“Semiconductor customers drove strong demand for Cohu RF testers for next generation smartphones with 5G connectivity, along with consumer and industrial IoT applications. We captured multiple design-wins in the quarter, including a wafer-level chip-scale MEMS solution, new business for vision inspection, a strip handler for a leading analog IC manufacturer, and were selected for high-end memory test in engineering by a U.S.-headquartered customer. Second quarter orders for PCB test were at record highs driven by expansion in telecommunications, computing and network infrastructure,” said Cohu President and CEO Luis Müller. “While the automotive segment is slowly recovering, our third quarter guidance reflects expected strong RF and PCB tester shipments, and new customer traction for handlers and inspection equipment.”
