About Touchdown Technologies
Touchdown Technologies, established in 1996 and headquartered in Baldwin Park, California, operated in the semiconductor industry. The firm specialized in the design, manufacture, and support of advanced Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) probe cards. These devices are critical for testing semiconductor wafers and dies, a key process in quality assurance for chip manufacturers.
The company's business model centered on providing patented technology to the semiconductor sector, with a particular focus on the flash memory market. This market includes memory applications such as DRAM, NAND, NOR, and Serial Flash, which are integral components in consumer electronics like digital cameras and mobile phones. By delivering scalable technologies for high-parallelism probe cards, Touchdown Technologies aimed to reduce the overall cost of testing for its clients, which were worldwide semiconductor manufacturers.
The company's journey included significant backing from several venture capital investors, including Adams Capital Management, Pequot Ventures, and Sun America Ventures. A major milestone in its history occurred in 2009 when it was acquired by Verigy, a provider of semiconductor test equipment, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary.
