Recent commercial aircraft and mass transit tragedies have compelled us to examine all available methods of improving the reliability of critical electronic systems employed in these systems.

The reported problems have included apparent electrical faults in aircraft, sensor problems, and CPU problems.

Meet Up with Ridgetop at Semicon West
Semicon West Banner

Ridgetop’s Semiconductor and IC divisions provide advanced,
in-situ test structures that support design-for-manufacturing (DFM) applications.

With shrinking semiconductor process geometries of 65 nm or less, it is not possible to directly probe the devices to determine their variations from nominal. Ridgetop pioneered the development of precision die-level test structures that address variations in threshold voltage, current, resistance and capacitance.

In addition, Ridgetop offers proven capabilities for measurement of Time Dependent Dielectric Breakdown (TDDB), Hot Carrier Injection (HCI), and Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI).

Ridgetop has supplied the analog/mixed signal requirements of commercial customers for many years. In addition, for our military/aerospace customers, Ridgetop provides fault-tolerant ICs. These include radiation-hardened components for operation in space or near particle accelerators.

Call us to set up an appointment while at SEMICON West . . . you will be glad that you did!
