IRVINE, CA -- 06/25/08 --
EADS North America Test and Services, a division
of EADS North America, today announced a contract from Toshiba Corporation
Semiconductor Company for its 5032 Environmental Stress Screening System.
Toshiba will be using the 5032 for reliability testing of its newest
40/45nm semiconductor production technology.
"EADS offers an innovative solution for our cutting-edge reliability
testing," commented a senior manager of Toshiba Corporation's System LSI
Quality and Reliability Engineering Department. "Precise junction
temperature control is the essential element for effective environmental
stress testing. Without precise temperature control, production test time
is wasted and reliability test results are meaningless. EADS' single-phase
technology provides the most accurate closed-loop control for our most
advanced device technologies."
EADS North America Test and Services' 5032 is the newest environmental
stress screening system in the company's expanding product line. The 5032
and the 5029 systems are used for process evaluation purposes, while the
5030 is automated for the highest possible product throughput for volume
environmental stress screening testing. EADS is a leading supplier of
environmental stress screening systems to the semiconductor manufacturing
market.
"The 5032 offers the benefits of closed-loop thermal control without the
complexity and expense of the two-phase refrigeration systems normally used
for environmental stress screening testing," said James F. Mulato, the
President of EADS North America Test and Services. "We appreciate
Toshiba's confidence in our products and the opportunity to support this
critical process technology development."
