FormFactor ( FORM ) shares rose 5% in extended trading on Monday after it announced a collaboration with Teradyne ( TER ) to accelerate semiconductor testing. As part of the deal, the two companies will work to boost innovation across the semiconductor test ecosystem from wafer to data center, and more. In addition, Teradyne is making a strategic $300M equity investment in FormFactor. "The semiconductor industry is entering a period where test performance, scalability, and time-to-market are becoming decisive competitive advantages," said FormFactor CEO Mike Slessor. "By combining FormFactor's deep expertise in device characterization, probing, interfaces, and production test solutions with Teradyne's test platforms, we can help customers accelerate innovation and move more efficiently from technology development to high-volume manufacturing." “The most demanding test challenges in advanced packaging, silicon photonics, and memory can’t be solved by a single company,” Teradyne CEO Gregory Smith added. “By investing in FormFactor and combining our leading-edge test platforms with FormFactor’s probe and interface expertise, we’re building a more complete, validated path to production for our shared customers, and reinforcing our commitment to an open, interoperable ecosystem.”
