An Integrated Post-Silicon Validation and ATMP Hub
Silicon that passes simulation can still fail in the real world. Process variation, thermal stress and reliability issues only surface once the chip is fabricated.
HCLTech's Advanced Semiconductor Lab (ASL) brings end-to-end post-silicon validation, semiconductor testing and ATMP (Assembly, Test, Mark, Pack) into a single, integrated environment, so those issues are caught before high-volume production. Designed to support the complete silicon lifecycle, the lab enables a seamless transition from validation through characterization, qualification, failure analysis and system-level testing.
With advanced ISO 6 (Class 1K) and ISO 7 (Class 10K) cleanroom infrastructure, Our ASL delivers wafer and package-level testing, reliability qualification, electrical and RF characterization and advanced diagnostics — combining deep domain expertise with advanced test and analysis workflows to help semiconductor, automotive and industrial customers achieve faster time-to-market, reduced risk and improved yield.
