Automatic test equipment VIP Ultra

automatedsemiconductorfor the electronics industry

Overview
The VIP Ultra by Cosmic is a next-generation automatic test equipment (ATE) for high-throughput testing of power semiconductors (Si, SiC, GaN). Designed for cleanroom integration, it scales in parallel from 48 test sites at 80 V / 250 A to 16 sites at 4 kV / 250 A, enabling DC and energy-stress test suites with a compact footprint and optimized total cost of ownership.

Key benefits / Reasons Why

• Lowest total cost of ownership for power product test flows
• Ultra-high throughput through extensive parallel testing capabilities
• Minimal footprint for easy integration with probers and handlers

Product summary
VIP Ultra is a configurable ATE engineered for power-semiconductor testing including discrete devices, power modules and driver ICs. It integrates multi-channel DC sources and sinks, per-channel measurement units, high-count digital IO with per-pin measurement/source (PPMU), LCR meters, highly sensitive picoammeters, TMUs and programmable load circuits to support DC and energy-stress tests across device categories. Announced at APEC 2025 and recognized by industry media.
