PDF Solutions Secures Landmark Contract with Global IDM Customer
Large 2025 Contract Validates High-Volume Manufacturing Strategy

PDF Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: PDFS) today announced a landmark contract signing: a significant multi-year agreement to expand a prior contract and deploy eProbe® tools, Characterization Vehicle® infrastructure, and associated Exensio® analytics software across multiple high-volume manufacturing facilities of a major global semiconductor manufacturer.

Breakthrough Technology Scales to Mass Production

PDF Solutions' eProbe technology delivers contactless testing of 3D semiconductor structures using electron beam, optimized for each wafer's specific design characteristics. This agreement encompasses multiple eProbe systems with deployment in 2025, supported by PDF Solutions' comprehensive software suite for machine optimization and results analysis.

The contract marks a pivotal milestone that validates PDF Solutions' strategic vision and demonstrates the critical role of eProbe technology in both advanced node development and high-volume manufacturing.

Integration of Process characterization, Design and in-line Fabrication data

PDF Solutions combines the eProbe DirectScan™ application with Characterization Vehicle test chips and Exensio analytics software to enable faster yield learning in high-volume manufacturing environments.

This landmark contract validates the approach of integrating process characterization data with design layout data and in-line fabrication data to enhance detectability to ppb levels to accelerate root cause for yield diagnosis and variability control.

Secure Connected Solutions Drive Value

PDF Solutions will deploy eProbe tools and associated software at the Foundry’s manufacturing sites, using PDF Solutions’ secureWISE® network to provide secure remote equipment support and maintenance. This deployment exemplifies PDF Solutions' strategic vision: creating a cross-industry analytics and collaboration platform that connects key players in the semiconductor ecosystem.

Comprehensive connectivity is essential for achieving faster yield ramps and delivering on the promise of AI in semiconductors.

Opening Remarks

Current efforts to pursue low Global Warming Potential (GWP) gas substitutions in etch and chamber clean applications remain fragmented, resulting in high material costs for HVM application. While promising gas substitutions exist, the traditional paths of small scale or single customer adoption are typically too expensive due to cost scaling limitations. So how do we enable low GWP gas substitutions that also meet cost (as well as performance) expectations? By coordinating a fab-led, industry wide approach to
1) Prioritize a single, low GWP target gas for replacement
2) Co-create and execute a phased experimental plan
