FormFactor topic

FormFactor is the leader in advanced wafer probe cards, which are used by semiconductor manufacturers to electrically test integrated circuits (ICs) while they are still on the wafer. The company’s wafer sort, burn-in and device performance testing products move IC testing upstream from post-packaging to the wafer level, enabling semiconductor manufacturers to bring nextgeneration devices to the marketplace faster while reducing their overall cost of test and improving their yields.

Founded in 1993, FormFactor established its headquarters, R&D and manufacturing operations in Livermore, Calif., in 1995. That same year, FormFactor introduced its first wafer probe card based on its MicroSpring technology. FormFactor completed its initial public offering of stock on June 11, 2003, and is traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol FORM. Today, FormFactor has approximately 1100 employees worldwide, with sales, service and design centers in North America, Europe, Japan, Korea and Taiwan.
