ACE Solution and Teradyne Collaborate to Pioneer New Horizons in Semiconductor Testing - Interview with Marketing Director Aik-Moh Ng

Hsinchu, Taiwan, 5^th, August 2024 -Since 2022, ACE Solution has strategically partnered with Teradyne to advance their ETS platform for semiconductor testing. We had the privilege of interviewing Teradyne's marketing director, Aik-Moh Ng, who has led the Teradyne ETS Asia-Pacific team since 2006.

The integration of ICs in power management has significantly increased over time. With the rise of electric vehicles, challenges in battery management systems have emerged, necessitating efficient systems to maximize battery usage. Additionally, the growth of AI will facilitate the development of many power management ICs, driving the demand for high-end advanced GPUs, CPUs, and TPUs. These devices require substantial power during startup, consequently increasing the demand for power modules.

ACE Solution fully supports Teradyne's ETS test solutions, with the ETS-800 focusing on power management ICs and the ETS-88 and ETS-364 used for testing DC-DC converters and power modules. The ETS-800 is the best choice for meeting the complex testing needs of battery management ICs, reducing load board complexity, and providing optimal test cost efficiency with its high throughput. ACE Solution's solutions significantly reduce test time in areas such as micro-modules, power modules, intelligent stations, and AI servers.

Aik-Moh Ng shared, "The four major trends in electric vehicle development are electrification, consumer electronics, autonomous driving, and connected cars, where testing SiC double pulses and power modules is crucial for the electric vehicle inverter market. The Taiwan market focuses on how to test power modules effectively. Achieving full autonomous driving will require many more semiconductors of all types, including more power management ICs, to integrate the information of the surrounding environment for real-time decision-making. ACE Solution's testing solutions, developed on Teradyne's platform, excel in stray inductance control. Based on ETS's software functionality - AWU benchmark, it enables fast switching operations and high-voltage transitions in double-pulse testing, offering greater reliability. Compared to traditional program-based implementations, the ETS-88TH performs excellently in dynamic testing, with relatively easy and effective parameter adjustments, earning high customer trust."

In collaboration with Teradyne, ACE Solution develops power management IC (MOSFET/IGBT) testing solutions. Successful implementation cases demonstrate the strong partnership between the two companies, standing out in market share. Aik-Moh Ng stated, "Teradyne is known for its excellent quality platforms, and ACE Solution's close relationship with customers, and superior pre-sales and after-sales technical support services are crucial for the rapid adoption and expansion of the ETS platform."

Regarding the development of the Asia-Pacific market, Aik-Moh Ng shared: "Convincing Asia-Pacific customers to prefer European and American brands is a highly challenging task. Therefore, we need to develop new testing solutions that match local requirements. Our collaboration with ACE Solution provides us with opportunities, and in the future, we aim to further expand our presence in Southeast Asia." ACE Solution excels in customer service, with strong business and engineering teams providing reliable support for Teradyne. Teradyne can rely on ACE Solution's sales network and collaborate with engineers to develop programs based on the ETS platform, creating new business opportunities.

Looking ahead to the next 5-10 years, Aik-Moh Ng foresees significant innovations and breakthroughs in semiconductor testing technology. The demand for battery management ICs will continue to grow, and with the popularity of AI, GPUs, and CPUs, the demand for power module testing will also increase dramatically. Additionally, the integration of RF and Wi-Fi will continue to improve. Aik-Moh Ng noted, "Teradyne’s focus on automation and AI for test data analysis to better predict future trends and conduct predictive maintenance, ensures equipment runs smoothly and benefits production and supply chain planning. We look forward to the collaboration between Teradyne and ACE Solution, which will lead to innovation in the semiconductor test field and provide customers with better products and services in the future."
