“With consumer applications driving much of today’s demand for Flash memory, it is all the more important that we are able to cost-effectively manufacture and test large volumes of high-yielding Flash devices, and quickly bring them to market,” stated Sung Wook Park, senior vice president, Research and Development Division at Hynix. “FormFactor has been a valued supplier in providing high-quality wafer probe cards and dedicated support to help enable testing of our leading-edge DRAM wafers. We look forward to leveraging their new Harmony OneTouch technology and working with them to achieve similar results for Flash memory.”
“Our Harmony OneTouch Flash solution is engineered from the ground up to address the unique challenges associated with one-touchdown Flash wafer probing. It is designed with a focus on high availability, ease of service and short lead times to facilitate the shortest time-to-market and lowest total cost of test for our customers,” stated FormFactor CEO, Igor Khandros. “We are pleased that Hynix has chosen to work with us in testing their newest generation of Flash memory products, and we believe that our Harmony OneTouch solution will help Hynix to achieve higher test uptime and productivity, as well as improved yields.”
