Core offering

Robson Technologies (RTI) designs and manufactures custom IC test sockets, test fixtures, and automated curve tracers for semiconductor testing from device to PCB level. All design, precision CNC machining, PCB design, and quality inspection are performed in-house at their Morgan Hill, California facility. The company also offers the proprietary DataTrace software platform for curve tracing, batch comparison, failure analysis, and counterfeit detection.

Product overview

Robson Technologies (RTI) is an IC test socket manufacturer and designer of custom semiconductor test solutions, offering a comprehensive portfolio of test hardware and software. The core product line centers on IC test sockets in multiple variants (IC Sockets, BGA & Universal Array, Burn-In & HAST, Die-Level/FA, PCB Module/MCM, WLCSP & MEMS), complemented by IC test fixtures (950 Series, RSK Series), PCB test fixtures (including Bigfoot Functional Test Fixture), mechanical press and pneumatic fixtures, interconnects (Pogo Pin Blocks, DUT Boards, Remote Docking), and temperature control solutions. RTI's automated curve tracing portfolio includes the MultiTrace (216-1152 pins) and MegaTrace (1080-2160 pins) systems, paired with the tiered DataTrace software family (Basic, Labs, Max, Max & Latch-Up, View, and SDK Kit). The 96-Channel Manual Switch Box provides manual curve tracing capabilities. All solutions are U.S.-designed and built in Morgan Hill, CA, backed by over 35 years of engineering expertise with in-house CNC machining and full quality inspection.

Direct peers

• Cohu: Cohu is a leading global supplier of semiconductor test equipment and test contactors (including former Everett Charles Technologies). It directly competes with RTI in IC test sockets and probe contactors used by semiconductor manufacturers and OSATs worldwide.
• FormFactor: FormFactor designs and manufactures advanced probe cards, test sockets, and contactors for the semiconductor industry. It is a direct competitor in the IC test interface space, serving similar fabless, foundry, and IDM customers across wafer probe and final test.
• Leeno Industrial: Leeno Industrial is a South Korea-based manufacturer of IC test sockets and contact pins. It serves the same semiconductor test market as RTI, with comparable product offerings in BGA, QFN, and package-level test sockets for global IC manufacturers.
• Yokowo Co., Ltd. Yokowo is a Japanese manufacturer of test sockets, probes, and connectors for the semiconductor industry. It competes directly with RTI in custom IC test sockets and spring probes for high-volume semiconductor test applications.
• Micronics Japan Co., Ltd. (MJC): MJC manufactures probe cards, test sockets, and semiconductor test consumables. It is a direct competitor in the custom test interface market, particularly in advanced packaging test sockets for memory and logic devices.
• Smiths Interconnect: Smiths Interconnect designs and manufactures high-reliability test sockets, probe pins, and interconnect solutions for semiconductor test. It serves the same end-markets (aerospace, defense, medical, telecom) as RTI with overlapping custom test socket offerings.
• Johnstech International: Johnstech International is a specialty manufacturer of test contactors and IC test sockets for the semiconductor industry. It directly competes with RTI in high-performance, custom-engineered test interface solutions for RF, analog, and mixed-signal devices.
