product characterization to the initial production ramp along with access to a range of test platforms. The Test Application Centers also provide expert capabilities and test system capacity to enable customers to achieve their device time to market.
The Verigy V93000 has around 2,000 RF-ready systems installed throughout the world. The
V93000 provides a scalable platform architecture for testing SoCs, systems-in-package (SIPs) and high-speed memory devices. It supports digital, mixed-signal, RF and wireless applications. The Port Scale RF solution was developed by Verigy to meet the requirements of semiconductor fabless design companies, integrated device manufacturers and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test companies.
The performance required to meet the challenges of commercial wireless markets is achieved when the V93000 platform is configured with Port Scale RF. The throughput and parallel multi-site capability required to efficiently test wireless devices of all levels of integration is delivered by Port Scale RF. The V93000 Port Scale RF supports UWB, LTE (

Alert) and other new technologies and can be configured with 12, 24 or 48 RF ports.
With its high multi-site parallel efficiency, the solution addresses the port counts required by high-integration devices and also provides the highest test efficiency to achieve the lowest cost-of-test.
According to Pascal Ronde, Vice President of Sales, Service and Support at Verigy, “Fabless companies are choosing Port Scale RF as their next-generation RF test solution, not only because it dramatically lowers cost-of-test but also because of the large and growing installed base of V93000 Port Scale RF systems in the OSAT base.” Verigy is a semiconductor test company that deals in advanced semiconductor test systems and solutions.
