Now, customers can work remotely with the Carsem factory staff in performing test program development efforts and product engineering support on a wide variety of tester platforms, including Credence, Eagle, LTX, and Teradyne systems. It also gives the ability to achieve a collaborative effort to resolve device-specific test issues on a real-time basis, significantly improving time-to-market and reducing cycle times. In addition, Carsem recently established a dedicated test development lab at their S-site, which currently has a Credence ASL-1000 tester, but will grow over time to include many ATE systems based on customer demand.
