Meeting the Rising Demands of a Rapidly Evolving Industry

Today’s devices must perform under tighter thermal envelopes, smaller footprints, and faster cycle times, all while staying aligned with the demands of next-gen applications, like automotive autonomy or edge AI. Test systems can no longer just confirm functionality. They must measure near the limits of timing, and keep up with shifts in materials like SiC, GaN, and MEMS.

Where Semiconductor Testing Gets More Complex

The semiconductor industry requires multi-domain test environments. Electrical and mechanical handling, optical inspection, protocol verification, all now interact within the same flow. Challenges arise from:

  • Maintaining sub-micron alignment in wafer handling while scaling throughput
  • Capturing transient electrical or optical behavior under environmental stress
  • Generating test coverage for MEMS, ASICs, or multi-chip modules with stimulus simulation
  • Meeting SEMI S2/S8/S22 requirements while optimizing cleanroom compatibility

These challenges require tailored systems, domain-specific expertise. That’s only by partnering with an engineering partner who speaks the language of modern fabs you can achieve this.

High-Precision Vision System for PCB Offset Measurement

Cover - Averna Solves the Offset Problem in PCB Printing
To improve accuracy in double-sided PCB printing, Averna developed a vision-based measurement system designed to detect and correct front-to-back offset early in the production process. The solution combines high-precision optics with real-time data analysis to reduce waste and stabilize print quality.
  • Dual-camera architecture (fixed + movable) enabling precise measurement of PCB alignment on both sides
  • High-resolution optical setup with calibrated lenses ensuring consistent and repeatable metrology independent of board thickness
  • Integrated LabVIEW environment providing traceability, defect analysis and early error detection
This approach shifts defect detection earlier in the process, improving yield while reducing scrap and production inefficiencies.
Up to 3 µm Accuracy (X/Y)
100% Measurement Accuracy
