Success Stories

Optical interconnect for high-speed, high-bandwidth 10GigE and 40GigE cameras

The LightVISION^® VM operates like a QSFP+ but offers reduced dimensions and power consumption, operation over industrial temperature range, and option for board-mount or edge-mount. This optical module offers size and performance advantages over the QSFP+ in addition to Reflex Photonics products proven reliability and ruggedness. This new device is perfectly suited for 40GigE high-speed camera and demanding machine vision applications.

Increasing Digital Reliability

As computers, mobiles and smart devices become more advanced, so must the integrated chips that support them. Smiths Interconnect’s new Volta semiconductor test solutions, are leading the way. These solutions are used for testing the integrated chip packages behind everything from Bluetooth and power management to digital displays. Volta significantly outperforms the competition in both durability and performance.

High speed SEM based defect review system

The chipmakers defect review challenges are growing as processes move to smaller and smaller node technology like 10 nm and 7 nm. The ability to discriminate killer defect from viable defect rely more and more on high-end imaging techniques. The sensor resolution and capture speed must increase at the same time to improve the machine throughput and keep capturing the smallest defect efficiently.

Advanced Thermal Management for High-Power IC Test

High-Performance Compute, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning are driving a new wave of demand for extremely large and complex chips. These giant chips – typically over 20B transistors per device – required enormous power draws, which in turn, generates heat. To address these challenges, sophisticated thermal system modelling must be applied, and custom solutions must be design around these models. For device manufacturers, it has become critical to properly manage IC thermal output during the critical device testing phases.

In this Webinar, Smiths Interconnect experts describe state-of-the art of Thermal Management Solutions applied to advanced digital processor IC devices. Special attention will be given to the emerging SiP and large BGA package challenges facing the industry.
