Microsanj Increases European Presence and Enters Into Other Important Development Partnerships

FREMONT, CA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Microsanj LLC has established a European headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, to enable more direct support to our growing number of customers in the region. We have also established distribution agreements with ATV www.atv-systems.de and Hi-Tech RF and Microwave Solutions, www.hitechbv.nl for serving Germany and Benelux countries, respectively.

We are also pleased to announce a development partnership with eV-Technologies www.ev-technologies.com a High-Technology company headquartered in Caen-France. Recognizing the synergies between eV Technologies' best-in-class spintronic sensors and Microsanj’s leading position in advanced thermal imaging technology enables an approach for holistic over-the-air analysis of RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave components and front-end modules. Traditional design approaches individually optimize chip, package, printed circuit board, and antenna, leading to an overall end-to-end result that falls far short of an optimal solution for the completed module. With the synergies realized with this partnership, a holistic Chip-Package-PCB-Antenna vision is supported to enable ultra-fast thermal imaging based on industrial testing and failure analysis at the module level.

Microsanj has also signed a development agreement with MPI Corporation’s Advanced Semiconductor Test (AST) Division www.mpi-corporation.com/ast/ a global leader in semiconductor testing and advanced probe stations. This relationship has led to the MPI development of the iMAG SANJ digital optical head configured with a high-performance CMOS sensor to be driven and managed by the Microsanj EZ-THERM EZ510-MPI Controller. This Microsanj/MPI Corporation partnership provides a unique thermal analysis system for wafer-level testing with temporal, spatial, and thermal resolution benefits supported by the thermoreflectance technique combined with infrared imaging.

“The establishment of our European headquarters and Distribution relationships with ATV and Hi-Tech puts us in a stronger position to address the emerging high technology development going on in the European region and provides a local presence for the support of our growing number of current customers,” said Dr Mo Shakouri, Co-Founder and CEO of Microsanj LLC. “We are also pleased with the synergistic relationship we have with eV Technologies to enable our ability to offer holistic analytical tools to the microwave and millimeter wave community for over-the-air testing and our partnership with MPI Corporation to broaden our thermal testing technology to wafer level.”

“The combination of Spin-Cross-Over technology developed at eV Technologies with the Microsanj technology enables uniquely disruptive instrumentation for the testing and characterization of RF, millimeter-wave, and optical circuits and systems,” said Dr. Sidina Wane, Founder and CEO of eV Technologies.

"MPI Corporation's Advanced Semiconductor Test (AST) Division is thrilled to collaborate with Microsanj on this cutting-edge development. The iMAG SANJ digital optical head is a game-changer, offering unprecedented thermal analysis capabilities for wafer-level testing. This partnership fortifies our commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality testing solutions and further positions MPI as a leader in the semiconductor industry", said Stojan Kanev, MPI's General Manager.

“The partnership with Microsanj LCC reinforces our strategy to serve our customers with best-in-class solutions for device characterization and semiconductor testing. It’s a great addition to our current portfolio and it will allow us to assist our customer base even better with the unique capabilities of the Microsanj systems” said Olaf Biezem, Hi-Tech RF & Microwave Solutions, CEO.

To get more information and see this groundbreaking technology in action, visit us at European Microwave Week in Berlin, 17-22 September. We will be at BOOTH 104A with MPI-Corporation and ATV Systems and at BOOTH 555C WITH eV-Technologies. See www.eumweek.com for more information about European Microwave Week.
