Accel-RF delivers reliability test systems to Asia

Accel-RF Corp of San Diego, CA, USA, which produces turn-key RF reliability and performance characterization test systems for compound semiconductors, says that in early January installation was completed of two semiconductor reliability test systems that were delivered in fourth-quarter 2010 to customers in Asia. Shipped to both government research and commercial entities, the systems will be instrumental in the development of compound semiconductor device performance characterization in Asia.

Following its entry into the European Union market last year, this represents the start of Accel-RF distributing products to customers in Asia, says president & founder Roland Shaw, adding that Accel-RF is now part of the evolution of reliable RF/microwave compound semiconductors worldwide.

Accel-RF has been selling RF reliability test systems in the USA since 2004. After expanding into Europe in 2009, penetration in Asia is a testament to market acceptance and compelling value, reckons the firm. “Global expansion for complex equipment like ours has to be done carefully and with individual attention,” says Shaw, “Even with this major expansion effort, we have maintained a very close relationship with all of our customers.”

Service and first-line hardware support for the systems will be performed by Amtechs Corp in Japan and SE Technologies in Taiwan. “As a manufacturer of advanced test instruments, Accel-RF’s technical staff will always be partnered with our customers,” Shaw says. “Our distributors in Asia for sales, service, and first-line support have a track record of extraordinary support with our market-space and their technical expertise is exceptional,” he adds.
