Revolutionizing Silicon Photonics Testing: A FormFactor and IHP Success Story

FormFactor and IHP Leibniz Institute for High Performance Microelectronics collaborated to develop the world's first silicon photonics prober for on-wafer measurements, revolutionizing testing for faster processing, lower energy use, and more complex photonic devices. The prober features six-dimensional alignment, automated calibration pipeline, optoVue + CalVue imaging innovation, and Pharos Probe Technology, enabling precise and repeatable measurements in a fraction of the time. This breakthrough is helping speed innovation across the SiPh landscape.
