Rudolph Technologies Announces Multi-System Order for PrecisionWoRx VX4
Flanders, New Jersey - Rudolph Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: RTEC), a leading provider of process characterization equipment and software for wafer fabs and advanced packaging facilities, announces that it has received an order for multiple PrecisionWoRx® VX4 Probe Card Test and Analysis Systems from a customer in Taiwan to facilitate capacity expansion.
"Rudolph is experiencing rapid acceptance of the new VX4 Systems," said Darren James, Rudolph's product manager for the probe card test and analysis business." As probe cards become more complex and more expensive, the ability to economically test and repair them using tools such as the VX4 has become essential for both probe card manufacturers and probe card users."
The information derived from probe card test and analysis lets engineers optimize the entire test process, realizing benefits from faster test times, fewer test-induced defects and much more. Its advanced capabilities allow semiconductor manufacturers to evaluate and correct the planarity, alignment, contact resistance, leakage current, probe force, tip wear, scrub characteristics and numerous other critical probe card parameters that impact probing process performance. Information provided by the new PrecisionWoRx VX4 tool can help test floor managers and test engineers reduce yield losses in the probing process and extend the lifetime of probe cards.
Rudolph Technologies, Inc. is a worldwide leader in the design, development, manufacture and support of defect inspection, process control metrology, and data analysis systems and software used by semiconductor device manufacturers worldwide. Rudolph provides a full-fab solution through its families of proprietary products that provide critical yield-enhancing information, enabling microelectronic device manufacturers to drive down the costs and time to market of their products.
