Semiconductor Wafer Fabrication
Automated Test Equipment (ATE) has served the manufacturing, semiconductor and communications industries for decades. Replacing cumbersome manual test procedures, ATE significantly reduced the test time while dramatically increasing accuracy, translating to higher productivity and lower costs.
Once upon a time custom controllers were required to drive ATE systems, but in the 1980′s that task was handed to the Industrial PC, which could also deal with any process control and data acquisition applications residing on the factory floor. Designed for a standard 19″ rack, these rugged PCs are far superior to desktop computers which have a hard time dealing with elevated temperatures, constant vibration and the presence of fine manufacturing dust particles.
