STAr Technologies, Inc. ("STAr" for short), a well-known semiconductor test solutions supplier, and Korea Conformity Laboratories ("KCL" for short), a leading testing and certification organization, today announced signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for a strategic cooperation on reliability test solutions to address the growing needs for discrete semiconductor devices characteristics and qualification test.
Discrete semiconductors also in words such as "power devices" or "power semiconductors", are designed to reduce power loss in high-voltage and high-current application. To cope with the requirements of "miniaturization" and "energy-saving", demands for high performance devices increases. In high-volume production, a more efficient, cost-effective qualification test with reliable result and accelerate time to market become a key issue to manufactures.
STAr is experienced at semiconductor device characteristic test for decades and continuously develops advanced reliability test technology and provides efficient solutions to semiconductor manufacturer. KCL, as the test, inspection, and certification organization, provides professional consulting and services to industry companies. The collaboration between STAr and KCL will lead the achievement in research and development and enterprises expansion Korea market.
Min-Jung Cho, Director of Korea Conformity Laboratories said, "KCL is renowned for professional qualification test services. With the rapid growth of new application markets and the associated needs involved more ranges, the development of semiconductor devices must continue to advance and innovate. The MoU is a marketing strategy and will enhance our technology in device characteristics test. We do look forward to collaborating with STAr and provides more complete services to customers."
Byong-Sun Choi, General Manager of STAr Technologies Korea adds, "It is glad to announce the agreement with KCL today. We now have a good partner to accomplish competitive semiconductor reliability test solution for high-performance devices qualification. We are also confident of the collaboration will result in optimized architecture, more competitive products and services. Looking forward to writing a new chapter in devices qualification with KCL in the future."
