Overview
Advantest was founded in 1954 as Takeda Riken Industry and is headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo. Its testers check chips electrically after wafer processing and after packaging, before they are shipped.
The product line spans SoC testers such as the V93000 and T2000, memory testers in the T5000 series, and test handlers.
Business: Automated test equipment (ATE) for SoC and memory
Why it matters
Large AI and HPC chips have more transistors and more complex packages, which lengthens test time per device and raises demand for high-end testers.
Test is one of the back-end areas where a Japanese company leads globally, alongside dicing and grinding.
