Electrical characterization

Our expertise, access to the state-of-the-art equipment and partnership with laboratories across Europe enable us to provide wide range of electrical characterization services for substrate producers, fabless and foundries. From material to device, including active and passive, Si and III-V, on-wafer and packaged, from DC to mm-wave frequencies, our characterization services are application specific and are tailored to customer’s request.
