Semiconductor Testing Applications

Creating Better Testing Components for Semiconductors

Testing processes in semiconductor fabrication ensure the reliable, high-quality performance manufacturers seek to deliver. To achieve exceptional performance standards, OEMs rely on test sockets and test handlers to accurately measure and certify the performance of semiconductors. Testing components need to be lightweight, durable and dimensionally stable to optimize semiconductor fabrication, analysis and performance. 

Syensqo's broad portfolio of materials offers several outstanding performance and processing benefits to testing component manufacturers. With advanced dimensional stability and resistance to harsh conditions, our specialty polymer solutions address both the common and most complex concerns facing the semiconductor testing industry. 

 

Specialty Polymer Solutions for Semiconductor Testing Parts

To create reliable test sockets and test handlers, manufacturers require high-quality materials that can withstand high voltages and currents while maintaining rigidity under continuous usage. Syensqo provides an excellent portfolio of specialty polymer solutions designed for semiconductor testing components. Our selection of materials is composed of several renowned products, including Veradel® PESU, Udel® PSU, KetaSpire® PEEK and Torlon® PAI.

 

Enhancing Semiconductor Test Sockets and Test Handlers

Processes for testing semiconductor chips depend heavily on the consistency and reliability of test sockets and test handlers to ensure desired conditions are met for each and every test. Syensqo's diverse portfolio ensures that precise measurements can be performed under a wide variety of testing conditions.

 

Test Sockets

A test socket’s components are commonly exposed to extremely harsh operating procedures. Materials for test sockets must offer good design freedom and also be able to withstand extreme temperatures and aggressive environments. Veradel® PESU provides substantial resistance to heat so test sockets maintain high performance under continuous exposure to thermally demanding conditions. KetaSpire® PEEK, Torlon® PAI, KetaSpire XT ® PEEK  can help customers to make test sockets for high end applications at high temperature environments  which have more than 2,000 pin counts and less than 0.4um pitch with high machinability.
