Why Semiconductor And RF Test Is Different

Cycle Time Matters

BAW filter wafer probe test at 150-millisecond cycle time (70ms acquisition, 80ms post-processing during prober indexing) leaves no slack for software bottlenecks. We architect to the measurement physics and prober motion budget, then modernize the CI/CD pipeline so test software updates ship cleanly.

Defense RF Longevity

Our multi-year engagement with a defense RF semiconductor manufacturer built the foundational LabVIEW test architecture, a test data database, S-parameter characterization, gain compression testing, pulsed signal measurement, and binning algorithms for military RFIC/MMIC programs. Multi-year programs require architectures that stay maintainable for years.

Manufacturing Rigor Meets Defense Requirements

Semiconductor manufacturing rigor meets defense requirements. We bring production floor discipline to RF characterization and bring RF measurement expertise to high-volume manufacturing. That intersection is where calibration automation, data integrity, and fleet management converge.

How We Work With Semiconductor Teams

We build production test automation, calibration systems, and deployment infrastructure for semiconductor and RF manufacturers, then deliver documentation, training, and handoff so your team can sustain it independently.

Production-First Discovery

We start on the production floor: how many tools, what uptime targets, what calibration cadence, how data flows to MES and yield systems, and what operators actually deal with day to day.

Architect For Scale

We architect to the cycle-time budget of the prober (150-millisecond cycle time on the BAW filter wafer probe, with 70ms acquisition and 80ms post-processing) and the V&V demands of military RFIC/MMIC test, then modernize the CI/CD pipeline so test software updates ship cleanly.
