Mobile 2D and 3D Sensors

Sensors used in mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, wearables such as watches and fitness bands, and audio devices have become pervasive. Initially, sensors on smartphones allowed basic functions we have all come to expect such as touchscreens, rotational sensors, and fingerprint sensors, but have gotten more complex with added capabilities such as 3D facial recognition and time of flight distance measurements. We will see the addition of health monitoring sensors, 3D measurement capability, and other advanced sensors in the future. As sensors become more pervasive and add critical new functionality to devices, it becomes increasingly important that the data collected be accurate and reliable, which we believe will drive requirements for our solutions for production test and burn-in of these sensors.

Automotive Semiconductors

In addition, the rapid growth and increasing demand for reliability in automotive sensor technologies is a key market driver for the Company. These technologies include Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (“ADAS”) capabilities such as collision avoidance systems using laser, Light Detection and Ranging (“LIDAR”), and Radio Detection and Ranging (“RADAR”) or other sensing technologies. More and more new vehicles now include as standard capabilities collision avoidance systems that detect obstacles and monitor the vehicle’s surroundings to notify the driver of dangerous conditions and take evasive action. In addition to autonomous vehicles that require extremely high reliability of the devices in these systems, more and more vehicles around the world are embedding these systems and sensors into their everyday driving features. The Company sees the rising tide of the increasing number of embedded sensors and electrical and optical systems in vehicles as a key driver of the increasing market need for reliable semiconductors. This, in turn, is increasing the need for 100% production test and burn-in of devices to lower the infant mortality rate of devices and ensure that these devices and systems operate over the life of the vehicles.

 PRODUCTS

The Company manufactures and markets full wafer contact test systems, test during burn-in systems, test fixtures and related accessories.

All of the Company’s systems are platform-based systems with a portfolio of current, voltage, digital and thermal capabilities, allowing them to be configured with optional features to meet customer requirements. Systems can be configured for use in production applications, where capacity, throughput and price are most important, or for reliability engineering and quality assurance applications, where performance and flexibility, such as extended temperature ranges, are essential.

The Company’s product portfolio is platform-based systems with a modular configurable approach to enable a
