The full name of ATE is Automatic Test Equipment, which is simply automatic test equipment. It is a production equipment with the largest installed quantity among all integrated circuit manufacturing equipment, and it is also essential in the whole semiconductor industry chain. At present, the domestic ATE industry is still in the primary stage, and the supporting supply chain and collaborative R&D resources of the industry need to be upgraded. In this context, it is only possible for enterprises with global R&D layout capabilities to achieve technological innovation breakthroughs in ATE testing. Yuexin Technology was established in 2017, focusing on R&D, production and sales of large-scale integrated circuit production test equipment (ATE). It has two general test system platforms, including system on a chip T800 series test equipment and TM8000 series memory chip test equipment. Jiwei. com understands that all equipment of Yuexin Technology, including core instruments, has 100% independent intellectual property rights, which can meet the market demand for high-end ATE equipment in terms of system architecture planning, system software tools and performance parameters. At the same time, Yuexin Technology can also provide customers with flexible and reliable customized application test technology mass production solutions. It is reported that the customers of Yuexin Technology have included integrated circuit manufacturing enterprises (Fab), Testing House, Assembly House, Fabless chip design companies, R&D institutions and screening and testing enterprises. Yuexin Technology revealed to Jiwei.com,Yuexin Technology mainly focuses on the high-end ATE equipment market monopolized by foreign equipment suppliers at present, focusing on the layout of SoC and Memory production test equipment markets. The initial technology research and development direction focuses on improving the production capacity and test efficiency of single equipment, and competes for specific market segments by providing special test technology solutions. According to reports, at present, in the global test equipment market, SOC chip test equipment accounts for about 50% of the overall ATE market; Memory chip test equipment accounts for about 35%. The two types of universal ATE test equipment platforms launched by Yuexin Technology also focus on these two markets. Among them, T800 series equipment is mainly used for SOC chip testing, which can meet the requirements of wafer-level and finished product production testing of large-scale integrated circuits. A single T800 test system can be configured with up to 1792 I/O channels, and the test rate is up to 800M bps. The analog board can switch multi-channel resources between two test modes: 24bit/2Msps high precision and 16bit/400Msps high speed, which is close to the international mainstream high-end test instrument board technology level. TM8000 test system can meet the wafer-level production test requirements of mass storage, and the test accuracy is 300ps. The equipment core instrument board integrates 320 channels of test resources, and the system can be configured with up to 14,000 channels (including 5120 channels of driver unit, 5120 channels of I/O unit and 4096 channels of LVDR(HC) unit).It can support the parallel production test capability of up to 1024 chips. Yuexin Technology said that at present, the cumulative installed capacity of the batch-produced SOC test equipment -T800 series exceeds 60 sets, and the order has been scheduled for more than three months, and it is expected to continue to grow in 2021. In addition, the memory test equipment -TM8000 has also completed the prototype development, and carried out synchronous verification on the customer site as planned. At the same time, it is also accelerating the reserve and pre-research of a new generation of instrument boards. It is worth noting that while actively researching and developing technology, Yuexin Technology’s financing is also progressing smoothly. In December, Yuexin Technology announced the completion of the Pre B/B round of strategic financing, raising 150 million yuan to invest in the new generation of ATE equipment platform, core instrument board research and development, and customer order production inventory stocking. It is reported that this round of financing will help Yuexin Technology to continue to invest in core technology research and development in the next two years, including the ASIC chip development project for ATE equipment under implementation, which will effectively improve the core competitiveness and strengthen the independent control of core components, while providing more flexible ATE equipment performance configuration and production testing capabilities. Since its establishment, in addition to completing several rounds of financing, Yuexin Technology has also won many honors such as ISO9001, high-tech enterprise certificate and T800 SEMI S2 certification. In 2021, Yuexin Technology will launch a series of newly developed instrument board products and the latest core technological innovations. In addition, Yuexin Technology will also, according to the development trend of the chip market,Plan to invest in the next generation of ATE system architecture research and ASIC chip technology research and development, and gradually have the innovative research and development ability of ATE system and realize the independent control of some core components. In the future, Yuexin Technology will strive to compete with Advantest and Teradyne in the global high-end test equipment market, and strive to provide high-value product technical services for users in the global integrated circuit industry, and strive to become one of the world’s outstanding ATE suppliers and an international integrated circuit test technology innovation enterprise.
