We are delighted that Hermes has chosen to license our xFD technology portfolio in response to demand from original equipment manufacturers and original design manufacturers, said Simon McElrea, president of Invensas. Having already licensed xFD at the OEM demand level and memory chip supply level in the first quarter of this year, our next step was to enable the manufacturing and supply chain integration base. Hermes’ location in Taiwan, its broad slate of customers, and its established network of Asian supply chain partners made it a perfect candidate.
xFD is well aligned with Hermes’ business model of providing high value-added products and services to the semiconductor industry, said William Wang, GM of Hermes Testing Solution. The technology enables much smaller and higher performance devices to be built for important growth markets, such as tablets, mobile devices, and next generation servers. These markets require not only breakthrough products, but innovative test and integration solutions, and that is Hermes strength.
