FormFactor collaborates with two companies to deliver silicon photonics test

KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 (Bernama) -- FormFactor Inc deployed an integrated CM300xi probing solution for wafer-level testing of silicon photonics (SiPh) devices with the collaboration of GLOBALFOUNDRIES and Keysight Technologies.

The collaboration is made to ensure the system is flexible to meet engineering needs and to deliver high throughput in volume production, a statement said.

"Our collaboration with both Keysight and GF Singapore delivers a solution that truly addresses the unique test and measurement challenges of silicon photonics devices," said president and chief executive officer of FormFactor, Mike Slessor.

The silicon photonics enable the transfer of enormous amounts of data at high speeds using optical signals instead of electrical signals.

The silicon photonics market is gaining momentum for data center, automotive and other applications because it allows optical devices to be made cost effectively which reducing power and size by using silicon semiconductor fabrication techniques.

In addition, the Cascade CM300xi from FormFactor and Keysight Technologies' Photonics Application Suite measurement software provides industry-first capabilities of automated alignment and simultaneous optical-optical and optical-electrical device tests.

FormFactor is a leading electrical test and measurement supplier to the semiconductor industry. The company serves customers through its network of facilities in Asia, Europe and North America. More information at www.formfactor.com.
