"EADS offers an innovative solution for our cutting-edge reliabilitytesting," commented a senior manager of Toshiba Corporation's System LSIQuality and Reliability Engineering Department. "Precise junctiontemperature control is the essential element for effective environmentalstress testing. Without precise temperature control, production test timeis wasted and reliability test results are meaningless. EADS' single-phasetechnology provides the most accurate closed-loop control for our mostadvanced device technologies."
