From potential energy to value added by test (Guest commentary)
Dr. Fang Xu, Teradyne -- Test & Measurement World, 9/19/2007 11:23:00 AM
Recently, there have been many discussions in the press about how people have changed their perceptions of being an engineer. More and more young people are reluctant to consider engineering as their lifetime profession, and it seems unlikely that many among those who are currently studying engineering are willing to become future test engineers. Moreover, how many of our talented test-engineering colleagues have quit the test profession?
It is unfortunate that interest in engineering in general and test engineering in particular is diminishing, because test itself has become increasingly challenging and important. In the semiconductor industry, for instance, we predict that the cost of testing an equivalent transistor will eventually be higher than its manufacturing cost.
It is my contention that test is at least as important and valuable as any other stage in production. I employ the concept of generalized potential to demonstrate that using test to screen scrap from a production line to make the final product is not fundamentally different from extracting silicon from its dioxide in order to make wafers. They all elevate the potential and add value to the product in the same way.
We have learned in our physics class that if we elevate an object of a mass m from level 0 to a height h using a force of mg, we need to engage a certain amount of work:
where g is the standard gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s2 at the earth's surface).
If that object falls to level 0, it can produce work of equivalent energy value. So we say that when this object of a mass m is at height h from level 0, its potential energy is:
Then we learned that the weight of that object is due to universal attraction between the object and the earth. Surprisingly, the reference to define the zero of mutual potential energy of that object and the earth is when their distance is infinite. Therefore, the potential energy of that object at a distance r from the center of gravity of earth is:
where M is the mass of the earth; G is the gravitational constant, 6.6742 x 10-11m3s-2kg-1.
Indeed, this means any object on earth, including us humans, has a negative potential energy according to the definition in physics!
The more lessons learned, the more this statement rings true: almost every formula to calculate potential energy in physics starts with a negative sign; electrons around the nuclei; atoms in a crystal; planets around the sun; solar systems in the universe! As electronic engineers, we are all familiar with the electrostatic potential energy:

Next Generation RFIC & RFSOC Test Challenges
This three-part article series written by Ken Harvey from Teradyne focuses on the test cost impact of next generation consumer wireless semiconductors. Ken is responsible for the RF product line architecture at Teradyne. His twenty years of RF/microwave experience includes product development and business management roles for R&D, manufacturing, and field maintenance applications of commercial and military instrumentation through millimeterwave frequencies. He graduated from the University of Akron with a B.S.E.E. and Santa Clara University with an M.B.A. Ken holds two patents in the microwave instrumentation and precision sensor technology.
The first article looks at the structural differences between device generations to suggest the likely impact by using existing RF ATE. The second article examines key performance aspects of future device generations to assess where instrumentation improvements are most likely to occur. The third article synthesizes the combined needs and proposes a cost structure and sys-tem-level requirements based on established multisite economic principles.

EE October 2007 Feature Article
Next-Generation RFDevices Impact Test
by Ken Harvey, Teradyne
The past decade’s build-up of RF ATE for second-generation (2G) cellular transceivers now is testing more than two billion RF devices annually (Figure 1). Next-generation consumer wireless devices are much more complex due to additional RF pin-count, new standards support, and increased digital pin-counts for RF system on a chip (RFSOC) and RF system in a package (RFSIP) designs.
The test requirements also are changing to include added modulation tests and DSP requirements, concurrent test capability, and more multisite testing. Both sets of trends impact costs.
New standards for wireless communications are expanding mobile handset capability at a seemingly relentless pace. Just as relentless is the pace of competitive cost pressure.
The next generation of wireless semiconductors appears to threaten cost-reduction objectives. New RF standards tend to require either new transmission frequencies or new noninterference capabilities with respect to existing RF signals. But, new RF products maintain compatibility with previous standards: Backward compatibility with the installed network enhances the value of both the wireless network and

Now that we are adults, we may not remember exactly how we learned to count but itprobably involved associating numbers with real objects. If we have children and areteaching them to count, we ask them questions like “How many people are there in thispicture?” During school days, children learn about decimals, fractions, and eventually
complex numbers before going to college. When the concept of complex numbers was first intro-duced, it served the purpose of accommodating the square root of negative numbers. Rarely has any-one realized the full usefulness of complex numbers; it goes far beyond the initial application.
In instrumentation and measurement, when we measure a voltage, a current, a power, or whenwe measure acceleration, force, pressure, or temperature, traditionally we dealt only with real num-bers. We used complex numbers only once in a while; for instance, to calculate the impedance of anRC circuit. Despite the fact that complex numbers were obtained in more sophisticated measure-ments when Fourier’s analysis was performed, phase information was usually considered as a sideproduct and ignored in most applications.

POOL2 On-Site Calibration Annual calibration of the FLEX POOL2 instrument is critical to insure the instrument’s performance against its published specifications. In addition to Teradyne’s current repair and calibration services (ECAL and SCAL), you now have the ability to calibrate a POOL2 instrument at your site without returning boards to Teradyne for their annual calibration.
On-Site External Calibration ProcessThe on-site calibration process is a condensed calibration process (calibration time is approximately 10 minutes per board) and not the full repair, calibration and verification process that boards undergo when sent back to Teradyne utilizing ECAL or SCAL services. The condensed on-site calibration process does not perform an external calibration of the picoAmmeter which significantly reduces the calibration time and complexity of the calibration process. Therefore, there is an additional specification for the Ammeter performance when utilizing the on-site calibration process versus the full calibration process performed with ECAL / SCAL services. On-site calibration is optimal for customers with a large install base of POOL2 instruments that will benefit from the operational efficiency of quick calibration time versus sending boards back to Teradyne for their annual calibration and can accept the performance of the Ammeter without external calibration. For detailed instrument specifications, refer to the POOL2 ESSD in the IG-XL Solutions documentation V5.10.40 or later. Please work with your local sales or TAG representative to determine if the on-site calibration process can be implemented at your site.
On-Site Calibration Equipment RequirementsOn-site calibration is an external calibration process and requires the purchase and use of certain equipment to complete the calibration:
• HP3458A meter (not supplied by Teradyne)• 810-358-00 POOL2 External Calibration DIB• 810-358-10 POOL2 Calibration Module (Optional)
The HP3458A meter is used by the on-site calibration process for the calibration of the POOL2 UPVS. The on-site calibration process also requires the purchase of an external DIB kit, Teradyne part number 810-358-00. Each DIB kit contains one calibration module which enables the calibration of one instrument at a time and also some miscellaneous cables needed to perform the calibration. If there are more than one POOL2 instruments per tester, it is recommended that you order additional DIB calibration modules for each additional POOL2 instrument in the tester. The calibration process is a serial process and having more than one

FIVE-YEAR RECONDITIONING
Mechanical parts that experience wear and electrical parts that experience drift over time need to be
maintained or replaced at given intervals. The interval between maintenance cycles is important to
ensure no failures occur before the part is serviced or replaced. To ensure ATE functionality through
accountability, tools and test equipment are important in a maintenance program plan. Having tools
properly calibrated and periodically inspected is critical to ensuring maintenance is performed
properly. Personnel assigned to a maintenance task should be required to sign-off once the task
is completed.
COMPLETE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE INCLUDING CALIBRATION VERIFICATION
Teradyne GFS personnel utilize a preventive maintenance checklist to ensure that all required
procedures are completed. This checklist can be the standard checklist for a particular test system, or
the checklist can be optimized for a customer’s specific requirements. This checklist confirms that all
procedures were performed by Teradyne.
CHECK FOR A/C NOISE AND RIPPLE ON DC POWER SUPPLIES
Undetected power supply noise and ripple will cause unreliable tester performance. The correct
measurement procedure utilizes an oscilloscope and two probes to measure power supply noise.
This eliminates radiated noise from tester instruments and other local power supplies to prevent
unnecessary power supply replacement, while providing the most accurate measurements for a
customer’s accountability documentation.
REPLACEMENT OF HFE FILTERSCorrect HFE flow rate is critical to maintain the specified operating temperatures of Teradyne liquid
cooled instruments. All liquid cooled systems utilize a particulate filter to prevent contamination of the
cooling loop mechanical components and to ensure the correct flow rate of the HFE. Use of the correct
HFE particulate filter and the proper replacement procedure is the best way to ensure that there are no
HFE leaks or cooling reliability issues.
BACK FLUSH OF THE COOLING SYSTEMCorrosion and contaminants can build up on the inside of the heat exchangers and radiators causing
degraded heat transfer and possible temperature regulation problems. This can be prevented through
the proper back flushing of the cooling system.
VERIFICATION OF ALL BUS BAR AND CABLE CONNECTIONS
DC power supplies are connected to tester backplanes by cables and bus bars. The bus bars distribute
the DC power to the individual backplane slots. Over time the fasteners attaching the cables and
connections to DC power can loosen, which can cause localized resistive areas and unreliable test
results. Verification of torque specifications by Teradyne ensures proper DC levels.
EXTERIOR PANEL PAINT TOUCH-UP
Teradyne GFS personnel can provide the correct paint color to keep your tester looking
professionally maintained.

BenefitsYour
FOR TERADYNE NEXTEST DIVISION EMPLOYEES AND THEIR FAMILIESNovember 2008
Welcome to Teradyne’s Benefits Plan
Teradyne is proud to offer Nextest employees a comprehensive range of benefits for the
upcoming year. This year’s Open Enrollment is Nov 3-Nov 21. It’s the only time of the year you
can enroll in Teradyne benefits.
Your Health Benefits book contains 2009 rates for the health, dental, vision and disability plans.
As you know, these costs continue to rise dramatically. Teradyne is no exception. Our rates are
based on our use of the plans over the course of the year. We continue to try to keep health care
costs as low as possible for employees, and continue to contribute $18 million per year toward
employee health care, vision and dental costs. Review the Your Health Benefits booklet included
in this mailing before making your health plan choice.
Meetings will be held onsite with employees to discuss Teradyne’s benefits in more detail and to
answer questions.
Medical Benefits:
Teradyne offers a variety of medical plans to help meet the health care needs of you and your
family. All of our plans offer comprehensive care for you, your spouse or domestic partner and
children. While all Teradyne medical plans offer comparable coverage and quality of care, the
plans differ in how care is delivered, how much you contribute toward the cost of coverage, how
much you pay when you receive care, and how claims are filed.
Teradyne’s medical plan offerings provide coverage for a wide range of medical services,
including preventive care, doctor’s visits, hospitalization, surgery and emergency care. With the
Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) offerings, you must obtain health services from your
Primary Care Physician (PCP) and stay within the HMO network.
New to Nextest Division employees is the Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) plan. Similar
to an HMO, with this plan you do not need to choose a PCP and you do not need referrals to
see specialists, as long as they are a preferred provider in the network. Generally, your care is
covered at 100 percent after you pay a small co-payment. If you join an EPO and later move out
of its service area, you may change to another Teradyne medical plan that services the area in
which you live. You must make this change within 30 days of moving.
Financial Benefits:
Stock Purchase Plan:Teradyne offers a Stock Purchase Plan so you can purchase company stock at a 15 percent
discount, and share in the growth of the company. You may enroll in the Stock Purchase Plan
prior to each six month offering period.
You may authorize payroll deductions from two to 10 percent of your pay, including overtime,
incentives and profit sharing. Your election must be in whole percentages made on an
after-tax basis.
Teradyne’s Savings Plan:Teradyne’s Savings Plan provides you with a great way to save for retirement. Teradyne matches
$1 for every $1 you save each year, up to the first five percent of your pay. You may use pre-
tax or after-tax dollars to invest up to 20 percent of your pay. The Plan offers more than 25
investment choices and is administered through Fidelity investments. Look for more information
to come on enrolling in the plan.
Deadline to Make Changes for 2009:
November 21, 2008
Protection BenefitsOur voluntary Short Term Disability (STD) Plan provides you with replacement income if you are
hospitalized or out of work for a illness or injury. You’re automatically covered up to a certain
pay level, and can purchase supplemental STD protection. We also provide a company-paid Long
Term Disability (LTD) plan for longer absences. If you are a California employee, you may opt
out of the voluntary plan and remain in the state plan.
Teradyne pays for Basic Life Insurance coverage of one and a half times annual salary and you
can purchase additional coverage at low group rates. We also offer spouse, domestic partner
and dependent child life insurance, also at low group rates. In addition, Teradyne pays for Travel
Accident Insurance to cover you when you are traveling on business.

Q3’07
Teradyne Continues to Gain Praise from Customers
Continued on Page 12
The environment has become a hot topic and companies are being held accountable for the products that they produce.
Teradyne is becoming more environmentally conscious and through partnerships and new design initiatives, Teradyne is striving to be green.
“We want our employees to be proud,” said Debra Pulpi, Teradyne Corporate Environment, Health and Safety Engineer. “Helping the environment is good business. In the long-term environmental stability will allow for businesses’ economic stability.”
Over the last few years the global community has lobbied companies, like Teradyne, to move away from traditional lead-containing solder and other hazardous substances that are typically contained in electronics because of concern that these hazardous substances would end up in landfill and ultimately contaminate water supplies and land.
In addition to supporting recycling of bottles, batteries, paper, light bulbs, cardboard and water conservation, the Environmental Health and Safety Services group, has joined forces with the AeA (formerly the American Electronics Association), a nationwide non-profit trade association that represents all segments of the technology industry and its International Environmental Compliance program.
In April, Teradyne’s North Reading office hosted the association’s environmental compliance conference. The meeting brought regulators and representatives from other electronic companies together to talk about the latest waste, energy and environmental regulations and review
environmental regulations in China, the European Union, the United States.
As of July 1, 2006 all 27 European Union countries must abide by new rules set by the Restriction of Hazardous Substance (RoHS) directive. These rules have inspired similar legislation in China, Korea, Japan and the Pacific Rim countries. In these countries there is a general acceptance that lead-free soldering will become the norm in the next few years. Select states within the U.S. are also adopting RoHS legislation.
“Working with AeA, Teradyne hopes to benchmark with others in the industry to better understand
what we need to do in the ever changing terrain of the environment,” said Debra.
As part of the AeA, Teradyne has been able to keep up with legislative changes across the globe. Teradyne is currently a member of the AeA’s China RoHS and EU RoHS study group, participating in calls and meetings.

“Helping the environment is good business. In the long-term environmental stability will
allow for businesses’ economic stability.”
-- Debra Pulpi, Environmental Health and Safety
Does it seem that Teradyne is winning more customer awards lately?
The company is on an impressive streak, winning top customer support honors from industry-leading companies.
Brad Nelson, Teradyne vice president, worldwide sales and Ty Akin, Teradyne regional sales manager, share their views on why the company’s Semiconductor Test Division is winning these awards and their thoughts on customer satisfaction.
Why do you think Teradyne is winning so many supplier awards?
Brad Nelson: About three years ago, the division launched a Customer Delight Initiative to significantly improve the customers’ experience in doing business with Teradyne. We realized that we had
to become more responsive and flexible in every customer interaction so that our customers view Teradyne as the only Automatic Test Equipment supplier they prefer to do business with. I believe the results of this program are finally starting to pay off.
The field teams have done an exceptional job interacting with the customer; they resolve problems more creatively and responsively.
Ty Akin: We understand our customers’ business and what they value most from a test supplier. We work very hard developing trusting and lasting customer relationships by delivering on our commitments and being extremely responsive.
What do you think Teradyne is doing better than the competition?
Brad Nelson: I think we respond more quickly than the
competition to concerns such as system reliability, product delivery and engineering misalignment issues. Our relationships with our customers are very strong, and we differentiate ourselves as not only a technology driven company, but one that is equally focused on improving customer satisfaction.
Ty Akin: We’re focused on delivering the entire test solution to our customers, and we do a better job understanding our customers’ business models. It’s a total team effort. The Operations team offers our customers the flexibility and responsiveness that minimizes delays. Engineering not only focuses on delivering the best test capability but they also understand the importance of delivering improvements in quality and reliability.
In addition, the business units and marketing team work with the Test Assistance Group (TAG) and Sales to provide our customers excellent business
