Nov 30 2006 Cascade Microtech Adds High-Current Model to Infinity Probe® Family
The rapid growth of wireless voice and data traffic has resulted in demand for more RF power devices in both handsets and wireless system infrastructure. The design of RF power devices and linear power amplifiers that use them requires measurements of gain, linearity, and efficiency under various load conditions to optimize circuit designs. During characterization, transistor performance is established by varying source and load impedance. Cascade Microtech’s new high-current Infinity probe allows designers to model transistors under load conditions at up to 2 amperes, while maintaining low contact resistance (typically < 0.05 ohm on aluminum pads).

Jul 25 2006 Cascade Microtech Reports Second Quarter 2006 Results
“We were extremely pleased with our record bookings in the second quarter of 2006. Book-to-bill was well above one in both divisions and we built solid backlog in both probe cards and systems. Our Production Probe division revenue, however, was limited by our production and test capabilities during the quarter. We are continuing to add employees and equipment to build a larger probe card business,” said Eric Strid, CEO of Cascade Microtech. [View more]
