Benefits of Liquid Cooling in Semiconductor Testing

During semiconductor testing, chips are pushed to their limits to identify weaknesses, validate performance, and ensure long-term reliability. Effective cooling is vital not only for protecting the semiconductors and devices under evaluation but also for ensuring the accuracy of the testing data.  Mikros Technologies' liquid cooling solutions deliver exceptionally low thermal resistance and rapid transient response, creating optimal conditions for precise high-power validation.

Ultra-Fast Response

For manufacturers seeking to increase throughput and process higher volumes of chips, speed and precision are crucial. Mikros Technologies’ advanced liquid cooling systems deliver ultra-fast response times — measured in single-digit milliseconds — enabling precise control during power spikes and rapid test cycles. This high responsiveness ensures semiconductor devices are tested under accurate operating conditions, eliminating overshoots that can lead to testing faults and delays. Manufacturers will significantly shorten production cycles, efficiently transforming raw wafers into packaged products with exceptional speed and reliability.

Exceptional Temperature Regulation

Mikros Technologies provides precision temperature regulation solutions for semiconductor manufacturing and testing, ensuring thermal reliability and minimizing heat-induced defects. Our systems simulate real-world thermal environments with high accuracy, enabling rigorous testing of devices within their specified operational temperature ranges. This process effectively identifies latent manufacturing flaws, helping prevent in-field failures and improving overall device yield and reliability.

High-Power Test Compatibility

Mikros Technologies’ thermal management solutions support efficient cooling of multi-kilowatt semiconductor devices, enabling reliable high-power testing of advanced nodes and power-dense architectures. By eliminating thermal constraints, engineers can conduct full-load stress tests and accelerated burn-in procedures with confidence, thereby reducing validation cycles and enhancing test coverage for next-generation integrated circuits (ICs).

Multi-Zone Control

Mikros Technologies’ liquid cooling solutions are designed to support both lidded and unlidded devices, as well as complex multi-die packages, delivering precise junction temperature control throughout testing. This advanced thermal management capability ensures accurate electrical characterization and validation across diverse chip architectures, without compromising test integrity or throughput.

Retrofit Solutions

Mikros Technologies specializes in customizing liquid cooling solutions for automated test equipment (ATE) platforms. By retrofitting custom thermal heads onto existing ATE designs, engineers can support higher-power semiconductor devices without purchasing new capital equipment. This approach not only prolongs the operational life of current platforms but also ensures that thermal performance meets the evolving demands of modern devices.
