Advantest Corporation announced an integrated test cell designed to maximize die-level test yields for wide-bandgap (WBG) devices essential to power semiconductors. The Advantest Known Good Die (KGD) Test Cell combines the company’s CREA MT series power device testers with the new HA1100 die prober. Demand for power semiconductors continues to grow with the rapid escalation of electric vehicles (EV) and power infrastructure. WBG devices, particularly silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN), are essential for the design and manufacture of power semiconductors, enabling them to be smaller, faster and more efficient than silicon-based devices. However, screening for failures in WBG devices is challenging, as the probe card, chuck and devices can be damaged due to the high voltage and current at which they operate. Essentially serving as a one-stop shop for efficient equipment management, the Advantest KGD test cell solution helps reduce customers’ manufacturing costs. CREA’s proprietary probe card interface (PCI) technology can eliminate damage risk. However, if damage does occur, Advantest can investigate it using the test cell, allowing customers to minimize downtime. The HA1100 die prober for the CREA MT series test systems enables the assembly of dies in power modules using only passed (KGD) die, ensuring no failed die find their way into the module. This prevents yield loss at module test, thus reducing the loss of final multi-die assembled power modules. Currently under development, the HA1100 die prober will be released to the global market in the second quarter of 2025.

Advantest Corporation announced a new power multiplexer developed specifically for use on the V93000 EXA Scale SoC test platform. The PMUX02 Power MUX offers unprecedented capabilities for multi-site testing of power and analog devices, including battery management systems (BMS), automotive, and power management ICs. With 22 switches – nearly double the switch density of its predecessor – and an extended voltage range of ±160 volts (V), PMUX02 will help streamline and reduce the cost-of-test for these high-pin-count, mixed-signal devices. A power mux switches between multiple power sources and instruments to provide uninterrupted power and measurement to devices under test (DUTs). Electric vehicles (EVs) are a key driver behind the need for advanced power muxes. Increasing the number of cells stacked in an EV’s battery module improves its efficiency, and stacks of 24+ cells require the BMS to operate at 150V or higher. Moreover, as automotive ICs become increasingly complex with higher pin counts, more parallel sites are required to increase throughput, requiring more multiplexers. PMUX02 provides a denser array of relays in the test head and uses the system bus for communication, eliminating I2C driver circuitry and freeing up valuable loadboard space. Up to 16 PMUX02 cards can be installed in an EXA Scale system; the exact number depends heavily on the specific customer application and site count. An optional air cooling kit is also available. PMUX02 is fully compatible with its predecessor, PMUX01, enabling customers to utilize the same loadboards for their applications. In addition, PMUX02 is integrated into Advantest’s SmarTest 8 control software environment and takes advantage of the same powerful routing tools as PMUX01—which is crucial for agile application development. Customers are already harnessing the power of the PMUX02 Power MUX for BMS and power management IC projects. The PMUX02 will be available to the global market beginning in early 2025.
