Sept. 11, 2006 — Cascade Microtech, a maker of tools and systems for precise electrical measurements on small structures, announced a partnership agreement with Philips’ MiPlaza research center and Agilent Technologies to create a new world class Electronic Measurement Laboratory on the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. The laboratory will enable development of complex nanoscale high-speed integrated circuits (ICs) at the heart of next generation wireless systems.
The laboratory will be equipped with high-performance, high-frequency measurement instrumentation, including Cascade Microtech’s RF probes and wafer probe station and Agilent Technology’s network analyzer for handling 300mm wafers with frequencies up to 67 GHz.
The lab will enable research groups to perform precise electrical measurements on ICs directly on-wafer and will be fully supported by applications personnel and measurement specialists.
