As semiconductor designs grow more complex, driven by AI, hyperscaler and high-performance computing (HPC) platforms, and advanced packaging, the pressure on test has never been higher. Engineers need solutions they can trust to deliver precision, consistency, and speed at scale, even as margins for error continue to shrink.

That’s why FormFactor has been ranked the global #1 supplier in both Test Subsystems and Focused Suppliers of Chip Making Equipment in the TechInsights 2026 Customer Satisfaction Survey—a result that reinforces FormFactor’s role as the industry benchmark.

More than recognition, this outcome reflects the confidence our customers place in us to solve real-world test challenges and execute reliably where it matters most.

 

Raising the Bar in Semiconductor Test

Earning the top spot in two highly competitive categories isn’t just about strong performance, it’s about helping customers stay ahead as requirements keep shifting.

From high-bandwidth memory (HBM) to co-packaged optics (CPO), today’s devices demand tighter tolerances and more sophisticated validation strategies. Test has become a critical lever for both yield and time-to-market.

FormFactor supports these demands by enabling:

  • More precise wafer-level measurements at advanced nodes
  • Scalable test solutions for high-volume manufacturing
  • Consistent performance from R&D through production

 

13 Years of Consistent Customer Recognition

This year marks our 13th consecutive year of recognition in the Test Subsystems category, a milestone that speaks to long-term consistency, not short-term success.

Each year, TechInsights asks semiconductor manufacturers to evaluate suppliers across performance, service, and product quality. FormFactor continues to stand out in one of the most technically demanding areas of semiconductor test, including probe cards, test sockets, and device interface boards.

As TechInsights Vice Chair Dan Hutcheson noted, customers consistently recognize FormFactor for both strong partnerships and technology leadership.

Alongside the dual #1 rankings, FormFactor received several Global Semiconductor Supplier Awards, including:

  • Global #1 – Test Subsystems
  • Global #1 – Focused Suppliers of Chip Making Equipment
  • Top 10 Customer Service (Focused Suppliers category)
  • Awards in Test Subsystems and Assembly Test Equipment

These honors come directly from customer feedback, reflecting how our solutions perform in real production environments, not just in theory.

 

Supporting the Next Wave of Innovation

Semiconductor roadmaps aren’t slowing down, they’re accelerating.

Teams working on advanced nodes, chiplets, and heterogeneous integration are navigating new layers of complexity. At the same time, expectations around yield, reliability, and time-to-market continue to rise.

So the question becomes: how do you maintain confidence in your test strategy as everything else gets harder?

FormFactor helps address that by delivering:

  • Deeper insight into device behavior across the lifecycle
  • Advanced thermal and measurement control for accurate validation
  • Faster yield learning to reduce costly iterations

At the end of the day, recognition like this only matters if it translates into real value.

For our customers, it reinforces that they’re working with a partner who understands the stakes, and can deliver when it counts. As CEO Mike Slessor shared, customers depend on FormFactor for performance, precision, and reliability, and that’s exactly what we aim to deliver every time.

The next generation of semiconductor innovation, whether driven by AI infrastructure, advanced packaging, or emerging technologies, will place even greater demands on test.

We’re committed to staying ahead of those demands and continuing to work side by side with our customers to solve what comes next.
