Sox Signing Solutions, Centipede Systems Introduces New Optical Socket Sox Signing Solutions, Centipede Systems Introduces New Optical Socket
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 24, 2008 -- Centipede Systems has developed a new optical socket suitable for testing the current and next-generation wave of chips used in wafer-level camera modules.
The initial optical socket entry, part of Centipede's Centurion? product line, is offered in a clamshell configuration for an individual integrated circuit. Currently, Centipede's optical sockets with a grid pitch as small as 0.4mm are available.
Testing camera chips requires that the surface of the device be held accurately in the optical plane without deviation or deflection caused by contactor forces. To ensure accuracy, Centipede's optical sockets align a datum plane on the chip's surface to the lens or optical system with minimal stress on the chip.
"Most existing test socket technology is about a half century old and incapable of testing complex optical chips," noted Dr. Thomas H. Di Stefano, president of Centipede Systems. "Although our initial optical sockets are for testing single camera chips, sockets for testing arrays of camera chips are under development in the Centipede Labs," he added.
One of the leading providers of optical technologies, based in San Jose, Calif., is an early adapter of Centipede's optical sockets for wafer-level camera chips, Dr. Di Stefano noted.
Industry consultant Dr. Ken Gilleo of E-T Trends LLC, Warwick, R.I., noted, "Image socket design is hardly a trivial matter. Designers will often face and must overcome many critical issues including focal plane lens alignment, light blocking, reflection blocking and force distribution when working with optical devices."
Centipede Systems is a technology leader in connectors and sockets in applications where performance, power and density are critical.
