This past year Cascade Microtech introduced the APS200TESLA for production testing of advanced power integrated circuits (IC), to address an emerging $20 billion IC market. The APS200TESLA can handle 3", 4", 6" and 8" wafers, and is capable of withstanding up to 10kV and 400A, with built-in safety and anti-arcing technology. The APS200TESLA is aimed at emergent "green" technologies such as electric vehicles. The company also introduced the MPS150 manual probe station configurable for focused applications in the lab such as RF and mmW, failure analysis, and power device characterization. The MPS150 offering expands and protects the installed base of nearly 8,000 probe stations already claimed by the Company. Cascade Microtech continues to increase their served available market with differentiated technology, filing more than 25 patent applications in 2012.
