The global semiconductor industry is booming. Semiconductor manufacturers continue to increase investment in R&D and expand or optimize production lines to improve capacity and efficiency. Programmable power supplies are used in a wide range of semiconductor R&D and manufacturing applications, including powering semiconductor equipment, performance testing of electronic devices, and burn-in testing.

AMETEK Programmable Power provides a variety of high-quality, highly reliable programmable power supply products for semiconductor manufacturing and testing applications, including air-cooled SGX Series DC power supplies and water-cooled ASD FLX Series DC power supplies.

Power Supply for MOCVD Equipment

MOCVD equipment is essential for LED wafer production. A single MOCVD system requires multiple high-power power supplies to provide power to the system, while different system components require power supplies with different power ratings.

A well-known international MOCVD equipment manufacturer purchases hundreds of AMETEK SG Series and ASD FLX Series power supplies each year. Their low failure rates help ensure stable, long-term operation of the equipment.

Power Supply for Ion Implanters

Ion implanters are among the key pieces of equipment used in the front-end processes of integrated circuit manufacturing. Ion implanters require DC power supplies for electrical excitation, with demanding requirements for high power, stable and reliable operation, and low failure rates.

A well-known domestic ion implanter manufacturer has purchased AMETEK 15 kW and 20 kW SG Series power supplies for many consecutive years, with the total quantity exceeding one hundred units.

Power Supply for Solid-State Lighting / High-Brightness LEDs / Temperature and Humidity Chambers

Many semiconductor manufacturers use AMETEK programmable power supplies to provide power for critical semiconductor equipment, including solid-state lighting equipment, high-brightness LEDs, and temperature and humidity chambers. AMETEK programmable power supplies have earned a strong reputation in semiconductor equipment power applications.

Semiconductor Device Burn-In Testing

Semiconductor device burn-in testing requires DC programmable power supplies capable of providing stable and controllable voltage over extended periods. AMETEK SG, XG, and other programmable power supply series feature high performance, high reliability, flexibility, and ease of use, making them well suited for semiconductor device burn-in testing applications.

Semiconductor Device Functional Testing

For semiconductor device functional testing, programmable power supplies must provide very high dI/dt capability. The inductive effects caused by the connection cables between the power supply and the device under test must also be taken into consideration. AMETEK Programmable Power can work with customers to add appropriate circuitry between the selected power supply and the device under test, ensuring that the system meets the required dI/dt specifications.

Programmable power supplies are also required for applications such as switching-time testing, gate-voltage testing, efficiency testing, and reliability testing of power semiconductor devices. AMETEK programmable power supplies are stable and reliable, compact, and cost-effective, and are widely used in power semiconductor device testing applications.
