- Key Products/Technologies
- **Reliability Testing Services**: Provision of diverse testing services for evaluating the quality and reliability of semiconductor and electronic components. The Q-ROLA RF High-Temperature Operating Life (HTOL) measurement equipment accurately and quickly predicts the lifespan of 5G/6G communication semiconductors. This equipment simulates actual communication environments by simultaneously applying high temperature up to 250°C and RF signal stress, offering up to 8 channels for individual device testing and proprietary life analysis software. The Single Event Effect (SEE) analysis equipment evaluates temporary malfunctions (soft errors) in semiconductors exposed to radiation particles like heavy ions, protons, and neutrons. The SEE analysis equipment supports the reproduction of field failures and unknown failures caused by radiation, and features a modular design for evaluating various ICs (DRAM, SRAM, NAND, SoC) and SSDs (NVMe, M.2, U.2). The QRT-LITE laser-based SEE evaluation solution utilizes pulsed lasers to simulate space radiation effects, serving as a cost-effective alternative to high-cost heavy ion accelerators. Automotive semiconductor reliability testing adheres to international standards such as AEC-Q series (AEC-Q100, AEC-Q104, etc.) and OEM in-house specifications, covering ESD/EOS & Latch-up, HALT, and physical reliability tests. The SSD RDT evaluation system has been expanded to support PCIe Gen4/5.**Reliability Testing Services**: Provision of diverse testing services for evaluating the quality and reliability of semiconductor and electronic components.
