DCG-sends-wafer-test-systems-to-CIMPACA

(December 16, 2010 – Marketwire) — The Centre Intégré de Microélectronique Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur (CIMPACA) selected DCG Systems products for its characterization and failure analysis platform: the ELITE lock-in thermography system and the Meridian WaferScan emission microscopy wafer prober with LVx option. The LVx technology provides continuous wave laser voltage probing (CW-LVP) and laser voltage imaging (LVI).

"These investments are a significant element of the CIMPACA three-year plan to offer access to key technologies for our members and customers," said Pascal Galand, characterization platform director of the CIMPACA. Added Dr. Israel Niv, president and CEO of DCG Systems, "CIMPACA continues to acquire the most advanced diagnostic and characterization systems in the market to meet the challenges of advanced semiconductor technologies down to 22nm."
