Semiconductor Chip Handler Market Industry Trends Fueling Future Revenue Growth
Companies prominent in the semiconductor chip handler market are concentrating on technological advancements, such as advanced handlers that include high-voltage partial discharge (HVPD) testing. This focus aims to guarantee high-voltage reliability and improve the efficiency of power semiconductor testing for next-generation SiC and GaN devices. High-voltage partial discharge (HVPD) testing serves as a diagnostic technique used to detect and measure small electrical discharges within a semiconductor or insulating material, thereby helping identify defects, ensure high-voltage reliability, and prevent insulation failure in power electronics. For instance, in July 2024, Boston Semi Equipment, a US-based semiconductor equipment company, unveiled a new test site module for its Zeus gravity feed test handler, which allows for high-voltage and partial discharge (HVPD) testing up to 24kV peak for power semiconductor manufacturing. This upgrade supports the increasing demand for SiC- and GaN-based devices, enhancing isolation testing efficiency and compatibility with existing Zeus handlers.
