About Aptasic
Aptasic SA is a test house based in Boudry, Switzerland, that tests electronic components and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). The company supports ASIC projects along the entire value chain: from consulting and design-for-testability advice through wafer procurement and wafer probing to semiconductor packaging, final test and delivery of the tested ASICs. Services also include test program development (analog/mixed signal, digital scan, memory BIST, RF), qualification testing (HTOL, HTS, TC, THB, AC, screening) as well as tape & reel and pick & place. The Boudry site offers 1400 m² of space, including 400 m² of ISO 8 cleanroom; an ISO 5 Clean Zone exists for CMOS imager testing. Aptasic was founded in 1979 as CSEE, has borne its current name since 2008 and is part of Eurofins Materials & Engineering Sciences. The company serves the semiconductor industry, the industrial/electronics sector and, since ISO certification in 2015, the medical technology sector, supplying customers worldwide.
