Why Semiconductors Chooses ABI
Repairing semiconductor equipment in-house isn't a workaround, it's a capability. BoardMaster and SENTRY diagnose and repair down to component level, keeping test and production lines running without a stalled tool or a compromised supply chain, so your team controls the timeline rather than an external supplier.
“We are enthusiastic & see many possibilities for the BoardMaster to help us repair PCBs. The training provided has given us the knowledge to use the BoardMaster in many different ways.“
Edil Trinta, Principal Engineer at Collins Aerospace.
Screen for counterfeit ICs before they reach the PCB
SENTRY compares incoming components against a trusted reference before assembly.
Keep test and production tools running, not stalled
Diagnose and repair in-house instead of waiting on OEM repair turnaround.
Recover documentation for undocumented boards
RevEng generates the schematic directly from the physical board.
Semiconductor Applications
A single failed board inside test or production equipment is enough to stall the line. This is where in-house, component-level repair applies.
Wafer Handling & Automation
- Component-level repair of robotic handler control boards
- Restores automation equipment without OEM repair lead time
- Pairs with RevEng when no schematic survives for legacy handlers
ATE test rack semiconductor
- Repairs the boards inside test and measurement equipment in-house
- One system covers digital and analogue functional test across families
- Keeps test capacity available without scrapping ageing ATE
Process Control Systems
- Component-level diagnosis of process control boards
- Resolves No Fault Found cases simpler test equipment cannot catch
- Reduces production line downtime from control electronics failure
Component Inspection
- Screens incoming ICs for counterfeit and non-conforming parts
- Compares PinPrint against a trusted reference device before assembly
- Produces an auditable inspection record for supply chain integrity
Cleanroom Monitoring Systems
- Repairs environmental monitoring and control boards in-house
- Keeps cleanroom compliance systems running without OEM lead time
- Component-level fault isolation across digital and analogue circuits
Packaging & Assembly
- Component-level repair of packaging and assembly equipment boards
- Keeps equipment in service that would otherwise be scrapped
- Expandable test coverage from 64 to 256 channels as lines grow
FAQs
Answers on repairing semiconductor manufacturing equipment in-house, and screening incoming components, without relying on the OEM.
Can BoardMaster repair the electronics inside semiconductor production and test equipment?
Yes. BoardMaster diagnoses and repairs circuit boards at component level, including boards inside production, handling, and test equipment, without requiring OEM documentation.
How does SENTRY detect counterfeit ICs in a semiconductor supply chain?
SENTRY compares the electrical PinPrint of incoming components against a trusted reference device, detecting counterfeit, cloned, and non-conforming parts at goods-inward inspection, before the component reaches the board.
Which semiconductor manufacturers use ABI equipment?
Named customers include Teradyne, Micron, Texas Instruments, Samsung, TSMC, NXP, and Intel.
Does using BoardMaster reduce equipment scrapping?
Customers report that in-house repair with BoardMaster keeps equipment in service that would otherwise be scrapped or sent externally for repair, reducing both cost and downtime.
