Cohu Announces Orders for New MEMS Microphone Tester

Cohu, Inc. (NASDAQ: COHU), a global supplier of equipment and services optimizing semiconductor manufacturing yield and productivity, today announced that a leading U.S. fabless semiconductor manufacturer has selected Sense+ system with µ-sense for testing their next generation high-fidelity microphones.

The µ-sense microphone tester is Cohu’s latest product in our MEMS test solution portfolio, and when combined with the Sense+ automation platform, it delivers state-of-the-art testing of high-fidelity microphones with up to 96 devices under test in parallel. The µ-sense tester provides precision measurements up to 78 dB signal-to-noise-ratio enabled by its unique patented technology. The µ-sense tester eliminates the need for anechoic rooms or chambers on the production floor, delivering cost-effective, high-throughput manufacturing for next generation high-fidelity microphones.

According to industry analysts, the MEMS microphone sensor market is projected to grow 14.5% annually over the next seven years reaching an estimated revenue of $6.2 billion. Cohu’s MEMS test solutions enable customers to test the new generation of high-accuracy, combo-sensors used in automotive ADAS, consumer wearables, mobile products, industrial automation and IoT (Internet of Things).

“We are excited to continue to evolve and expand our product offerings for testing MEMS devices, and this milestone reinforces the company’s position as a leader in semiconductor MEMS sensor test,” commented Luis Müller, Cohu President and CEO. “The integration of the µ-sense tester with our Sense+ automation platform offers customers a step function improvement in accuracy, sensitivity and high-speed production for testing next generation microphones.”
