EDA Industries, an engineering company leader in the production of Burn-in and Test Equipment for the semiconductor industry, has recently participated in two important events of its sector held in Italy: the International Semiconductor Executive Summits (ISES) EU Power and the International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (ICSCRM 2023).

The first one, planned on 14 and 15 September in Stresa, aimed to bring together power semiconductor professionals from all over the world, offering opportunities to learn from and engage with industry leaders. The other one, organized in Sorrento from September 17 to 22 and focused on WBG semiconductor devices, had the will to share and discuss the most recent achievements and roadmap trends with important players in the industrial, academic and public fields.

The EDA Breakthrough Solution for SiC and GaN presented at ISES EU Power

During the first day of the ISES EU Power, Luca Lillacci, General Manager of EDA Industries, presented "The EDA Breakthrough Solution for SiC and GaN Front-End and Back-End", highlighting that the growth of WBG devices in the semiconductor market has pushed his company to new challenges. «EDA Industries – said Lillacci – has decided to use its experience in the WBG Back-End environment extending the same approach also to the Front-End. The result has been a unique solution for both environments, composed of the products SocrATE and ETNA and provided by advanced data analysis software tools and innovative automation processes».

A great satisfaction for the company, founded in 1993 in Italy and expanded in 1998 in Asia to address even more the requirements of the international semiconductor market. «Our objective is to become one of the leading companies in Burn-in and Testing of Single devices and Power modules based on SiC and GaN technologies – continued Lillacci – and so for us, it is important to join events that involve eminent personalities in the world of WBG technologies. ISES EU Power and ICSCRM 2023 in Sorrento have certainly represented two real occasions to exchange suggestions and ideas».

The market demand for high voltage WLBI systems, especially for SiC and GaN, is growing rapidly.

In this context, EDA Industries has decided to invest further in this sector, building on the success of the first supplies of EDA systems and motivated by the forthcoming evaluation of the WLBI system by other important top players in the market.

The Wafer Level Burn-In, in addition to the well consolidated Burn-in and Package Testing system, provides SiC and GaN manufacturers with seamlessly integrated solutions to meet stress testing needs at both the front-end and back-end levels. Data correlation is ensured by equivalent architectures and managed by an advanced data analysis SW.
