T.I.P.S. Messtechnik GmbH (T.I.P.S.), a leading supplier of specialized high voltage, high current probe cards, is now part of our MeasureOne partnership program to provide test and measurement solutions for high power devices. MeasureOne is a commitment between FormFactor and a select group of partners to deliver performance-validated, integrated solutions to address customers’ test and measurement applications.

Power semiconductors are commonly used in electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EV/HEV). To address market needs, power semiconductor manufacturers are quickly adopting materials such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) that can operate at higher voltages, temperatures and frequencies while delivering improved efficiency and reliability. The semiconductor power device market for EV/HEV is projected to grow at a CAGR of 21% from 2018-2024, to exceed $3.7B, according to Milan Rosina, PhD. Principal Analyst, Power & Wireless and Batteries at Yole Développement (Yole). 

FormFactor systems with T.I.P.S. probe cards are installed at leading customer facilities worldwide.
