FormFactor is excited to announce that we have opened a new 90,000 square foot manufacturing facility, expanding our Livermore, California campus. The new facility adds additional capacity to manufacture advanced wafer probe cards, essential equipment to test semiconductor chips and support the growing test demand of advanced packaging.

As Matt Losey, our Senior Vice President and GM of our Probes Business Unit states:

The opening of our new manufacturing facility is critical to answer the growing demand for our test technologies. As our customers expand their chip production, we are dedicated to enabling their test success. Today, we design and ship probe cards with more than 85 million MEMS probes annually to customer fabs around the globe. This new manufacturing center will give us space to grow with the industry in the years ahead.

The new building features a class 1000 clean room for the assembly and test of MEMS probe cards, as well as office and warehouse space. The new facility represents a significant part of the company’s plans to invest approximately $70-80 million in 2021 on manufacturing capacity expansion. Our other US probe card manufacturing facilities include Carlsbad, CA, Baldwin Park, CA, and Beaverton, OR.
