Wire Materials for Millimeter
Wave-Compatible Boards

To Customers Developing Wire Materials for Millimeter Wave-Compatible Boards

In 5th generation mobile communications systems (5G), the demand for circuit boards with low transmission loss that
support millimeter wavebands is increasing.
Various technologies are being developed to reduce transmission losses,
and reliability evaluations are required for these technologies.
ESPEC provides optimal temperature chambers for evaluations and measurement systems that
deliver energy savings and contribute to automation.

Test Systems

Electrical Conduction Reliability Evaluation Test System

Changes in the construction and materials of board wire materials are required to send large amounts of data at high speed in 5G. In electrical conduction reliability evaluations required by changing board wire materials, development and evaluation times can be reduced by making tests more efficient, such as through multi-channel simultaneous measurements, automation, and performing coordinated operation with the temperature chamber.

  • Electrical Conduction Reliability Evaluation Systems (Electro-Migration Evaluation Systems)
    • Performs evaluations by accelerating electrical conduction failures due to thermal warping with the application of a constant current under high temperature and measuring the change in resistance.
    • Saves labor by automatically displaying graphs using the analysis software.
    • Applies stress current to specimens by working in conjunction with the temperature chamber and measures resistance.
    • Saves labor in tests by simultaneously measuring a maximum of 240 channels.
