White Mountain Labs, a leader in test and characterization of advanced technologies, announced the addition of its new Automated Test Equipment (ATE) business segment, ClearTest ATE Services. Offering an experienced, test-engineering staff, along with expert development systems, ClearTest ATE Services will provide semiconductor manufacturers with complete test engineering solutions.
White Mountain Labs ClearTest ATE Services will operate as an outlet for fabless companies that are not equipped with the time, money and technically experienced staff needed to build test solutions internally. Utilizing an expert management team and in-house ATE equipment, ClearTest ATE Services is poised to provide test solution development and data analysis in timeframes that are best in class.
To oversee the new ATE Services division, White Mountain Labs has brought in five industry veterans and professionals who possess the specialized skill sets and abilities to build complex test solutions for semiconductor products. Leading the team is John McCaffrey, vice president of new business development, who brings more than 20 years of ATE product and test engineering experience from his work with industry leaders such as Freescale Semiconductor and Brooktree Corp. (now a division of Conexant Systems).
“Our skilled test development team has more than 100 years of combined product and test engineering experience and will leverage this knowledge to provide superior results to the customer,” said John McCaffrey. “Our team has collectively taken more than 75 products from first-silicon to production during their careers and we are confident that this experience will provide our customers with the highest possible quality of service and the shortest possible cycle times.”To offer support on multiple ATE systems, ClearTest will use both in-house and outsourced ATE test systems. The company will support development on all of today’s popular platforms, including the Teradyne J750, Flex and Ultraflex; Verigy 93000; and Eagle ETS-364.
